A consultation is underway to consider a Sunday market in Calverley Precinct

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is pleased to advise you that it is doing its best to make Tunbridge Wells a thriving place to live and be in business. One of the future actions in the Council's Building a Better Borough Plan 2022-24 is to look at ways to introduce market-style trading in Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council’s Licensing Committee is reviewing its current street trading policy to include ‘The Calverley Road Sunday Special Street Trading Consent’.

The detailed proposal and management plan which sets out how the Calverley Road Sunday Special Street Trading Consent would propose to operate and be managed is set out in the Proposed Management Plan.

The recommendation that has been put before Committee for consideration is that that the Committee approve the proposal as set out above and minor updates to the current policy.

Any proposed changes to the current policy are subject to a public consultation and therefore local businesses and residents are encouraged to make comments and suggestions on this consultation exercise.
