18. Market Rights
    As the Markets Authority the Town Council has the right to approve or veto the establishment of another market within six and two third miles of the Market Place. Such an area obviously overlaps with other Market Authorities. Accordingly a modus vivendi has been established with the Borough Council whereby this Council is responsible within the administrative area of Belper but they are responsible elsewhere in the Borough. Car boot sales are technically classified as a market. On April 21 Ambergate Carnival Committee held a car boot sale on Goods Road and are proposing a further one on May 19. A request is anticipated.
