IN BRIEF
• CHIPPENHAM market has changed its market day from Friday to Thursday in response mainly to new government regulations. The markets operators, Premier Livestock Auctions, said the decision was not an easy one, but the closure of Gloucester market and its Thursday sale last year also had an influence. The Cocklebury Road site hopes to reopen for business on its new sale day later this month, once it has been granted a license to start trading again.
• ASHFORD cattle market has announced its charges are to remain the same when it reopens. Despite extra biosecurity costs, the Ashford Cattle Market Companys tolls and Hobbs Parkers commissions will not rise. *
