Car Boot Sale (Catchpenny Farm)

I am pleased to present a petition on behalf of thousands of my constituents, headed up by Councillor Glyn Lloyd of Hemsworth, Maurice Kent of Kinsley near Pontefract and L. Young from Brierley in Barnsley. The petition states:"The Petition of concerned members of the public,""Declares that the mid-weekly car boot sale and market at Catchpenny Farm, near Fitzwilliam has, for the moment, ceased. The Petitioners believe that this mid-weekly market has been beneficial to the local economy, contributes to strengthening the community and is highly popular. The Petitioners further expect, since they pay their Council Tax to Wakefield MDC, that this Council exists to promote economic development and community well-being and therefore will wish to restore the weekly car boot sale and market.""The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to do all in its power to co-operate with Wakefield MDC in order to reinstate a mid-weekly car boot sale and market such as the one formerly held at Catchpenny Farm near Fitzwilliam.""And the Petitioners remain, etc."
