Norwich City Council : Update on Hay Hill market stalls

We would like to address the concerns circulating about the market stalls on Hay Hill:

Norwich City Council is not stopping food distribution from Hay Hill. For years a number of groups have been using our two market stalls at night, free of charge, to distribute food and we will work with them to continue to do so.

Both stalls are rented out during the day by paying tenants. Both will shortly become vacant. One of the stalls can continue to be used by food distribution organisations during the night. However, the second stall is now at the end of its life. The current tenant of this stall is leaving so we will review the stall's condition and look again at the cost of repair.

If the stall can't be repaired we will work with the food organisations concerned to ensure they have a suitable facility so they can continue to work on Hay Hill.

We understand this situation has been unsettling for everyone concerned and will be meeting with representatives from the groups that we understand use Hay Hill to find a way forward so they can continue providing their service.
