You can't park there! Market goes on despite car left overnight
Ludlow Market went ahead as planned despite the vehicle's presence.

There was an usual sight for traders this morning as a vehicle had been left in the middle of Ludlow Market overnight.
The stalls and surrounding items had to be put up around the car.
The council put on Facebook:
"One of our traders has had quite the challenge this morning — a car was left parked on the Market Square overnight, and he’s had to build his stall around it. He’s done an amazing job adapting, but it’s far from ideal for him or for visitors moving through the space.
"We kindly ask that vehicles are not parked on the Market outside of designated loading times. When a car is left behind, we can’t move it until after the market finishes, which disrupts stall layouts, reduces trading space, and makes access trickier for everyone.
"Thank you for helping us keep the Market Square safe, welcoming, and easy to navigate for our brilliant traders and shoppers. Your support really does make a difference."
