Twydall boot fair given green light for 14 weeks

A popular Twydall boot fair has been given approval by Medway Council to move back in to the Beechings Way site for 14 fourteen weeks.

The family-run Greenfield’s boot fair was forced off of the site to allow the development of a proposed Tennis Academy last year, and so moved to the Sans Pareil field near Wainscott, Rochester.

However, the plans have yet to be finalised, and the earliest likely start date for development is the end of 2010.

As a result, the Greenfield family have been given permission to use the field for a fourteen-week run, beginning on Easter Sunday (4 April), after which they would have needed planning permission to continue.

Once the fourteen weeks is up, the family will return to the new site in Strood.

Pitches can be booked by calling Mark Greenfield on 07811 022987.
