News from the Redditch Advertiser:

WOMBLES, stilt walkers and dragons will be in Redditch to help
celebrate the re-launch of the town's new look open air market.

Following major improvement work, the Redditch Council-run market has
been moved back to its permanent home in Alcester Street with new
stalls, skirts, electrical points and lighting.

And to mark its return, the council has organised events and
activities running until Saturday, November 1 to keep shoppers
entertained.

Young market visitors will be able to take part in a colouring
competition with The Wombles or take a ride on the fun fair.

There will also be street entertainers, face painters and a chance to
find out more about Redditch's different charities.

At noon on Saturday, November 1, Redditch's mayor, Councillor Jack
Field, will unveil the new market plaque and 102 Touch Radio will be
there to broadcast a live show from 10am-1pm.
