19th September 2006 The newly founded East Oxford Farmers’ and Community Market is proving a hit with local residents. Established in August this year, the weekly market has been running for almost two months and is growing from strength to strength. Provided with £2,000 seed funding from the Green-run East Area Parliament – the Council Area Committee covering East Oxford – the market is held each Saturday from noon to 3pm at the Asian Cultural Centre, Manzil Way, off Cowley Road. The market sells local – mainly organic – produce and includes a café serving delicious food. The organising committee is keen to expand its membership. If you want to get involved, email eastoxfordmarket@gmail.com “Providing an outlet for local produce reduces food miles and helps the local economy. It is great to have played a part in getting this valuable amenity up and running.” Says Green Councillor Craig Simmons
