Management.

The Clog Market took over the management of Rawtenstall market at the end of May 2019 and has worked tirelessly to transform the site and business into a more inviting, viable and social marketplace. It continues to make improvements and has some way to go yet but in six months it has created a market Rossendale can be proud of.
