8.1 The Council will monitor the application of its Markets Policy and any market event which is operated after the date of the adoption of this Markets Policy will be subject to the Council's requirements.

8.3 Any market operator acting in contravention of any market licence granted by the Council will run the risk of the licence being terminated by the Council with immediate effect on such terms as the Council determines and, in such circumstances, the Council reserves the right to refuse any future applications for market licences submitted by the operator concerned or any person or organisation associated with the operator.
