Royal Commissions on Market Rights and Tolls
Mr Arthur J. Ashton, assistant Royal Commissioner
Of St. Albans Mr Ashton says:— “This market scums to me full of abuses. There is a complete system of protection, which I suspect keeps out of the market foreign vendors who have not much money. The market authority supplies no accommodation whatever, but allows the collector to make a trade of letting out his own stalls. Tho tolls are fixed arbitrarily, and no scale is set up anywhere in the market.” and also— “The Deputy Mayor describes what, has been done quite frankly, and clearly “thought that the Corporation could make the tolls what they liked at any time.”

Markets: While the charter market activity is profitable, the market income was £151k lower than budget and work is ongoing to resolve this. The expenditure budget was overspent by £211k due to additional one-off costs during the implementation stage of the market review and an adverse variance in the second year of the Christmas Market.
