Operators of the weekly Warwick market have decided to cancel tomorrows retail market due to the weather warnings in place.
Jamie Walker of CJ's Events Warwickshire said: 'Following warnings issued by the Met Office, gusts of 55mph are expected quite widely, with some places having gusts to 70mph. It would be a breach of our Health & Safety policy to continue the market as normal. We have been monitoring the forecast for the past 24 hours. It is of course a great shame and a decision which isn't taken lightly. However the safety of our staff, traders & visitors is paramount to us and we will always put this first.'
