Easter Sunday trading renewed in Marlborough

Businesses across Marlborough have the option to open on Easter Sunday – or, likewise, close – under a policy the Council adopted in a special meeting on Thursday morning.

Continuing a practice initially instituted in 2019, councillors unanimously agreed to allow retailers who wish to operate on the holiday to do so, while also providing for staff who do not want to work that day. The permission starts with this Easter and continues through 2031.

A panel of three councillors –Deputy Mayor David Croad, Deborah Dalliessi, and Ben Stace – recommended the Easter Sunday Trading Policy as adopted after reviewing public submissions.
