Tracey Harding, town centres manager for East Cambridgeshire District Council, also attended and helped staff a stall or two and sold raffle tickets for the birthday hamper.
She said, “This market was part of the Littleport Town Team’s action plan. This monthly event has done much to revitalise the centre of Littleport, not just on the one day, but every shopping day!”
Littleport’s town team did a grand job promoting the anniversary event, and parish councillor Jo Webber got stuck in too, on the stall selling potatoes, together with parish councillor Debra Jordan.
New trader Clair’Marie Mackness and her Just4U cakes did a roaring trade - and portions of the wonderful birthday cake she made especially, were eagerly eaten by shoppers while they browsed some of the other tasty products on offer.
