MINEHEAD'S market returned to its Station Yard site on Tuesday to the relief of traders in the town.

In a deal hammered out between Somerset County Council and market operator Edward Davies West Coast Markets, the market will remain on its former home for the remainder of the summer season.

Warren Road traders have breathed sighs of relief at the move. Many have seen their takings drop as visitors from Butlins bypassed their shops on their way to the market's temporary home for the last few weeks near McDonalds.
