Start with the joint fee schedule and seller receipts from both towns. It is the source used to decide how sellers compare a posted stall fee when one side includes cleaning; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the common market at Three Counties Gate.
Known: the current file counts 18 stalls charged the same listed rate on both sides, compared with 21 in the prior window. The council records a decision for this window and gives its written reason. The entries have dates and a named clerk.
Disputed: The town office calls cleaning a public service. Sellers ask that it appear beside the rate, not below it. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to one town applies a cleaning fee before the market bell.
Why it matters: the decision determines which residents can rely on the service and which staff must carry out the change. The file does not settle that by itself.
Next: The board recorded the outcome that it retained the existing rule and published the reason for doing so.
