MARKETS IN the Meander Valley probably will not start up again until after September, due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Deloraine Market organiser Bodhi McSweeney said her market had hoped for earlier but was also being held up by building work at Deloraine Showground.

Westbury Market may start up again in August or September, according to organiser Rob Menzie.

Mole Creek organiser Ken Philpott said COVID-19 related council restrictions meant a delay until September.
