PEOPLE inspired by The Apprentice have a chance to put their entrepreneurial skills to the test in Boscombe Market.

You can take advantage of free insurance and concessionary rates between June 23 and July 8.

The scheme will be open to start-up traders and people who have a business but have never operated on Boscombe market before.

Roger Parker, Bournemouth’s town centre manager, said the scheme was an attempt to reinvigorate the market after a recent decline in traders. He said the bad weather had an effect, and the rising cost of petrol had deterred some market traders.
