A FRESH fruit and vegetable stall at Bridgewater has been given the okay by Loddon Shire Council.
The PTP Produce hit a snag with its produce stall at Bridgewater Bowling Club last October that saw council order its closure before granting a temporary reprieve while planning issues were addressed.
More than 300 people signed a petition within days of council’s original decision supporting owner Tom Mudge who had estimated the stall generated $15,000 for the club in its 18 months of operation.
“We thought we had gone through the correct process (for a permit) ... we want to do the right thing,” Mr Mudge said.
A formal planning application was displayed on the stall earlier this year and council on Monday confirmed the permit had been granted.
