The decision to close St Johns Market “can’t have been a surprise” to business owners according to a senior city councillor.
Cllr Small debated the issue with Cllr Carl Cashman, leader of the Liberal Democrat group, and said it was a “disappointing” situation to be in. He said: “We tried with the traders, nobody wanted to be in the position we were in last Monday, it was disappointing we didn’t do that but we worked with our solicitors and their solicitors over this for a five month period. It can’t have been a surprise to the traders what happened.
Cabinet member Cllr Small rejected this argument and suggested support had been made available to the 42 businesses still operating inside the market. He said: “That’s absolutely not the case, the market wasn’t in a great place before 2016 and that’s why the council put the £2.5m investment in there.
The Liberal Democrat chief said traders had made “several attempts and several offers” to negotiate with the council but had “fallen on deaf ears.” He also repeated his call for Cllr Small to apologise to businesses for how they had been treated.
