Indoor market traders in Colne are now happier with plans to move them into other buildings in the town during market hall regeneration work, Pendle councillors have said. Plans to shift traders to various nearby buildings during the market hall redevelopment were discussed by Pendle Borough Council’s leading Executive meeting.
Developer Barnfield is involved with a number of land and property schemes with Pendle Council including the huge business and residential Brierfield Mill project, now named Northlight, near the M65 and Leeds-Liverpool Canal. “The old Poundland shop site is another option. We need a fire risk assessment done there but hopefully that won’t be insurmountable. There is space for 14 traders there. If there were any more delays with Poundland, then traders might need to think if we can sustain them at the hall through the period to Christmas? That will be decided soon when we get the latest information regarding Poundland.”
He added: “I’m pleased this scheme has got a lot of momentum now. The market traders are in a much-more positive frame of mind. When we took over earlier this year, the disgruntlement was sky-high. But I think the traders can see a lot of work is being done to address the concerns that were there and we are progressing things at a reasonable speed, to make sure there is not a big hole in the centre of Colne for a long time.
