Watford Market traders hope a redesign under a 141-home scheme will boost footfall by opening it up to High Street.

Watford Market traders hope a redesign under a 141-home scheme will bring life to what they claimed is currently a “ghost town”.

Since moving from Charter Place, the covered market, accessed near the Exchange Road overpass, has been made up of 45 container units offering a range of street food, retail goods, and services.The design and location have proved controversial and so Toni Budo, of Toni’s Greek Coffee Bar, thinks that a transformation would be “great news for the market” and make it “much better looking for everyone”.

“I think something has got to improve it, it's not a very good place at the moment,” said Joe Stokes from Aylesbury Fisheries. “It’s not a great place for a market, it should have been out on the street.”Images of how the redesigned market could look suggest it will be much more opened-up and visible directly from the high street, which would address a problem that shoppers have often raised.

“It’s hiding, it’s not busy,” added Mr Boahin. “I think when they redesign it, it will become nice and people will get to know it more.”
