£250k upgrades to Clitheroe Market given the green light

An upgrade of Clitheroe Market, costing £250,000 and using government cash, has been backed by Ribble Valley councillors.

The proposed market upgrade is a Ribble Valley project linked to government cash from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, which has to be spent by next year. The market is one of a number of projects earmarked for funding, Progress was discussed at the latest borough Policy & Finance Committee meeting. Some areas of existing surfacing have been impacted by regular vehicle access, Ms Hopkins added. The surface was not designed for routine vehicle access even though some traders used vehicles to deliver stock.Conservative Coun Mark Hindle said: "I've been speaking to traders who are very concerned about the time this work might take, especially the bullring area which has an important fruit and veg stall.

Then Coun Hindle highlighted construction projects elsewhere which he understood were done in short periods . He said: "I was speaking to someone about a concrete scheme which was complicated but done in two weeks. That type of approach might cost more money but will minimise the impact. There is a trade-off."

Green Party Coun Malcolm Peplow said: "I welcome all the effort on this project. Regarding the setts, I support keeping them. They are intrinsic to the appearance of the town. If we threw them out, we might as well have a mall rather than a market.
