Buoyed by the success of the recent Christmas market which was organised in a few days, town councillors will now look into holding a monthly market in Middleton Street to attract shoppers.
“At the moment the only thing bringing people into the town is the Metropole Hotel and the lake and with the likes of the Victorian Festival cutting back, the town is missing an identity. I just thought if we had a market or other traders to bring people in. “I think a market would be a good idea, research shows footfall goes up when there is amarket in town and there would be a lot of benefits for local traders.
“I don’t think a farmer’s market would be in competition too much, but there is a monthly artisan market at the Pavilion and a weekly market and I would not want to affect those. This is a toe in the water situation.”
