Wirral Council confirmed it has already spent more than £24,000 on the plans

A trader has called the local authority's plans to possibly relocate Birkenhead Market to a former Argos unit as "grossly unfeasible."

The plans were first reported by the Echo and the council has already confirmed it has spent £24,000 on these new plans. This is after it confirmed it was reviewing its proposals for a brand new market at the House of Fraser site in light of the Pyramids and the Grange shopping centre purchases.READ MORE: We are looking for the best roast dinner in Liverpool

He said: "This minimarket proposal is grossly unfeasible and 60 stalls short of what our community need. Why are officers considering such a small market for Birkenhead?" Committee chair Cllr Tony Jones said: "The high level feasibility for the Argos store confirms the ability for it to contain 64 ten by ten metre stalls and all the required back of house storage and facilities that the traders would require."Other market traders also asked questions of the committee.
