However, the market may now be changed to a retail-only facility, depending on the outcome of a tender process for the redevelopment, which will get under way in the coming months.
“Depending on what response we get from the tender process, the councillors will have to decide is wholesale the right use for the market – whether, for instance, deliveries at four in the morning are still appropriate for the area,” he said. “Now the tender process might indicate that some wholesale could be viable, but the big players in wholesale now have their distribution outside the city, and as density grows, it probably isn’t feasible for them to come back in.
The few remaining traders in the market hall said they did not expect any wholesale element in the new market. “We’re here 120 years altogether, with my grandfather and my father before me. My grandparents actually met in the market, so it’s in the blood. We never had to advertise because everyone knew we were always here.”
In 2011 the council announced considerably more modest plans to redevelop the fruit and vegetable market as a retail and wholesale food market. The following year it began repairs to the roof and in 2013 it drafted plans for the redevelopment with the intention of opening the new market in mid-2015.
