The future of the Victoria Centre market has been plunged into doubt after Nottingham City Council published the results of a consultation into the venue. A consultation was carried out between April and June this year, putting forward a proposal to end the lease after more than 50 years of investment.
The council have stated that, whilst there was a positive response to the consultation, responses were from a small proportion of Nottingham’s residents and were "mostly elderly white British residents who shop and use the market regularly". "We will be fighting it and doing everything within our powers. We handed over a 7,000 person petition to David Mellen and it doesn't seem to have gone anywhere - it's outrageous."
Mary Jane, 75, from Sherwood: “It’s been there for a while. I think they should leave it alone. The thing is it’s not getting customers. You can notice there’s not much there anymore.” “We have considered the feedback from the public, traders and the landlord. Following a review of the options in light of the consultee responses, the council’s officers are likely to recommend the council ends its lease and operation of the Victoria Market. We understand this would be a huge disappointment not only for customers and the wider public, but especially for traders at the market.
People keep saying its been there 50 years. It's 12th century. It's just 50 years at that location. If you want to see how it can be done, look at Leeds Market. Landmark building with traditional and farmer's style market. Outdoor 'Del Boy' style market next door.
