Nottingham City Council is selling off a car park serving a historic market which is set to close in months. The Labour-run authority is set to close the Victoria Centre Market by March 31, 2025.
Several failed rounds of negotiations fell through and the March 31 closure date is the latest in a long line of closure dates that have been and gone. Traders believe that the March 31 date will be the end though and many have already had to leave. "The requirement for parking has now ceased and to bring it back into beneficial use would require capital expenditure which outweighs potential income. The site could be subject to anti-social behaviour and become a liability for the property management team."
