Traders at Nottingham's Victoria Centre Market say they 'have been made homeless' as they enter advanced talks with the city council over compensation. It comes as Nottingham City Council addressed rumours over the closure of the market, with some businesses saying the future is 'uncertain'.
"This engagement has now largely been completed and the council is considering the full financial impact of the proposed exit from the market." On the compensation plans, the City Council spokesperson added: "We will now need to undertake further work to consider whether this represents best value for taxpayers before a final decision is taken on the future of the market."
"I do not know where I am going to go. You see all the empty retail units in the city centre." He continued: "It has made me ill. I have palpitations. "With our business, you need to be established to be able to move. We need to start telling our customers where we are going to move but we don’t know yet because the council have not told us. We always find out from the news.”
East Midlands Chamber director of policy and external affairs Chris Hobson said: “The Victoria Centre Market has been an important part of Nottingham’s fabric for decades, with generation after generation having fond memories of shopping with its many independent traders.
Another nail in the coffin for the city…but fear not!…saving the taxpayer £39m despite another hike in the council tax rate in April…I mean, I’m sure Nottingham City Council will spend it all wisely 🙄
