Leeds Kirkgate Market traders react as first pictures of new outdoor 'food village' released

Plans to introduce a new shipping-container-style venue were first announced in December 2022, following a decline in the number of stalls and traders operating in the open market. At the time, market traders said they felt blindsided by the proposal, which Leeds City Council said would be as “complementary as possible to the market” while boosting revenue.

But outdoor stall holder Lisa Stebbings does not think this will be the case. She said: “When we saw the plans, it was a little bit of a shock. And there’s all sorts of concerns, like will it encourage even more antisocial behaviour? “Most people are in agreement that the outdoor market should be made smaller. I think obviously, it will make it look busier and quite clearly, we can't fill the stalls.
