Traders 'could have felt differently' about St Johns Market future

A former market trader has recalled the devastation of having to relocate his family business from St Johns Market after six decades in the city centre venue. In March, traders were left standing outside the city centre trading point after Liverpool Council officers locked the doors over unpaid rents. Among the businesses made to leave was Ravi Soni’s shop that had been in place since the 72-year-old helped his dad set up the stall when he was just 10.

This is made up of some leaving the market before the end of their official agreement with the council and some businesses occupying two units while only being officially listed as operating one. Since being locked out, Mr Soni has been able to set up a new site next to St Johns and reflected on the challenges in the six months that had passed, given his long association with the market. He said: “I wasn’t able to trade and it took me a long time to find a new place.
