Rawtenstall Market plans approved but row outdoor food and booze rumbles on

A planning application to upgrade Rawtenstall Market Hall has been approved by Rossendale councillors. But councillors still want reassurances about further consultation with stallholders, especially hot food firms.

"It is possible, if not probable, that some businesses may close and may not reopen. So we are asking for this application to be deferred until suitable and mutually-agreed plans are in place for trade to continue during refurbishments. Mr Crowley said: "Rawtenstall is a fantastic town with some great shops and restaurants. The market is unique because it has hot food and drink stalls outside. That difference draws people in. If some people want an indoor food hall, there are other options."

"We are in favour of investment and refurbishment. But not at the expense of everything. We think the situation is dangerously close to making a really bad decision. We're asking for a deferral. We will work with the council expediently. We are not trying to stop anything."
