over when, or if, Nottingham's Victoria Market will be closing. Stallholders said they had been given details of compensation packages and dates for vacant possession had been agreed.
Steve Dyer, the owner of Frothy Coffee, told customers he would be closing on Friday but now he's not so sure after the council's update. He said: "I haven't a clue what's going on. They haven't emailed us or anything. I should be closing on Friday. It's a horrible, horrible situation to be in. "It feels like they're trying to wind us down so we'll just turn round and say forget the compensation, we're not bothered about that, let's just go."
"It's been handled very very shoddily. This has been on-going for a number of years now. After lockdown there were many new traders wanting to come in and the council put a stop to that so it seems like it was their intention to close the market anyway. A city council spokesperson said: “As part of a review of our operation of the Victoria Indoor Market, we put forward a proposal to end the lease. While our consultation showed strong support for the council’s ongoing running of and investment in Victoria Market, the reality is this is estimated to cost £39m over the next 50 years of the lease.
