The departure of Nottingham's Winter Wonderland rides and attractions has revealed cracks in some of the concrete slabs in Old Market Square. Although a number of slabs have had to be repaired in the past, some visitors said it was the first time they had noticed the latest damage to the surface in the square.
"There should be a barrier or something covering this. I have not noticed them before so it is definitely new", she added. "I have been here when Nottingham Forest got promoted and I did not notice them." Retired Maria Richardson, from West Bridgford, added: "I think we should leave the cracks as they are now because it happens every year after the market. We do not have a proper market anymore anyway - just fairs.The 70-year-old added: "The repairs must cost an arm and a leg. I do not think it is worth to have a market if they have to repair the slabs every time."
A spokesperson for Mellors Group, which sets up Nottingham's Christmas Market in the city centre every year, said: "We work with Nottingham City Council to survey Old Market Square before we start the build for an event. After the event we survey the square again and reinstate any damage found at our cost."
Make the people who took the old slabs bring them back. Give the people back the slab square
Hardly surprising with all the HGV’s loaded up with weighty fairground rides, is it? 🤷🏼♀️
Before you get to the cracked stones in Nottingham slab square you first have to negotiate the 3rd world roads & the pay extortionate car, parking fees😢 welcome to Nottingham 😕
Not made to take the weight of some of the Winter Wonderland attractions ?
It's not concrete - it's very expensive stone
All that money spent and they came from China I believe - should have left the square as it was had bags more character
