£4.8million is being spent transforming Colne Market

The transformation of Colne Market is set to start in January which means it will stay open until Christmas. In the meantime, the former Poundland, which is in Hartley Square, is being adapted to create a temporary market hall.

Councillor Asjad Mahmood, Leader of Pendle Borough Council, said: “Work to transform the market will start in January next year. This means that traders can get ready for Christmas - one of their busiest times of year.“If any charities would like to have a stall at the market in the run up to the festive period to raise funds, then please get in touch. Contact Steven Reed, Markets Manager, by emailing steven.reed@liberata.com.

The £4.8m development, which includes £3m from the Government’s Levelling Up Fund, will create a brighter and more modern market hall. An attractive outside area will allow more space for events and there will be a food hall, greengrocers and small retail and trading space at the front.
