Traders are 'standing firm' and are keeping the posters up

Nottingham City Council says there will be no change to the situation faced by traders at the Victoria Market for at least another month. The authority is also asking for posters about the uncertainty on the venue's future to be taken down, having recently been put up by traders.

Nottinghamshire Live first reported on uncertainty about the historic venue in January 2022, when it was revealed that Nottingham City Council was in "ongoing discussions" with its asset managers, Global Mutual. A consultation was then held between April and June last year and, since then, Nottingham City Council has been in talks about compensation offers with the 30 remaining traders in the event of the market's closure.

"We've been waiting all this time for some clarity on our future but, as soon as we put some posters up, the council seems to move very quickly. We just don't know what else we're supposed to do at the moment to try and get some answers." The authority also says it has told traders that it will provide them with an update before the end of April or sooner if it has "further information to share". But a spokesperson added: "We understand that uncertainty about the market's future is uncomfortable and unhelpful for traders.

The greedy Council are out of order I say keep the posters up.

There is nothing Historic about this market. move it

City council, not County Council

This whole issue could go away with a simple solution which would benefit both sides. The council should calculate the cost of each stall and lease it out at cost. All the stalls would be again occupied, with hundreds returning to the market which would generate spending at INTU

NottsCC you may wish to remember who you actually work for… the public.

The inept CllrDavidMellen and his merry bunch yet again. Robin Hood Energy, Nottingham Castle and the Victoria Market are a roll call of ineptitude yet still he clings on to a job. I’d have resigned in shame by now after all this. MyNottingham
