Traders could yet remain on the Moor


SHEFFIELD Council leader Jan Wilson said Moor market traders may remain in their current location despite redevelopment of the shopping area.
Stallholders had been told they would be relocated when the street is revamped and have been lobbying for a new home for the last 18 months.

Lib Dem councillors are proposing a motion at today's full council meeting that the market should be relocated to Fargate on a trial basis.

But Coun Wilson said: "An opportunity has now arisen to allow the market to remain on the Moor, which was always the first choice of the traders."



Thought we were going upmarket (unintentional:))
Was quite glad they were going, hope they smarten themselves up.

I'm delighted to hear that. And just why couldnt this have been agreed years ago.

I agree, i'm not happy they are staying but it's people's livelyhoods we're talking about so if they stay the stall needs to be smartened up and located in a 'part' of the moor rather than the whole length!

that's only one of the issues. It's been there for years and many of them have been forced out of business by the supermarkets etc.
