At Last! Barnet Market improvements
While work is under way resurfacing Barnet Market its temporary home will be the area around the bandstand outside the Waitrose supermarket at the Spires shopping centre.
hoppers visiting the market on Saturday morning (21.9.2013) were handed leaflets announcing that at last the William Pears property group is to start its £100,000 upgrade of the site.
The market will move temporarily to the paved area around the bandstand from Saturday 28th September; the improvements should be completed by November, when trading will resume in much improved surroundings.
In addition to the long-promised resurfacing, there will be new fencing around the market and the installation of toilet facilities for the stall holders.
Planning approval has been obtained by the Pears group to use the market site as a car park except on the two market days of Saturday and Wednesday.
