The market moved temporarily to the paved area around the bandstand on Saturday 28th September and 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.
