The first 12 months of renewal will involve consultation
with traders, customers, local residents, businesses, heritage interests and
other interest groups although much will be done over coming weeks.
Consultation with customers has already started with a
container in String Bean Alley being made a consultation centre and vox pops (from
latin vox populi “meaning voice of
the people”) operating around the market. The container will be the feature
venue on Saturday 9th November and Sunday 10th from 10am
to 3pm.
Public questions will include –
Where do you live?
How often do you visit the
market?
What do you love about the
market?
What would you change about the
market?
What aspects do you think should
be protected?
Do you have any aspects of the
market you would like to share?
Do you have a big idea for the
market?
Traders will be involved in three special consultation
groups of 20 traders beginning on Thursday 7th November. Deli Hall
and permanent shop traders will be at that first consultation. Meat, fish and
fruit & vege traders will meet on Tuesday 12th November and general
merchandise traders will join together on Tuesday 19th November. Trader
Representatives will be contacting potential participants over coming days.
