A Nottingham councillor has spoken out on his vision for a market which has gone from "strength to strength". It comes as fences which blocked part of the Sneinton Market were recently taken down - and excitement is now building up for whatever is next for the area.
Councillor David Mellen, Leader of Nottingham City Council and ward councillor for Dales, has told Nottinghamshire Live that Sneinton has become an "exciting destination". "If you go there on a sunny day, it is full of people", he added.
The vibrant and rejuvenated area is home to popular café Blend, international shop Murat, and plenty of independent businesses operating in the shopping units spread around the market. Besides the business opportunity, work is near completion on the student accommodation block on the corner of Bath Street and Carlton Road, which neighbours another development of its kind on the Lower Parliament street.
