Leicester’s Haymarket Shopping Centre has reported a £1 million profit, a year after it was bought by Leicester City Council for almost £10 million.
Back in November 2021 the council said it had taken the opportunity to add the city’s second biggest shopping mall – after the much bigger Highcross – to its property portfolio before the site went to market.
It bought the 1970s shopping centre from money set aside for capital investment within the council’s overall capital programme.
