Fishmongers have condemned Leeds City Council for the “filthy” and “disgusting” level of maintenance at Kirkgate Market.
The traders have nicknamed a dirty “stinky” water collector a “p*** bag”, after it burst and drenched an unfortunate fishmonger going about his day. The bag hangs above Fish and Game Row in the city-centre market, collecting rainwater which then drains into buckets.
Paul Morgan, 35, has worked in the market for a couple of years. He worked at Tarbett’s Fishmongers at the time of the unfortunate incident which saw him having to strip off and hand over his work clothes to helpful launderette workers in the market.
