Leeds Kirkgate Market traders, who used to be in a prime spot, are angry that a key passageway has been blocked-off for "six years" for building works.
The disgruntled traders say their rent has continued to increase while footfall has decreased radically. The traders claim they were initially told Butcher’s Row and the area surrounding it would only be blocked off for a matter of months.
Narinder Sharma, 68, owns a curtain stall in a passageway next to the blocked off area – which was once a buzzing passageway populated by shoppers on the move.
