The redevelopment of Great Homer Street Market could pave the way for significant regeneration in the Scotland Road and Everton area.
Up to £20 million worth of funding is being sought for plans which would see the market expanded into vacant buildings on the edge of the current site. The buildings are owned by Liverpool City Council, which operate the historic market, and could provide space for new for traders and what is being billed as a ‘community market’
The plans form one of the two Levelling Up Fund [LUF] bids that were submitted by Liverpool Council to the Government in the summer. The other focuses on the ‘Paddington South Innovation zone'', according to council documents, and asks for £20m to help stimulate the area’s growing materials chemistry and life science sectors.
