The historic market in Leicester is poised to undergo a major overhaul. The site will be made "fit for the 21st century", according to mayor Sir Peter Soulsby who has revealed a vision for the future of the market.
The proposals include removing the old wooden stalls, removing sections of the roof to create open space and a new home for an expanded café, reports LeicestershireLive.
Sir Peter said he wanted to create a venue suitable for modern trading and shopping styles with an up-to-date and inviting environment including new paving, better lighting and a shuttered perimeter for security. The estimated cost of the work if approved is £7.5 million.
