Traders at Nottingham's Victoria Centre Market say they 'have been made homeless' as they enter advanced talks with the city council over compensation. It comes as Nottingham City Council addressed rumours over the closure of the market, with some businesses saying the future is 'uncertain'.
The authority first recommended in August 2022 it should end the current lease for the market to save more than £39 million. But the council said no firm decision had been made and traders say they have been "left in the dark" since the initial announcement.
Two traders at the historic market have announced their permanent closure in the last month and Nottingham City Council has now provided more detail on where discussions are at. A Nottingham City Council spokesperson said: "As part of a review of our operation of the Victoria Indoor Market, we put forward a proposal to end the lease.
