New market will have more stalls but less space than old


30/ 6/2004

PLANS to get Ashton's market traders back in business have moved a step forward.

An application to build a temporary market hall on the Old Cross Street car park was going before Tameside planning committee today (Wednesday), with officers recommending approval.

But as the car park is part of the Unitary Development Plan, the scheme must also be approved by the Secretary of State. If plans are given the go-ahead, the temporary market is expected to be up and running by August, with 140 stalls spread across three linked, prefabricated buildings.

However, there will only be around 65 per cent of the space available in the old indoor, market meaning a reduced amount of space for traders.

To accommodate shoppers, Henrietta Street and Wimpole Street car parks are now open to members of the public and contract car parking. Council employees will instead park at the next nearest site on Union Street.
