NUNEATON and Bedworth Borough Council have started a consultation process with town centre marker traders to explore further options for the market in Nuneaton.
The meeting took place on March, 27 and discussed the different options between council officers, councillors and traders regarding the markets sustainability and future development.
Discussions revolved around exploring ways to reduce costs for both traders and the Council.
Jonathan White, assistant director for economy at Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, said: “The discussions were open and constructive, and we genuinely felt the traders understood the points we were making about wanting to work with them to protect the longer-term viability of the market.
“Nuneaton has a long history of offering a vibrant and varied town centre, including a popular market, and we want that to continue.
“We will now produce further options for both parties to consider later this year.”
The council confirmed the market will not close and the consultation is intended to give the traders a viable base for many years to come.
