I agree with your question Dave, dont know me-self but there is something fishy going on..........fish stalls on are the outside market aswell??!! :confused::D:rolleyes:

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

There's near unanimous agreement that the actual refurbishment has been a great success.

Some don't like the uncovered flagged floor, because of the uneveness. Personally I think it looks good.

What people are very disappointed with is the resulting feeling of it looking empty, with fewer market stalls.

Residents are also very unhappy that traders are forced to work hours unacceptable to them. After they'd run their businesses successfully for years, before the six day mandate was imposed on them.

Some (philistines) were even angry that tax payers' money was paid to a woman to sit crocheting in the newly 'liberated empty terrain', in the guise of 'community art'. Space which prior to that had been taken up by a market stall, selling goods people were actually prepared to purchase with real money.

Besides that, it is a roaring success.

At least for some.

Who have a certificate to prove it.

All I can say is that NABMA must have looked at some pretty dire markets.......and been nowhere near the one in Bury.

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

I could understand if Accrington had won the "Most Improved" Indoor Market of the Year, because whatever else is said about it (including the pros and cons of 6 day trading), it is 500% better than it was before.

As for "Best" Indoor Market, I can think of 2 or 3 that are better than it in the north west alone, so BALMA's credibility must be questioned on that one.

But let's give credit where credit is due.

Re: Market Hall Refurbishment
 

Why gynn? yes i agree that the improvements were well needed, but as fer being better, theres many less traders now, why is this? on that basis i disagree, it only looks better, its certainly not improved in my eyes.;)
