Works to create the ‘Market on the Square’ begin
From January 2024 you will find Accrington Market Traders in new locations throughout Accrington. This is due to the transformational works starting inside Accrington’s Victorian Market Hall, on track for completion by Spring 2025.
Many will be moving to the new ‘Market on the Square’ and work is now starting to prepare their new home.
During December our Delivery Partner Morgan Sindall will be preparing the Town Square to receive the market cabins that will create the Market on the Square. We’ve tried to keep the impact to a minimum but unfortunately to enable both the works to the three buildings (Market Hall, Burtons Chambers and Market Chambers) to take place and to bring in the ‘Market on the Square’ there is a need to makes some changes including moving benches and planters. Everything will be carefully removed, stored safely, ready to be re-installed at the end of the works in Spring 2025.
The cabins will be delivered during this period, and in the new year work will continue to get them ready for the traders to move in. The traders will then be supported to make the move to their new homes.
Morgan Sindall Site Manager, Joel Murray, will be supporting the works. If you have any questions or queries about the projects they may well be answered on our FAQ page. If you have any specific comments or concerns during the work Joel is available via 07966 633 697.
Once the works are completed there will be a special launch event…more details soon.
