Traders move into new stalls in £6.7m Dudley Market revamp
Traders are moving into new stalls created as part of a £6.7million revamp of Dudley Market.
Stallholders left their temporary pitches yesterday and move to the modern stands.
They will be housed in temporary locations in the new market while the finishing touches are made to the stalls.
Councillor Judy Foster, cabinet member for regeneration, said work was progressing well.
"The regeneration of the town centre is taking place before our eyes and quality of the finish has been a priority from the start. This can be seen with the new stone paving that has and continues to be laid, the new public toilets, the new trees on Castle Street, complete with feature lighting, provide a welcome entrance to the town centre, the Duncan Edwards statue has been repositioned, providing greater prominence and now the market stalls are ready for initial occupation.
"All large regeneration projects take time to complete, but it's great to be at a stage now where everyone can start to see the results.
"I would like to thank businesses, shops, traders, residents, shoppers and visitors, for their continued patience and support."
