Northampton’s market takes a financial hit as construction to ‘revamp’ the town centre continues
Throughout the last decade, the Market Square has been home to the town’s shopping markets and now stands as a construction site as the development plan to revamp Northampton’s Town Centre takes place.
The Market Square is an important source of economic activity for the community, and the loss of the market’s foot traffic and sales has had a major impact on local businesses. In addition, the relocation has caused a decrease in the number of shoppers, which has further decreased revenue for the businesses that depend on the market.
Local market shoppers share their views about the current market situation and their thoughts on the town’s proposed modernisation plan.
