A £175,000 contract awarded to a company less than a year old to develop plans for a new Birkenhead Market in an old Argos on Princes Pavements has come under heavy criticism. The local authority is continuing to move ahead with the plans despite it being unpopular with traders.

” Mr Featherstone’s father, Alan Featherstone, has applied for a market rights licence to allow him to operate a market from the vacant Marks and Spencer unit in the Pyramids Shopping Centre .

The location of Marks and Spencer is incredibly popular with traders and has been for a long time.
