There is still no date set for the controversial move
What Northampton market will look like once it has moved to Commercial Street is due to be discussed by West Northamptonshire Council this Tuesday . There is still yet no date set for the controversial move, but if plans are approved then the council preparations will get underway.
The Planning Committee Report into the move has since been updated following some concerns raised and will be discussed at the committee's meeting tonight. Should the plans be passed, WNC can begin planning the move of market traders to the site. Some 48 stalls across ten "canopied structures" will make up the market, with eight additional pitches for food trucks. The report states that the operating hours for these traders will be between 9.30am and 3.30pm Monday to Saturday, with traders allowed to set up from 6.30am.
The report also shows Commercial Street has been listed by the Environment Agency as in Flood Zone 3, meaning there is a "high probability" of flooding, a 1 in 100 chance. However, WNC say in the report that there is "no known record" of it happening. One concern raised during the last planning meeting was the lack of public toilets at Commercial Street. Currently, the market is surrounded by public toilets at Northampton Bus Station, Grosvenor Centre and Guildhall.
He said: "It's not pedestrianised and there are going to be people crossing car parks, given most of the trade is going to be coming through the town centre. If people are coming from across town then they're not going to be dropped off at Bridge Street, they'll be arriving at the Bus Station."
