Description
Traders at Leicester Market face uncertainty as a £7.5 million revamp, aimed at creating a modern food hub, threatens their businesses. Archaeological discoveries have delayed the project, now set for completion in early 2027. Vendors, relocated to a temporary spot, report significant drops in customers and financial struggles. The new design features fewer stalls and open-air setups, raising concerns about Britains weather.
