Episode Details

Leicester Market traders are getting a major break—rent waived through 2026—as the city council tackles major construction that’s already slowing business. With most vendors relocated to a temporary spot on Green Dragon Square and foot traffic dwindling, the council’s rent relief is a lifeline, freeing up cash for staff and survival. Upgrades include a new sub-station (up to 24 weeks of disruption) and full market renovation, promising a revitalized space—but for now, traders brace for noise, dust, and fewer shoppers. Officials stress this pause is temporary, urging loyal customers to keep supporting local vendors through the chaos.
