Traders at a market undergoing a council-funded revamp have said the improvements “look great” and should attract more visitors.
Work is underway at the bustling site in Clitheroe, Lancashire, to add stalls, paving and electrics on Station Road.
Andrew Burney, who helps run the D Burney & Son fruit and vegetables business, said “everybody I’ve spoken to thinks the new work looks nice”, but some have raised concerns about the timing of the work.
A Ribble Valley Borough Council spokesman said the improvements had been scheduled over the quieter winter months but “unfortunately, the scale of the project means unavoidable disruption”.
