Coalville Market has seen some big changes recently, including the money invested by North West Leicestershire District Council to create the new forecourt area outside of the market. But the improvements don’t stop there.
Developing existing traders as well as encouraging new ones, seems to be just part of the key to success at Coalville Market.
North West Leicestershire District Council have been implementing on-going investment into the market and traders have seen footfall as well as profits rise accordingly.
John Richardson, Head of Community Services at North West Leicestershire District Council said:
“Coalville Market is going from strength to strength and we still have lots more to do, we have improved the exterior and now we are focussed on improving the interior with lighting and decoration., month by month we are seeing more traders, more shoppers and more quality local produce.”
Another success story from one of the 1,000 markets taking part in this years Love Your Local Market campaign, that aims to get more shoppers coming to markets, as well as see standards raised across the industry with guidance from the lead partner, The National Association of British Market Authorities.
