The central area of the market has already been cleared
A construction and development company has been appointed as the new main contractor for the £500,000 refurbishment of a market. Waterfoot-based B&E Boys will be carrying out the improvement works on Haslingden Market and work is due to resume at the end of July.
Other work will include levelling and resurfacing the floor to make it safe and accessible, renovating and reopening the public toilets, improving the trader communal area, and making the market space lighter, brighter and safer. Also, new gates and railings will be installed at each end of the market.The open-air area will be used for music and theatre performances with temporary seating, mini festivals and one-off artisan markets.
A calendar of events will celebrate the opening of the new market including a young people’s market. Rossendale Council is spending £200,000 on the refurbishment and the remaining £300,000 is from the government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
