'Councils like Rossendale are making this happen in a very positive way'
Rossendale Borough Council’s multi-million-pound regeneration plans for its three markets in Rawtenstall, Bacup and Haslingden, have been given a massive commendation from the country’s market traders’ leader.
“Our national conference banner this year is ‘New Markets, New Traders, New Opportunities’ and councils like Rossendale are making this happen in a very positive way.” He added: “Borough Market in London is a great example of how a dreary area has been made into an area with a real buzz that attracts thousands of visitors.”
“The aim of our federation’s Young Traders’ Scheme is to encourage young entrepreneurs and for them to attract a new young customer base who they relate to and who at present spend a lot of time shopping online."
