“This means the markets are over.'
Hyde has a proud market trading history, but the outdoor market has now been torn down, much to the horror of stall holders.
Tameside Council has defended the umbrellas, saying they are 'health and safety compliant' and 'able to withstand windspeeds up to 41mph'.Eventually they were given new plots, just a few metres away to watch the outdoor market Armageddon. Traders feel the council is trying to push them out of the place where they have been flogging their wares for decades.
In 2024, Umair Hussain - who has been trading outdoors for the last 16 years - said he had to expand his range due to the number of outdoor traders dropping out. He defended the council’s efforts to support the market just over a year ago. But that has now changed. Marie said: “We had a meeting where we voiced our concerns about three months ago where they took notes but they obviously didn’t listen.“No management turned up to allocate stalls and that disrupted everything.“They’re not fit for purpose. We’re better off standing out in the open.”
A repurposed town hall, the overhaul of Clarendon Shopping Centre, creation of a more attractive public realm and a redesign of the markets are all touted in the plan. The shopping centre itself would be the most significant changes proposed on the plan with a key aim being to demolish it. “The master plan is a great idea. But if you look at Hyde, there is only a certain amount of money people in Hyde have to spend.”
