Grimsby’s Top Town Market will close in February for redevelopment, but it will temporarily move within the shopping center during the transition.
Grimsby: Big changes are coming to the Top Town Market. It’s set to close in February for some major renovations. The market has been around since 1976, so this is a big deal.
After it closes, the market will temporarily move inside Freshney Place shopping center. This is just a stopgap until it finds a new permanent home.
The redevelopment is part of a £49.96 million project. It will bring a new cinema, public spaces, and a food hall. Exciting stuff, right? Nando’s might even join the fun!
Council leader Cllr Philip Jackson called this project one of the biggest they’ve ever done. Sure, there will be some disruption, but he believes it will really transform the town center.
A spokesperson from the council reassured everyone that Grimsby will still have a market. They’re working closely with traders to make this transition as smooth as possible.
They want to create a vibrant space for everyone. The new market will focus on leisure and retail, making it a great spot for all ages.
Traders were updated on the plans right after a council meeting in December. They’ll get more details soon, so everyone knows what to expect.
Last week, discussions were held to help traders understand their options. The market is expected to close in early February, with demolition starting shortly after.
Cllr Jackson emphasized the ambitious nature of this project. They’re investing heavily to improve the town and create new shopping and leisure options.
He thanked everyone involved in the current market and expressed excitement for what’s to come. The future looks bright for Grimsby’s Top Town Market!
