Sheffield market traders have demanded that 'long-standing issues' within the market be fixed ahead of a proposed rate rise

Traders at Sheffield's The Moor Market have sent a letter to the Council demanding that issues within the market be fixed ahead of a proposed service charge increase next month. Traders say that these issues include faults with doors, disabled access lifts and lighting, as well as issues around drainage beneath stalls, which they claim leads to bad smells within the market.
The traders also say that signage from shops which left the market “years ago” has never been removed.
Sheffield City Council confirmed that it had received a letter on behalf of the group of traders, and that the market’s management team was now looking into the claims raised in the letter. The council added that the management team would be working with traders to address some of the issues, and that it would contact traders directly regarding this.
