Ashton market

I have recently been asked to comment by the press about Ashton market. I, like many other residents of Ashton and stall holders are concerned about the future of this market.

I am a member of the Ashton Bryn township Economy and Transport group which regularly discusses how to regenerate the market. One of the suggestions that the group has made is to reduce the rent paid by stall holders. I was delighted to learn last week that the rent has been halved until Easter. Hopefully, this measure will attract more traders to the market.

On a broader point, lots of local people say to me that they liked the market when it was thriving in the past. But unfortunately this nostalgia does not help the market in 2009 - the same people who tell me this do not use the market now.

I would be interested from readers of this blog and market stall traders what would attract them back to shop on the market and what I, as a Councillor, can do in partnership with Wigan Council to help regenerate the market.
