The centre was completed last year and is now fully let – all businesses are expected to be open and trading by spring 2025.

Centre Manager at the Market Place, Aisha Small, said: “We were really pleased to have the opportunity to show the Mayor and colleagues the progress made at the Market Place and showcase the many great businesses that are now open and coming soon at the centre

“2025 is going to be such a great year for the centre – we have more businesses such as Afrikanas, Taco Smash, and Chikaros, heading to imminent fit- out and we are looking forward to having our full line up open and trading next year.”
