Residents have been urged by the city council to help shape the future of Norwich Market today.
The council is asking local people to take part in the online survey after consulting with market traders.
Councillor Carli Harper, cabinet member for finance and major projects, said: “We’ve been talking and listening to traders on the future of the market and now we want residents to make their voice heard too so we can get a greater understanding on how we can make our cherished and iconic market better for generations to come.”
The Future of Norwich Market survey includes three design ideas to improve the layout of the market for residents to comment on including a central court, small squares and an arcade.
The council will also make some improvements to the market by early next year, including:
- Upgrading roller shutters
- Installation of CCTV to deter anti-social behaviour and criminal damage
- Upgrade of cross-aisle awnings to protect public and traders in harsh weather
- Reflective paint to reduce heat under canopies
- Looking at ways of reducing pigeons in and around the market, with the use of non-harmful fire gel
Cllr Harper said: “We will be implementing these improvements over the next few months as part of our determination to make Norwich Market one of England’s and Europe’s premier tourist and shopping experiences. We want people from all over the UK, Europe and beyond to come and sample the atmosphere of our magical medieval city and market.”
