'It has made me feel sick, it is a complete joke.'
Traders say they are still in the dark over their future at the market in the Victoria Centre almost two months after Nottingham City Council said it was minded to end the lease. The once bustling Victoria Market was home to more than 200 stalls, having stood for five decades, however today it is but a shadow of its former self with little hope of a future.
Two months later from the council's announcement on August 9, however, traders are none-the-wiser as to when they may be forced out. "We are still in limbo," says Nick Clark, of Cobblers and Keys. Will Swift, the co-owner of the Madhouse Nut Centre, was perhaps even more frustrated. He added: "It has been a complete shambles.
"If the council is looking for us to relocate now, how can we? Energy bills are high, we've got the costs of living. Many also criticised the council's use of cash on failed projects, rather than supporting long-standing ventures such as the market. The issues have prompted many to close, including the famous Mushy Pea Stall in April.
