Market traders brand council a 'joke' over state of building

Traders at the Victoria Centre Market have branded the current state of the venue a "joke" after a burst pump caused water to flood through the ceiling. Leaks are said to have started on Friday and the issue will reportedly take four weeks to fix, with some entrances to the market shut off in the meantime.

Should Nottingham City Council have managed its finances better over the last 10 years? Let us know here With no detail having been given since then, the city council said it would begin holding monthly meetings with the traders. The first was held on Tuesday . The stallholder said: "It's just a joke. I've just come back from a week's holiday because I can't bear it here, I've got no customers passing me. There's now no fruit and veg stall, no fish, no flowers - there's nothing left."

"One of the issues raised related to a leak in the shopping centre which is affecting the market. This is being urgently looked into and we hope to have an update for stallholders soon.
