Sandbach Market Traders are participating in the high profile 'Love Your Local Market' 2016 campaign, with local MP Fiona Bruce lending her support for the event.

Led by the National Association of British Market Authorities, over 1100 markets across the country are taking part with a focus on youth and teenage Markets and Traders. Sandbach Market Traders have hung bunting and balloons in Sandbach Market Hall, with some traders offering special promotions and offers to celebrate.

Public Consultation on the Future of Sandbach Market Hall

The Market Hall is situated right at the heart of Sandbach Town Centre. It operates as an Indoor Market for just two days a week, housing eighteen small businesses, and is closed for the other five days a week. Last year Sandbach Town Council subsidised the Market Hall at a cost of £20,000. Being empty for most of the time, the solid brick building usually looks cold and uninviting to visitors.

In recent times, Sandbach Town Council has worked closely with Cheshire East Council in the review of the Sandbach Conservation Area.  This significant piece of work has seen a full boundary review, alongside the development of a Character Appraisal which is due to be formally published summer 2016.
