Gutted for the @levymarket guys, sadly it's happening more & more where larger 'artisan market' companies are pitching to take over the community based established markets that bring value to the local economy/well being of the local community😞 #shoplocal #communitymatters
So here we are, the end of our journey. As lots of you will be aware a new market has been appointed by @ManCityCouncil to take up our old stomping ground and start trading later this week in Levy Train Station Carpark...
