Ben Jackson

Available for over a year

Traders at Beaumont Market in Leicester have been told they can stay open for another four months. The market in Beaumont Leys was set to close on 3rd September due to a gradual decline in trade. But Leicester City Council has now decided the market can remain open until 31st December. The council said previously it had made the decision to close the market "reluctantly" - and has now granted the extension after listening to traders. Symone Cooper is one of the market traders who contacted Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Radio Leicester about the traders' petition to the council for a temporary reprieve, and tells reporter Jo Hollis that they're very pleased with the outcome.
