Traders are preparing to welcome customers again today after a two week closure
Stallholders have been told the market will open on Monday, July, 13 and last minute preparations were underway just before 8am.
The market has been closed due to reported German cockroaches, with more than 50 traders and 12 cafes closed for over two weeks.
People could be seen in the venue preparing stalls and re-stocking on Friday ahead of today’s repopening.
Two previous reopening dates were scrapped due to the re-appearance of the pests.
Council chiefs previously said they wanted 48 hours without any cockroach activity before the doors could reopen.
The Star has asked about compensation for traders but the council has not yet issued any details.
