Reopening date for The Moor Market in Sheffield after long closure due to cockroach infestation
People could be seen in the venue preparing stalls and re-stocking
Traders at The Moor Market in Sheffield have been given a reopening date after a cockroach infestation.
Stallholders have been told the market will open on Monday, July, 13.
The unprecedented 16-day shutdown is due to reported German cockroaches and affects more than 50 traders and 12 cafes.
People could be seen in the venue preparing stalls and re-stocking today, Friday, July 10.
Lights were on and people were busy in the food court at McKay’s cafe, Afroflava, Malaysian Cafe, Ping’s Kitchen and Lemongrass. The shutters were also up on Global Sewing and other non-food outlets.
It comes after two previous dates were scrapped due to the re-appearance of the pests.
Council chiefs previously said they wanted 48 hours without cockroach activity before the doors could reopen.
The Star has asked about compensation for traders.
