The Moor Market in Sheffield set to reopen after cockroach infestation
Traders are preparing to welcome customers again
Stallholders have been told the market will open on Monday, July, 13.
It 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.
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 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.
