Markets Redevelopment Consultation

markets

With exciting plans for the redevelopment of Rotherham Market now underway, we want to hear from you to understand how you use the market currently and what you want to see from the redevelopment.

An online public consultation is now live until Saturday 30 November 2024 here. 

You can also find out more and give your views at two public consultation events:

  • Thu 14 November, 10am to 2pm, Rotherham Bazaar, All Saints’ Square
  • Tue 19 November, 10am to 2pm, Indoor Market main entrance, Howard Street

To request a paper version of the survey, please call 01709 254444.

Meanwhile work has started this week on the demolition of the former Drummond Street shops – also known as the Guardian Centre. Once cleared, the site will become the location for the new modern, central library, which will tie into the vibrant refurbishment of the indoor and outdoor-covered markets, and extensive public realm improvements.

Rotherham indoor market remains open for business as usual while the works take place.
