Wakefield Market demolition plan - online questionnaire launched
The council is considering a proposal by Sovereign Land, one of the owners of the Wakefield’s Trinity Walk Shopping Centre, to redevelop the market into a multi-screen cinema with restaurants and cafe units.
The outdoor market could be moved to the Cathedral precinct and indoor traders are being encouraged to take up empty shop units elsewhere in the city centre.

“The feedback received during this consultation will be presented as part of a wider report to cabinet to enable them to make an informed decision on the future of the market.
