They relocated the market to build the civic centre, the replacement had hand washing facilities, and brick stalls plus an indoor market, all now demolished and relocated again. It's not even worth visiting. It's a shadow of the former glory it once was. It's assumed everyone has a car. There's only Iceland and Mark's and Spencers left to do a food shop. I don't agree with Tesco express and their extortionate prices. All the other supermarkets are outside the ring road. It's a dump.
