ESSENTIAL ground works are due to commence at the front of Warrington Market this week as part of the ongoing re-development of the Bridge Street Quarter.
But officials are keen to stress the market will remain open at all times with full access maintained to all entrances for the duration of the work.
Cllr Mike Hannon, the deputy leader of Warrington Borough Council, said: “We would like to apologise for any disruption, but these works are a necessary step in the ongoing redevelopment of the town centre and in particular the opening of the new temporary market in 2017.
"We continue to offer support to our traders and have taken every step to ensure the market remains fully open and accessible to our customers throughout.”
A programme of family entertainment events will take place on the market forecourt throughout August including live broadcasts from Radio Warrington and appearances by the Frozen Sisters.
The works to the forecourt will be completed in advance of the popular Medieval Fair on September 5.
