HITCHIN Market has scooped a national award for the second time in three years – but one stallholder says his trade is flagging and called for it to be moved to the High Street.
The market won the National Association of British Market Authorities’ Market of the Year 2012 award, which had been won previously in 2010.
But children’s wear seller Malcolm Lesnick said trade is dwindling for the regular traders, especially on a Tuesday, and the market should be moved to the High Street and Market Place to attract more custom.
