Work on the £17.5 million Moor Market will finally start in the summer, 14 years after the plan were first proposed.
The building work will take around 16 months to complete and the new-look market is planned to open on November 4th 2013.
The markets manager Andy Ward revealed that the trade at Castle Market is continuing to fall but hopes a new building would help reverse the decline.
“Castle Market has some fantastic traders and we are trying to look after them in this new building, while also trying to bring back some of the traders we have lost.”
Some members of the public have aired their concerns at the decline of the market. Sally Jenson from the Darnall area said she doesn't think the plans will ever go ahead. "I have shopped at the market for years and it has never changed. I hope the plans go ahead for the sake of the market staying around."
