Earlestown Market Square works set to begin in New Year following consultation with market traders

The transformation of Earlestown Market Square is set to begin in January 2026 following an extensive consultation with market traders. The date has been confirmed following the formal appointment of the Eric Wright Group as the main contractor for the redevelopment of Earlestown Market Square and improvements to the public realm across Earlestown town centre’s high streets. Earlestown Friday Retail Market and Saturday Flea Market will remain in the current location over the festive season before temporarily relocating to Market Street in the new year. We spoke to the traders to find out more about the consultation and why it was important for them that the works begin in January to avoid disruption to their busy Christmas trading period. #ShopLocal and #SupportLocal this festive period.
