A transformational residential-led regeneration scheme utilising underused land and buildings in the heart of Stafford.
Details
Leek’s rejuvenated indoor markets re-opened to traders, shoppers and visitors after a £3.4 million transformation in November 2024, refurbishing the Victorian Butter and Trestle Market to broaden the appeal of the markets to a wider range of customers and traders and provide creative and artistic space for community use.
An additional entrance at the Trestle Market allows the two market halls to now operate independently, enabling weekend and evening events to be held in the Trestle Market, while the Butter Market Hall has newly-restored Victorian shop fronts to improve the customer experience and provide modern, flexible retail units.
Supporting the Council’s net zero target, solar panels and air source heat pumps have been installed along with replacement of the Trestle Market roof to improve insulation. Customer safety, comfort and security has also been improved with the installation of Wi-Fi, CCTV, insulation and heating.
