The report of the Strategic Director of Corporate Services (Document “AK” that contained Not for Publication Appendix 1) updated the Executive on the review of property required for the market relocation and creation of new public realm on Darley Street. It provided the Executive with an update on the proposed relocation of the ‘Food Market’ to a new bespoke building on Darley Street which followed on from the report submitted to Executive on 10^th July 2018.  It was proposed to extend the scope of the development in order to maximise the regeneration impact of relocating the ‘Food Market’ onto Darley Street and also allow the creation of an area of quality Public Realm adjacent to it. 

The Regeneration, Planning and Transport Portfolio Holder commented that the proposals would lever in many benefits by providing a modern market and open up Piccadilly to bring those buildings into use.  It would also bring the city centre together with Broadway and provide an open space for people to meet and a space in which to run different events to those in City Park.

The Leader commended the proposals in promoting Bradford to become a destination and place to live and work.
