Question R4
Original Document
Is there a role for street-based markets and can market streets be developed as a tourist destination?
Plain English Translation
Should we have street markets and if so, should we make them into a tourist attraction?
This was an unofficial 'plain English' version of the Big City Plan Work in Progress consultation document about how Birmingham (UK) should be developed over the next 20 years. For more information, see the About page.

The official consultation closed at 23:59 on Friday 6th February. We closed comments on the same day at 12 noon here in order to get them to the council on time, in the format they want.
We sent a printed copy of all comments that were made before midnight on 4th Feb to the council by post (recorded delivery). And sent the balance electronically (on 6th Feb).

The German Market is a good example of how this has worked for Birmingham. I would like to see more local produce in either the current market area – farmers accociations need to be encouraged that city dwellers and visitors would be interested in buying produce. Having lived in the heart for two years now it is amazingly difficult to get hold of organic meats, fruit n veg. The fish market is great and do use it regularly but find the whole set up of that particular market not an enjoyable experience.
