I hope that the "revamp" of the market does not mean booting out a lot of long-established stalls in favour of new, trendy, sustainable but expensive stalls which then become vacant after 12 months when it turns out the demand for £5 artisan bread was less than expected. One of the joys of the market is that it is resolutely untrendy and has probably changed little in decades.
