COLNE open market could become a covered one if plans for a canopy go ahead.
Colne markets advisory panel has been looking at the idea as part of plans to regenerate the town. It has visited Accrington markets and come up with two ideas: a glazed canopy to cover the open market or a part glazed, part canvas canopy.
Traders favoured the idea of a glazed canopy and said it would bring more traders to the town.
It would provide cover to the market on Wednesdays and Saturdays with car parking available at other times. Events and entertainment could also be held undercover.
