Graham Construction has been recommended to carry out a £2m modernisation programme at St John's Market in Liverpool.

The work is urgently required and follows recent improvements to upgrade the roof and lighting.

The proposals, funded through the council's capital programme, will see a modernised entrance on Elliot Street, with the approach to the market being opened up and improved signage making the market more visible.

Councillor Malcolm Kennedy, Cabinet member for regeneration, said: "This work is much-needed because St John's Market still has the feel of something that was designed in the 1970s.

"Our proposals will see the market transformed into a much more up-to-date, brighter and more airy environment in line with what we know shoppers want."
