Market wins National Award The winners of the Great British Market Awards were announced at a prestigious event in Birmingham earlier this month, and a local market was amongst the winners.

Traxx Market, Chapeltown have been voted Britain best community market! The awards were presented by Simon Baynes MP for Clwyd South, the Chairman of the AllParty Markets Parliamentary Group. The awards are organised by NABMA (The National Association of British market Authorities) The award attracts tens of thousands of public votes, and the winner is chosen from a shortlist who are then visited by mystery shoppers and finally selected by a panel of industry experts. Best Community Market - Traxx Market, Chapeltown, Sheffield The awarding panel had this to say about Traxx

“Traxx is a weekly market delivered by a community enterprise. This has been a community project to save a market which had served the community for almost 125 years. It was formally run by a local working men’s club and Covid provided a terminal threat to the future of the market. Three residents formed a community enterprise, and the rest is history.

“From a site that was described as a complete mess with broken stalls and damaged gutters and rat-infested cabins, the market has had a complete face lift. This market has pulled community support and provides an offer that is now very different focussing upon street food and families. It has also not been frightened to ask for help bringing in external eyes to help both trader and operators alike.” “Nominations came in from far and wide and presented the most difficult of jobs for our judging panel. The judg-

ing panel was representative of some of the most experienced market professionals in the industry. We would like to pay a huge thank you to the NMTF and their Chief Executive Joe Harrison for their support of the 2022 Awards. We would also like to thank Blachere Illuminations for their sponsorship of the awards. “Markets have shown great tenacity, innovation and enterprise over the last two years and continue to be valued as key parts of local communities and vital to the regeneration of our towns and cities.” “Congratulations to all our winners.” An overjoyed Paul Swift from Traxx Market told Look Local "We are over the moon to win the award for Best British Community Market 2022. It's the result of lots of hard work and thanks to the team of volunteers, we did it!!"
