    The 'Market Quarter' sign that was erected on King Street in 2013 has finally been fixed. For the last three years it has been held together with gaffa tape.

    Today contractors working for Sefton Council were busy fixing the sign.

    Better late than never!

    What market?

  8. paulollie says:08/09/2018 08:33 AM
    Exactly.....the word market is a joke for this set up. But hey ho everyone luves a Tesco or Lidl

  9. chrismatt. says:08/09/2018 12:15 PM
    I thought the market was in front of Marks & Spencer

  10. MargeSimpson says:08/09/2018 02:38 PM
    I believe that an unnamed official from Sefton Council has announced that "Market Quarter" actually refers to the proportion of the (already very small) market that we once had.

    Fixed !!!

    All that seems to have been done is replace the black gaffa tape with grey tape!
