Image credit: Eve Davies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Plans to renovate Cardiff\u2019s 130-year-old market, which will see the demolition of the two central aisles, landed on traders desks without consultation, stall owners reveal in our latest podcast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to plan, the renovations will mean a new 70-seat eating area on the ground floor will replace some traders&#8217; stalls. Juliet Yeates, owner of On Time, said her stall will be \u201ccompletely demolished\u201d after 34 years in business, a decision she was not consulted about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Juliet said: \u201cThey didn\u2019t ask us what we thought about this proposal, they just landed it on our desk one morning. I speak to customers and they say to me, \u2018If it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it&#8217;.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is so much history and energy here,\u201d she added. \u201cThe emotion of this Victorian place is really fantastic. So if the market comes back devoid of that, then what is there to attract people in?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other stall owners are more optimistic<\/strong> <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>At 25-years-old Jacob Knight is the owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/knight_vintage\/\">Knight Vintage<\/a>, a vintage clothing stall located in the central aisle on the ground floor of Cardiff Market. After existing here for three years, his stall is one of those being replaced by the seating area. Despite this, he hopes to continue trading in the market after the renovations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by a vintage clothing shop in North Thailand, Jacob began trading from his father\u2019s spare bedroom. He started with a Depop shop but always knew he wanted his customers to have an in-person experience. The low rent prices and city centre location drew him to the market. He said: \u201cI\u2019ll always stay in the market. The fact I\u2019ve got a spot in Cardiff Market is dope. I love it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>A little lick of paint won&#8217;t hurt. It needs to happen<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob\u2019s business will not be able to operate from an outdoor location as per the plans to temporarily relocate traders during the building works. He is planning to create an online shop and use social media as a safety net during this time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d love to be able to do it out of a little outside shop but it just isn\u2019t viable,\u201d Jacob said. \u201cOutside shops get damp and some of the clothes I sell are very high-priced.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a younger trader, he admits the potential rise in rent is worrying as he will have to pay a higher bill for a smaller space. However, Jacob is optimistic about the renovations, providing the council handles them carefully.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: \u201cA little lick of paint won\u2019t hurt. It needs to happen. Change is inevitable and it\u2019s a good thing. It\u2019s growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/podcasting-with-Jacob-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Two girls (one brunette, one blonde) sat across table from one boy.

Cardiff Council have now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardiffnewsroom.co.uk\/releases\/c25\/32628.html\">confirmed<\/a> full funding of the revamp. A total of approximately \u00a36.5 million will be invested in protecting, preserving and future-proofing the Grade II* Listed Victorian <a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/2023\/11\/16\/cardiff-market-opens-up-for-rare-shopping-experience-at-night\/\">market<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This funding comes from external grants and loans \u2013&nbsp;including National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Shared Prosperity Fund, and the Welsh Government&#8217;s Transforming Towns programme \u2013 and direct investment from the council.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work on the market will begin in the summer of 2024. It will remain open with the renovations taking place on a phased basis. Tenants will be temporarily relocated to units on the Hayes, directly outside the market, for up to 12 weeks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as the new seating area, the list of works also includes improvement to the original Victorian drainage system, restoration of the market interior, and installation of roof-mounted solar panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Listen to our
