Proposals have been submitted to site Arnold Market permanently in Eagle Square.
The plans drawn up by Gedling Borough Council request the use of the land for the siting of 12 market stalls with a change of use application having been submitted.
Traders were first moved from the nearby town square in 2021 during the building of the £4m Arnold Market Place development.
Arnold Market is made up of stalls trading on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays selling products including fruit and veg, fashion and butchery and had been operating from the old Market Place for over 50 years.
It was recently announced the market would remain in Eagle Square until the end of 2026.
Back in 2022, traders said they now preferred being based in the Square.
Steve Bradley, 63, said: “It’s a lot better here and the public seems to have embraced it.
“I was indifferent to it at the time because nobody likes change and was a bit apprehensive, but it seems to have been a successful move because it’s central to the shops.
“It’s a lot better here, we were quite worried about the weather and wind but that’s proved to be manageable. I’d definitely prefer to stay here.”
Tony Smith, 62, also wanted the move to be made permanent.
He said: “I do like it here, it seems better and I want to stay here.
“I have already voiced that opinion to the council when we were asked. It’s more or less the same but there seems to be a bit more passing trade.
“We weren’t too keen to come here in the first place because we thought it might be too windy but there have been two winters now and the weather hasn’t been a problem.”
