The next change of site of the Saint-Denis market (Seine-Saint-Denis) does not pass with the traders concerned. The latter have also planned a blocking operation on Tuesday to protest against the decision. The stalls will have to settle several hundred meters further in a few weeks, indicates News Seine-Saint-Denis.
A project for the whole city center
Currently located on Place Jean-Jaurès, the market will move to Place du 8-mai-1945. The town hall wishes to initiate revegetation work on the initial location of the shops. This project is part of a renovation program for downtown Saint-Denis. It was presented by PS mayor Mathieu Hanotin at a public meeting on Monday.
The protesters are also protesting against a new market regulation currently under study and which could eventually be put in place. Market traders standing three days a week were recently received at the town hall, where they expressed their opposition to the move and their anger.
