Council backs plan to save Newtown indoor market
Wednesday 14th September 2011, 12:53PM BST.
Multi-million pound proposals to save a historic Powys indoor market have won council backing.
The Mid Wales Food and Land Trust hopes to retain the Victorian heritage of the 149-year-old grade II-listed market hall in Newtown.
County councillors agreed yesterday to allow the trust to take on a 99-year lease for the hall as long as it is successful in grant applications.
