Birmingham: Today’s the day! The Birmingham City Council is set to make a big decision about the Bull Ring Indoor Market. They’re looking at plans that could change the whole area.

Last year, traders got a heads-up that the current building might be torn down. The new plans could bring in up to 745 apartments or even 1,544 student bedrooms. That’s a lot of new faces in the neighborhood!

If the plans get the green light, there’ll be more than just living spaces. We’re talking commercial areas, parking for cars and bikes, and even a nice courtyard and rooftop terraces. Sounds pretty cool, right?

But there’s a catch. A recent report from the council said it’s super important to think about what’s next for markets in the city. They’re planning to set up a temporary market on the old wholesale site, so traders won’t be left high and dry.

The goal is to have this new market up and running by the end of 2026. And don’t forget, most of the current traders have leases that last until September 2027, so they’re not going anywhere just yet.

This is a developing story, so keep an eye out for updates as they come in!
