Traders at one of England's oldest markets have told the Daily Express times are still tough after lockdown but customers have flocked back - as Brits love "buying local."

       This week the Daily Express backed a newly launched 'Love Your Local Market' campaign to boost Britain's 1,200 bustling street selling venues.

       So we visited 584 year-old Bury Market, in Greater Manchester, and found its 350 stalls - which attract a staggering 150,000 customers every week and 1,000 coach-loads each year - bright, busy and bustling.

       Traders told us how, despite a recent RAAC concrete crisis at the indoor section of the market, that since Covid-19 customers have been flocking back to their stalls and business has been booming.

       And they added that 'Britain's Favourite Market 2022' boasts such a wide range of goods and foods with the personal touch, they can easily compete with modern online marketplaces.
