FOOTBALL fanatics are in for a treat this weekend when Wolverhampton Wanderers star Danny Batth officially opens Dudley’s new Sunday market.

The Wolves captain will be joined by the Mayor of Dudley, Councillor Mohammed Hanif, at the Flood Street car park market from 10am.

Dudley Council is working with Black Country Market to run the new market, which will see stalls sell a variety of produce, including toys, plants, clothing, food, art and antiques, every Sunday from 10am to 4pm.

There will also be a funfair with children’s rides and a weekly car boot sale.

To entice shoppers, Dudley Council is also offering free parking on Flood Street for the first four weeks.

Balbir Singh, manager of Black Country Market, said: “We’re delighted that Danny and the Mayor are coming to our official market launch. We have a wide range of stalls with something on offer for everyone starting from Sunday.”

Councillor Khurshid Ahmed, cabinet member for planning and economic development, added: “Dudley is a fantastic town centre with a great retail offer throughout the week and this new market will help to add further attraction. I would encourage everyone who enjoys shopping to come along and try out the markets for themselves.”
