Councillor Malcolm Kennedy, Cabinet member for regeneration, said: "This work is much-needed because St John's Market still has the feel of something that was designed in the 1970s.
"Our proposals will see the market transformed into a much more up-to-date, brighter and more airy environment in line with what we know shoppers want."
