Cllr Phil Riley said: “We were really pleased with the turn-out given it was the first car boot sale we have hosted on this site.
“We have had really positive feedback from the people that attended with re-bookings for this week’s event. We have also had requests from food and drink sellers to take up pitches this week which is a really good sign that it’s gaining momentum.”
One seller who attended the first event said: “The event was very well organised and to say it was the first event, it was very well attended too. A lot of footfall was from people passing by. We made a decent profit on the day too which we were really pleased with, we will definitely be back again.”
Access to the site is from Barbara Castle Way to Penny Street.
Motorists are being advised to be careful travelling to the car park as bus lane cameras are in operation.
