THE transformation of Cirencester town centre has been praised after a busy day of market trading.

Standard reader Russell Blackaller took this photo of the Market Place on Friday, congratulating everyone involved in the revamp, completed in February.

“What a marvellous sight on a spring day in Cirencester,” he said. “Clearly the designers of the new Market Place have thought about the sun, the church and the historical location of the market.

“Well done to everyone involved in this huge transformation.”
