Duplicate entries will not be counted.
Mayor of Shrewsbury, Councillor Elisabeth Roberts, said: “It was a great boost to learn that the Market Hall was voted as Britain’s Favourite Market in January, and so we know that people love the diverse range of businesses there and the personal service offered to the public.
“We now need as many people as possible to cast their vote for their favourite Market Hall trader before voting closes on March 23.”
Mike Cox, outdoor and recreation manager for the Town Council, added: “We are delighted that so many people love The Market Hall and it’s a popular place to shop in Shrewsbury. We know that everyone has their favourite traders, so if you would like to see them in the running for an award, make sure that you vote before the closing date of March 23.”
