RENAMING a heritage market in Calderdale to honour the life of Queen Elizabeth II could still be on the cards.

But a process of consultation into which buildings might be appropriate to mark the late Queen’s life of service will be undertaken.

There was no dissenting at a meeting of the full Calderdale Council from a desire to honour the Queen, who died on September 8, through renaming a place to mark her service.

However reaction of some traders at Halifax Market indicated the matter needed to be discussed and checked against standards and criteria relating to the use of Royal titles.

Coun Howard Blagbrough (Con, Brighouse) originally proposed renaming the building, saying: “We believe the renovated borough market hall will be a fitting tribute to our late Queen as it represents continuity from the reign of Victoria through the Elizabethan era, and to provide a sense of permanency.”

Coun Fenton-Glynn (Lab, Calder) said: “I think it is absolutely appropriate we name something in Calderdale after Queen Elizabeth the Second.

“It’s simply that I think we just need to make sure we find the right place – I want it to be something where you’ve kind of come together.”
