"It was clear that traders are passionate about the market and its importance to the local economy," he said.
"Although planning for this year's market is in its early stages, these views, together with feedback from other stakeholders, will form part of our planning for this year's event."
He stressed that no decision has yet been made over whether or not there will be a one-way system in place this December.
Guild chairman Mark Hollingworth acknowledged that the council had to address the overcrowding at the market in 2011.
"But I think in 2013 we need to strike the middle ground in that the look and feel of the market is more pleasant," he said.
