Protect Smithfield meat market and Billingsgate fish market from closure.
I would like Smithfield and Billingsgate to be made Historic Trading locations with protected status as a meat market and a fish market respectively.
Smithfield and Billingsgate have helped shape the fabric of London and deserve to maintain their significance, which comes from their function as marketplaces.
