Save Smithfield Meat Market
The City of London Corporation voted on 26/11/2024 to cease the trading of the Smithfield Meat Market.
We wish for this decision to be reconsidered and ultimately overturned.
The market area is billed to be transformed into a “mix use cultural development”.
This seems to completely ignore the fact that the market has a long 900 year history and is itself a historic part of British culture.
Not only this, many traders, small businesses and individuals rely on this market as a source of income and stock. Many businesses will simply close because of this decision - hardly politics for economic growth!
