Reconsider the closure of London’s oldest meat and fish markets.

Background

The potential closure of Smithfield and Billingsgate Markets threatens not only the livelihoods of countless traders but also the preservation of an essential part of London’s heritage, economy, and identity.

Additional details

To ensure the survival of Smithfield and Billingsgate Markets, I call on the government to take decisive action to preserve these historic and economically vital institutions. These markets are more than just places of trade—they are integral to London’s identity, economy, and community life. Their closure would represent a failure to protect the nation’s heritage and small businesses.
