The Court of Common Council is the City of London's primary decision-making body, and meets nine times per year. It works through committees, like many other local authorities, but it is unique in that it is non-party political. Its main business focuses on the reports of committees, motions and Members' questions.
Today was an important one for my work as chairman of markets. We had two items on the agenda:
Markets - To consider reports of the Markets Committee, as follows:-
(A) Relocation of the Museum of London – to consider proposals relating to the Poultry Market and the relocation of the Museum of London.
For Decision
(B) Strategic Review of Markets – to consider proposals relative to the strategic review of the City’s wholesale markets.
For Decision
Whilst the detail remains confidential at this time precluding me sharing the current plans, it’s good news that the future of our wholesale food markets is receiving such attention.
