I was delighted to be elected to Chair the Markets Committee today. It is an exciting time to take the chair, and I have two significant promises to make good on in the next 12 months -
- First to guarantee a full review of the future of our markets – ensuring we have the full range of options from the status quo to the movement or expansion of our markets.
- To mark a very special event - the 150th anniversary of the modern Smithfield next year.
It was also a delight to attend Billingsgate market this morning, and see our fine fish market in operation. I commend a visit to anyone interested in seafood!
