Smithfield notes
+Smithfield index 

Update
Found Wholesale Markets - website for Markets Co-location programme. Created last year for public consultation and traders, but not much promoted. Sections on future Smithfield, and also the Dagenham Dock.

I’m also pulling together reference material here - New Smithfield. I’ll consolidate these pages

Angles we touched on
  • What happens to an area when markets move out - or arrive. What will it mean for Smithfield businesses - and Dagenham residents
  • Traders don’t want to move - who makes the decisions in the City Corporation. What will delay mean to plans for the Museum
  • For 800 years Smithfield has been the hinge between City and Clerkenwell
  • When Crossrail arrives in 2022 the area will be the most accessible in London. What opportunities/challenges.
  • What is Culture Mile doing for local people - as well as visitors
