The Coporation Of London plan to revoke the Bylaws concerning Spitalfields Mkt, Smithfields Mkt, and Billingsgate Fish Mkt. This will result in the loss of aroud 120 hard working liscensed porters jobs which have been held at Billingsgate through generations of families since the 1800's even throughout the Wars in which many gave there lives. Please sign our petition to save the London Mkts from this injustice and keep many people in employment, many thanks.
