"The existing Smithfield Market site is at the heart of our vision for Destination City, where the new London Museum will showcase the capital's rich culture and history to millions of visitors."
"The relocation of the historic Smithfield and Billingsgate markets and their traders to Dagenham was announced in 2022 by the City as a major regeneration programme."
"The Corporation would invest almost 1bn in the move... estimated the new market would bring 2,700 new jobs to Barking and Dagenham and generate around 14.5 billion for the UK economy by 2049."
"In a paper prepared for a finance committee meeting next week, Corporation officers... have confirmed the 'cessation' of the 10b' option at Dagenham Dock and that other options are to be explored."
