Camden Council and Marlborough Highway have initiated a £3 million project to enhance Queen's Crescent Market, focusing on tree planting and increasing pedestrian accessibility. However, significant community pushback has emerged, highlighting dissatisfaction with the process and outcomes. Critics claim that despite extensive consultations, their feedback was largely ignored. Many residents and traders describe the execution as subpar, with concerns about public safety and the impact on local businesses. Complaints include crumbling pavements and increased rents, exacerbating socioeconomic issues in the area.
Juliette Cochrane commented on the consultations saying, 'This is a historic street with one of the oldest markets in London... It's appalling the waste of money.'
Antonia Brown expressed frustration, stating, 'We the public attended them, putting forward objections and concerns, and then... they seemed to disregard many of our sound objections.'
