The local authority is not fit for the task and there is already an organisation in place which does it and does it well. Does Hackney Council not have other issues nmore urgent to focus on rather than something that actually work?

It is unmitigated sucess story; largely because it has harnessed immense local energy and vitality. Hackney council should do the right thing and recognise that some things should be left at arms length. Localism must be nurtured not regulated to death.

The market has grown consistently since it was restarted and is now well known across London. What possible benefit could come from the Council taking over such a well run market? I have not seen another venture that manages to employ teenage boys every friday night. If the Council wants to run a market they should learn from Broadway Market's example and set up another market eleswhere, or simply offer support to all Hackney's street markets.

Why not use their model of good practice to set up a similar market in a more deprived part of the borough?
