A Thriving & Affordable Market Street

Overview

Through workshops, market-stall engagement, business outreach and co-design sessions, residents and traders told us how central Hoxton Street Market is to everyday life. People value its affordability, the social connections it creates and its role in supporting the local community, particularly during the cost-of-living crisis.

Many people also said they want Hoxton Street to remain lively, welcoming and easy to use, while better supporting traders and local businesses.

This theme focuses on:

  • Supporting a vibrant, affordable and diverse market offer
  • Keeping Hoxton Street at the heart of community life
  • Making the street safer and more comfortable for people walking, wheeling and visiting
