NEWHAM COUNCIL PLEASE DO WEATHERPROOFING BEFORE COSMETICS AT QUEENS MARKET. Okay. If they have a limited amount of money. Instead of trying to make it 'look' 'pretty', lets use common sense. Even if we make it look pretty from outside to 'attract' visitors, when they go inside and get wet from roof water or walk into a puddle of dirty water, they won't be coming back. Locals who shop there will continue to shop there. There are cheap vegetables and fruit on offer for those on a limited budget and due to the pandemic we now have so many more people at food banks then before. Lets keep it simple and do the basics: * Put doors at the front and back of the market to make it indoor (This will stop pigeons and you can easily add security guards) * Make the staircase to the car park, indoor (This will stop pigeons coming in) * Remove dirty netting and fix/repair/install a new roof so no more water inside. This is priority before adding any cosmetic changes. If we really want cosmetic changes, there are some artists willing to work at a cost rate/decent rates. Please have a look at the the Wood Street walls project in Walthamstow. But again, there is no point in painting it and wasting such large amounts of money on painting, when there is so much more basics needed at Queens Market, apart from cosmetics. By adding doors, security and sorting the roof, it will weather proof the market and look after residents and traders during the rain/winter. Due to limited space, keep the canopy's at the front for some traders and make the rest indoor. NEWHAM COUNCIL PLEASE DO WEATHERPROOFING BEFORE COSMETICS AT QUEENS MARKET.

This would help remove those unsightly columns that are dotted around all over the place in the market, and would help open up the sight lines entirely.
