Broadway Market, London, is a vibrant area, bustling with life and full of diverse eateries and businesses that make it a unique destination. However, there's an issue that affects the entire Broadway Market community — the persistent and unpleasant odours emanating from the drains. These odours not only harm local businesses that rely on outdoor seating and street trade, but also impact the overall image of the market, potentially deterring visitors and affecting businesses.

Reports and complaints about these odours have been escalating, creating an urgent need for action from the Hackney Council. The problem becomes particularly severe during warmer weather, and if left unchecked, it is likely to worsen and damage the reputation of the market.

Hackney Council must take immediate action by implementing a more frequent and effective maintenance programme, particularly during warmer months, and investigating any underlying structural or drainage issues contributing to recurring odours. This solution is practical, actionable, and essential to safeguard the community and preserve the thriving market environment.

We are calling on the Hackney Council to make this issue a priority and allocate the necessary resources to clean and maintain the drains on Broadway Market. It is one of Hackney's most popular high streets and an important destination for residents and visitors. It should be maintained to a standard that reflects its importance to the local community and economy.

Please sign this petition to urge the Hackney Council to take action now. Together, we can make a difference and enjoy a cleaner, more inviting Broadway Market.
