Southwark Council has the following markets: East Street Market, Peckham, Southwark Park Road, North Cross Road Market, Canada Water Plaza (food market)

Here is the Council’s response to our FoI request:

Q: Do you allow stall holders at your markets to sell real fur? (including small items such as knitted hats with fur bobbles, or key rings with fur trims etc.

A:   The Council allows the sale of fur but it has asked to see our Fur Free Markets policy to consider.

Real fur is cruel and unnecessary. Please urge the Council to ban the sale of real fur on their markets and adopt the official Fur Free Markets policy by contacting Cllr Ian Wingfield, Cabinet Member for Environment and the Public Realm, email: ian.wingfield@southwark.gov.uk
