Brent Council served a 'stop' notice on Wembley Market yesterday which looks as if it spells the ending of the market for good.

The market had shifted to the Unisys building at Stonebridge Park after losing its Wembley Stadium site because the Council thought it would undermine the London Designer Outlet. There are plans to replace it with a more upmarket 'artisan' market.

Wendy Markets had submitted a planning application to regularise the Stonebridge Park site but the stop notice has been served before that can be heard. Wendy Markets face a £20,000 fine if they don't comply so the market of some 100 stalls will not operate this Sunday. Brent Council claimed there had been complaints about the market according to Get West London LINK
