Summer is here, and we’ve arrived at the next stage of the campaign to preserve the Shopping Village as an essential part of the Ridley Road street market.

Very soon the Council will decide on the application to turn the Shopping Village into luxury offices and flats. If the existing traders and artists are to stay in place, then we have to encourage the Council to reject the application.

Come and find out more about the timeline of events, and what you can do, at our next Save the Shopping Village OUTDOOR SOCIAL, 5.30-7.00, Friday 12 July. We’ll meet outside the Shopping Village to chat, meet one another and plan. Everyone who loves Ridley Road is welcome.

N.B. If you need to be able to sit, please consider bringing a folding chair, as we’ll be outside and short on seating.
