Green Street Market: All activists to Newham

Green Street Market threatened with drastic and destructive 'relocation', to be replaced by a supermarket. Call for activist participation to prevent this important cheap market that serves the population of London, providing cheap fresh food at prices everybody can afford, from closure or drastic reduction.

Green Street Market next to Upton Park station in East Ham has been and continues to be a bustling vibrant multi-ethnic and cheap market which provides cheap, fresh food to those who can't afford, or who don't want to afford inflated supermarket prices. It is currently under threat from Newham council's so called 'regeneration' scheme. The council proposes to replace the market with, wait for it, another supermarket, relocating the market to another and smaller location, destroying the livelihood of many traders, and destroying the very reason the area is so bustling and vibrant in the first place. There is a meeting at Newham council on the 20th of September where the issue of the 'regeneration' will be discussed. I urge all London activists to attend. This can be stopped, but we need press and direct action, so bring some rotten fruit!
