Over 5,000 of you have signed a petition to demand Newham Council keep their HANDS OFF QUEEN’S MARKET and for NO DEMOLITIONS.

After months of endless stalls, the Friends of Queen’s Market have helped the local community hit their milestone of 5,000 signatures.

Collectively, we demand to be heard and not to be digitally excluded from through terrible pre-determined online consultations like the “Newham Co-create” website. We the community rely on the market for fresh affordable food for our health and wellbeing and for our families to survive during a COST-OF-LIVING CRISIS!

JOIN US ON THE DAY

We are meeting at: East Ham Town Hall, 328 Barking Rd, London E6 2RP

Date of hand-in: Monday 18 September 2023

Time: 6pm

Councillor Danny Keeling is due to hand in the report on behalf of the local community at 7pm when the meeting starts.

Gallery (above): FoQM and their supporters work tirelessly at a local stall to hear from real voices, real people and to get real signatures from the users of the market. FoQM believe that Newham residents and shoppers are being ignored in the Council’s decision-making.
