‼️💥💥Ridley Road traders and the local community are standing together to resist the eviction of the Shopping Village.
TRADERS DEMANDS:
1️⃣Calling for the return of the original secure and permanent leases for all traders.
2️⃣Rent affordability- there must be a rent cap (to be agreed by traders and landlord) to ensure that traders can continue with their business and not be financially pushed out based on the unaffordability of rent.
3️⃣There must be transparency and clear communication from the landlord with all traders on the terms of the new lease and the return date after the refurbishment is expected to be completed and terms of the new lease.
4️⃣Compensation for the loss of income/earnings during the refurbishment process (which is 2/3 months of forced closure) as this will affect trader’s livelihood and their family responsibilities.
5️⃣No more collective punishment, racist discrimination and over policing of traders. All traders are to be treated equally.
💥‼️Terms of conditions of the lease must be put in writings and concerns must be addressed before traders are forced to leave for the refurbishment process.
Ridley Road Shopping Village is currently under threat. Traders are facing possible eviction and being left without clear or secure lease terms, putting livelihoods at risk.
Markets like Ridley Road, built and sustained by migrant and racialised communities, are often the first to be pushed out when areas change. This is not a coincidence but deeply racist.
Over the next few days, traders and community members are coming together to resist. This kind of resistance depends on collective presence, we need people there.
If you can, come down, bring others, and share this with your networks!!
Let’s show up for Ridley Road.
High rents are destroying Hackney.
Working-class communities torn apart while the rich get richer.
That's why we're fighting for rent controls. Rent controls would stop the rents going up and keep families in their homes while we fight for the council homes we need.
Join the fight to cut the rent today. Join the London Renters Union.

Eviction resisted!
Dozens of tenants up at the crack of dawn to keep our neighbours in their home. The bailiffs and cops didn't stand a chance.
We won't let landlords, councils and developers force people out of our communities.
We must resist forced displacement and fight to win real control over our homes and communities.
