Brixton market traders protest against the closure of the car park caused by Tesco and Lambeth Council’s plans.<\/p>\n

\"Brixton<\/p>\n

A campaign website<\/a> has been set up to protest against the proposals:<\/p>\n

\n
Join the campaign to stop Tesco and Lambeth Council destroying local trade in Brixton.<\/strong><\/div>\n
How do you carry a sack of rice and a big can of oil home from the market without a car? Brixton has been suffering for years with too little parking and too many wardens, threatening the ethnic and economic diversity of Brixton as we know it.<\/div>\n
Now Lambeth Council think Brixton Market is the easy option and are rolling over to Tesco\u2019s demands to take OUR carpark!<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The campaign has also got the\u00a0full support from the Friends of Brixton market<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Friends of Brixton Market vehemently oppose Lambeth Council’s decision to allow Tesco to apply to build a temporary ice rink on Pope’s Road carpark, allowing Tesco to try to wriggle out of their existing agreement – because Tesco – who made \u00a33bn profit in 2009 – say they can no longer afford to pursue that agreement.<\/p>\n

Instead Lambeth is now setting about spinning the situation as a positive for Brixton, when traders are seeing their business decline and the market continues to suffer the effects of Lambeth’s neglect of the Pope’s Road carpark.<\/p>\n

\"don't<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>We urge you to oppose this damaging decision too when Tesco send in their application to the Planning Department at Lambeth. See\u00a0www.donticebrixtonmarket.org<\/a> for more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
