Buy Back Brixton
Stand with us against private equity developers buying out Brixton Market before Monday 22nd June.
Why is this important?
Brixton Market as we know it could disappear.
Brixton’s markets are the heart of our community. For decades, they have acted as hubs for independent businesses. These businesses have brought together people, cultures and heritage and driven Brixton's local economy.
But, private equity developers are now trying to buy Brixton Village and Market Row. This could mean the evicting of our local independent traders, hiked rents, and Brixton Market filled with faceless multinational chains.
We have been working on an counter-bid to compete with these traders, but our corporate sale window has been narrowed from 6 months to just days, with bidding now ending on Monday, 22nd June. But we are fighting back, and we need your help!
Local traders from the market are launching an emergency community counter-bid to bring the market into community ownership.
