Longer Shopping Hours & Later Trading Hours in Tower Hamlets

Brick Lane Sunday Market. Tower Hamlets Council are pressuring the Traders at Brick Lane Market to close at 4pm on Sundays. This is impractical and unwanted. Brick Lane, Cheshire street, Bacon street and Sclater street are still busy with people at this time, particularly in the summer months when locals and tourists visit the market.

We propose 5.30pm as a closing time, when the area is less busy with pedestrian traffic. This change would be welcomed by both the Traders and the public. Please sign this petition if you would like the market to remain open until 5.30pm.
