About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

Our Petition: “We the undersigned call on the Mayor of Tower Hamlets to scrap proposals to close Rushmead One Stop Shop in Bethnal Green.”

Also, when you add your name, our petition letter will be sent directly to the Mayor in your name.

SAVE OUR ONE STOP SHOP

Rushmead One Stop Shop is a place that residents can get easy access to a wide variety of Council services – everything thing from sorting out a parking permit, to finding out about benefits or enquiring about help for an elderly relative. Rushmead is particularly valuable as it’s the only One Stop Shop to be open on a Saturday.

If the Independent Mayor’s proposals happen, Bethnal Green residents will have to trek to Bow, or right down to Commercial Road to access council and housing services. These remaining stores will also be busier so we can expect queues to grow.

The reckless economic policies of the Tory-led government are pushing prices and rents up - now is the worst time for the Mayor of Tower Hamlets to be cutting one of the only places for people to get advice and access to council services that may help.

Thanks,

John

Keep Rushmead One Stop Shop open

Dear Mayor,

I am very concerned about your proposal to close the Rushmead One Stop Shop in Bethnal Green.

The shop is vital for our community as a place where residents can get easy access to a wide variety of Council services.

If you close it, many elderly and vulnerable people will have to trek to Bow, or right down to Commercial Road to access council and housing services.

This is completely unacceptable.

I have signed a petition against this closure and I urge you to drop this proposal immediately.

Yours sincerely,

[Your name]
