On the morning of March 6, 2024, a hardworking man arrived at his stall in the weekly market in Saxmundham, UK. Within half an hour of his arrival, he received two letters from the town council. The first letter discussed a restructure of the market; the second was addressed directly to him stating that they could no longer support his pick n mix sweets stall and asked him to vacate by March 27th, 2024.

This man is not just any vendor - he is my father. His sweet stall has been a staple at this market for years and has brought joy to countless community members. This decision by the town council not only affects my father but also impacts our community's sense of tradition and loyalty.

The local support for my father's business on social media platforms like Facebook has been overwhelming. It is clear that many residents value what they have in their weekly market - including my dad's pick n mix sweets stall.

We believe that hard work should be rewarded rather than penalised and that changes should be made with consideration for those who have loyally served our community over time.

Therefore, we call upon Saxmundham Town Council to reconsider their decision regarding this beloved sweet stall. Let us preserve what makes our weekly market special – its diversity and its commitment to local vendors who serve with dedication week after week.

Please sign this petition if you agree that loyalty should be prioritized over restructuring plans which disregard long-standing traditions within our community.
