Save Potato Lady from Local Gov Red Tape
The Issue
"The future of a long-established jacket potato stall in Derby could be under threat after its owner has claimed he has been told to move from his spot - despite being there for at least eight years. Ram Asra is now deeply worried about what his future holds following conversations with Derby City Council officers about his pitch on St Peter’s Street.
Mr Asra has owned the “Potato Lady” stall for almost 20 years, serving thousands of customers during his time on the busy city centre high street. But it is said the stall has served the people of Derby for around 40 years in total."

This is the latest episode in a series of ambiguous changes Derby City Council is making to the city centre; this should not come at the cost of hardworking local businesses.
Sign the petition to support this local business in Derby from excessive government encroachment and save this kind business owner from going bust.
