For over 30 years, the Market Village, formerly known as Inshops, has been a cornerstone of our community in Stratford. It's a place where local businesses have thrived and where residents have found products that cater to their unique needs. This market has been around even before the Westfield Shopping Centre came into existence. However, due to the company directors going into administration without any prior notice given to traders about closure, we have ceased trading.

The abrupt closure of Market Village not only affects the livelihoods of these traders but also disrupts a piece of our local history and culture that we hold dear. The impact is far-reaching with numerous viable businesses now left in limbo.

We are calling on you – our fellow citizens – to help us petition Unex to reopen Stratford Market Village and allow for the continuation of trading at Market Village so that it can remain an integral part of Stratford's vibrant community fabric.

Your support is crucial at this juncture - every signature counts towards preserving a piece of our shared history while supporting local businesses who contribute significantly towards Stratford's economy.

Please sign this petition today and urge Unex to reopen Market Village!
