"Apart from damaging hospitality businesses at a time when we really need help, the removal of pavement and chairs on Poyser Street just doesn't make sense. Together we've turned a road of disused car mechanics into a thriving hub of cultural and eating spots, one that the whole community - and beyond - can enjoy."
"This decision has been made at a time when the hospitality industry is facing increasing financial pressures - Tower Hamlets is raising its business rates by 68.2% - and it flies in the face of the Mayor's drive to support al fresco dining with his Summer Streets fund."
Tower Hamlets Council has mandated the removal of outdoor tables and chairs on Poyser Street, jeopardizing the success of local businesses like De Nadas Empanadas and Rogue Sarnies. This decision comes amid rising business rates and contradicts the Mayor's initiative to promote al fresco dining. Business owners argue that the vibrant atmosphere created on the street is essential for community enjoyment. A petition has been launched to urge the council to reconsider and support the thriving cultural hub.
