Locals have highlighted the importance of the beer mile to the area, which is a big draw to young, trendy families and tourists alike.
Stella Creasy, the Labour MP for Walthamstow, said about the situation: 'Walthamstow beer mile has rightly become a much loved and visited attraction so I do understand the concern about the future of businesses there in the light of recent events including the sad closure of the Wild Card brewery.'
However, the council is allegedly facing a multi-million pound budget 'black hole', and critics are arguing that it is evicting local businesses to recoup unpaid rent - some of it stemming from debts during the pandemic.
A notice was also tacked onto the Ravenswood site, stating that the lease had ended - and there's concerns that other local businesses could follow suit.
