Victorian Socialists are calling on all our members and supporters in the North to support the local campaign: Save The Preston Market Action Group by helping to letterbox for a community forum organised and hosted by STPMAG.
Meet up with other volunteers for a short briefing, to collect materials and maps before heading off in pairs or small groups to put as many flyers in letterboxes in the local area as we can. Or organise to letterbox independently in your own time by filling in this form: https://tinyurl.com/mwefevpm
This long standing community campaign is at something of a crossroads. Community Pressure has forced the government to come out and say they will protect the market. This is an important step forward. However it’s not yet clear exactly what this protection amounts to.
Meanwhile the developers are on the offensive, with a cynical and misleading PR campaign “Save the traders” and “Build the Market” This is their plan to demolish the market, replace it with a smaller shopping mall and crowd apartment buildings around it.
Victorian Socialists stand with Save The Preston Market Action Group in campaigning to protect community need in the face of developer greed. This market is a valuable community asset and needs to be brought into public hands to protect it for future generations.
The STPMAG event we will be helping to advertise is an urgent town hall meeting “What’s next for Preston Market”
