Hondo Enterprise the Landlord of Brixton Market introduced recently increased service charge for the traders

We need to take steps to protect the ongoing viability of our business, our employees and customers during this crisis.

The disruption from Covid-19 has impacted on people’s ability and willingness to continue to shop and visit the market. The Footfall to our stores has significantly reduced and trading has been adverserly impacted

During this difficult time, it is important to have the support from our Landlord, as currently the footfall to the market is virtually minimal it is not understandable why Hondo Enterprises is increasing the service charge and you can image this is very difficult for small traders.

Therefore for this reason it is legitimate to get a discount on service charge until we resume to normal circumstances. During the lockdown most of the market staff been furloughed and not present. Reduced chemicals been used to clean the market. This lockdown period should

have no service charge at all.

We need to stay as viable business and we need the landlord to assist us. We propose a 50% discount for Rent from July – September 2020

We want to work together to ensure we can survive this crisis and our business is able to continue to pay rent and other costs in the future.

Reduce not increase service charge and rents!!!
