Add your name to our petition to Save Chinatown from demolition. Developer Rosewheel Ltd is taking action to evict long-established businesses in the eastern part of London Chinatown to make way for a shopping mall. After the redevlopment, rents could go up by 500% making it impossible for the current tenants to return. This would open the floodgates for all other rents in London Chinatown to rise, threatening to force out all remaining Chinese shops.
Min Quan is collecting signatures of people who object to the redevelopment. We will then present the petition to Westminster Council and the Greater London Authority.
By signing this online petition, you confirm your objection to any planning application for redevelopment of Sandringham Newport Court, and you call upon Westminster Council to preserve the character and social stability of the Chinatown community.
I honestly never thought this would reach one hundred signatures when I first started it. It is humbling to see so many people care about our shops and neighbors. This is entirely down to the community showing up for each other.

My parents have lived here for years. Do not kick them out for a shopping center nobody asked for.

Ridiculous to think 500% rent hikes are fair. Its just pure greed and will destroy a huge part of our culture.

So sad to see all these local shops disappearing. Its all just becoming the same big brands everywhere you look.
