Support Argun Stationers against unlawful lease termination

If you want to keep the high street alive, shops like Argun Stationers need to be retained and supported. This shop is excellent providing printing services as well as a wide range of retail stationary products for local people.

This is an important local resource and offers a unique and personal service, binding documents and printing posters to a high standard and offering a wide selection of art materials and stationary.

This shop in Hackney has always had anything I have wanted. Their stock is so great….never been let down by them. Always helpful and knowledgeable. Argument… please stay where you are.

We used Argun regularly for our whole family. It is a staple of the community.

Great place, we need them!

A cornerstone of a business in the local area

Save this shop!

Cruel

I would like the shop to stay at that spot! I’m regular customer and I like to shop from there!

Protect small businesses and local heritage

Pls keep Argun. Fantastic local shop

I do not agree with the closure of this independent store

33 years of business and 8 year lease we want to keep our art shop!!

This is a much needed part of our community! Ask us what we want in our community!

Please don’t destroy our small businesses!! They are highly respected and well-used shop. Disgraceful. We need to save our local businesses

My favourite stationers!!

I use Argun regularly, both for my business and personal use. It has been a stalwart for the 20 years that I've lived in the area

I have loved and enjoyed working with the team, service and supplies at Argun Stationers for several decades. This is catastrophic a catastrophic decision by the council. They are a keystone business in the Hackney ecosystem

Stop closing down vaulable and traditional Hackney shops. Thanx

I’ve been a loyal Argun customer for 28 years. Aside from the excellent customer service and vast range of stationery and gifts, the key to its success is its location. The footfall at the current site simply can’t be replicated elsewhere. That Hackney Council and the leaseholders would treat a thriving local business so detrimentally is shocking. So the plan is to create a new nightlife destination at Bohemia Place? Surely there are enough arches without also seizing the Argun site, especially given its position fronting onto Mare Street/Narrowway. Just looking at the ‘fashion zone’ eyesore on Morning Lane should be a salutary lesson in the powers-that-be trying to engineer what’s ‘hot’ in the world of fashion and entertainment. All this while threatening the incredibly popular and genuinely ‘organically’ successful music venue round the corner, the MOTH Club. Hackney’s rich culture derives from grassroots talent and creativity, not top-down imposition. For town centres to thrive, they need a range of shops, services and venues. Surely, with their established customer base, Argun and the MOTH Club are anchor points drawing in customers to Hackney Central. They are existing assets. Don’t mess with what is already working.
