NTIA Launch Campaign to Save Boxpark Shoreditch

The NTIA have launched a campaign today (25/07/24) to save Boxpark Shoreditch.

A cornerstone of Shoreditch’s vibrant community, Boxpark Shoreditch is facing an uncertain future.

Michael Kill, CEO of the Night Time Industries Association, has spoken out on this pressing issue: “Boxpark Shoreditch exemplifies the exact issue faced across the country with red tape and restrictive regulatory controls stalling business investment. This has to stop. People are fed up. The new Government has made an amazing start, and I call on them to reach into the local authority and invigorate the local planning department and Hackney Council to find a solution.”

Mark Laurie, Stakeholder Director at NCASS said ” We are calling on Hackney Council to review their decision and offer a reprieve to the original and iconic Boxpark Shoreditch. The decision as it stands will likely lead to the site being left derelict for a minimum of six months and potentially years to come while awaiting development. This vibrant community hub which has helped to launch countless micro businesses and spread the street food revolution across the capital will become an empty eyesore attracting anti social behaviour. This doesn’t need to happen, we would encourage all involved to reconsider and protect the businesses and support the people and communities who hold this place dear to them.”
