The closure of the indoor market in east London's Ridley Road Shopping Village is causing uncertainty for traders who have spent decades building their livelihoods there. The landlord, Larochette Real Estate, stated the closure was to "draw a clear line under historic challenges" and traders "not involved in antisocial behaviour" will be able to reappear and given temporary sites. The concerns were raised by the landlord, who stated that parts of the building had become derelict and were contributing to loss of trade and violent behaviour.
