Len gives an impassioned case for working together “The pressure that was put on me was relentless, but through us working together, I’ve stayed in Hackney. Once I became a member and met other businesses I gained comfort... and that strength is in me now to keep fighting”

‘Desperate situation’: Artists join forces to campaign against eviction of Hackney mechanic #Hackney #SmallBusiness #rent EETG Hazel Sheffield hackneycitizen.co.uk/2024/10/11/art…

Thank you Noah Vickers + all our members & supporters for drawing attention to our campaign! When you #StandWithLen you stand up for the social value and all Londoners! That is the power of solidarity. As Leonard Maloney says "Never, ever give up!" bit.ly/4017V5G

We're outside City Hall to #singwithlen and tell Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan that we stand together with Len Jc motors ldm after his untenable rent hikes. Together we're stronger - Len's business given #socialvalue to London for years, and the #community stands with him. #standbylen

Extraordinary protest outside City Hall as east London mechanic Len Maloney urges the mayor to “stand by him” and not allow a TfL subsidiary to evict him from his garage (as he owes £112k in rent arrears following steep rent rises some years ago). No sign of the mayor so far.

My story on his situation last month: standard.co.uk/news/london/jc…

THANK YOU EAST LONDON! “Thank you, you are all heroes! I could not have cleared the arch without all your help. Our community is much stronger and more determined because of my eviction yesterday. The work starts now!”  eastendtradesguild.org.uk/thank-you-east…

“We’ve got to sort this out!” Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. We were pleased to make progress at #PQT London Assembly on CLT element of our Manifesto & to hear from Elly Baker that our contributions to the Social Value investigation for Planning & Regen Committee are also bearing fruit. 💪

8 MONTHS EMPTY! CLT meeting in 7 days with Mayor of Hackney Howard Dawber Sem Moema AM 🌹🐝💪🏾 sites must compensate for loss of social value caused by the eviction of Leonard Maloney. Overgrown + full of litter, going for 92k this TfL arch a monument to broken trust & wasted potential.
