GUARDIANS OF THE ARCHES
Please sign this letter to Chris Grayling – The Secretary of State for Transport to help us stop the sale of the arches and urge him to meet with tenants to discuss how the arches should be owned and managed.
The EETG and our partners the New Economics Foundation have been supporting our members who are also tenants in arches to set up a national tenants association for the thousands of arches up and down the country. Guardians of the Arches was first established by Derec Hickman and his family the Chu’s of Chu’s Garage fame. When Wife and Husband Nhi Chu and Derec started to talk to other tenants along Mentmore Terrace in London Fields they began to realise that the small business furnishing these historic arches were more powerful when they worked together and shared information.
Please stay posted with this campaign via the Guardians of the Arches Social Media:
