Dear Council Members I am writing to express my concerns and file a formal complaint regarding a street business operating from a van in my neighborhood. As a resident of Hackney council, I have observed several issues related to this business that are affecting the safety and accessibility of our community. The specific problems I would like to highlight include: 1. Blocking of Pedestrian Pathways: The van-based business frequently obstructs the pedestrian pathways, making it difficult for individuals like myself, who have disabilities, to navigate the area safely. 2. Safety Concerns: The presence of the van on the footpath poses safety risks to pedestrians, especially during busy hours when it can be challenging to see oncoming traffic. 3. Noise and Disturbance: The business generates noise and disturbances that disrupt the peace and tranquility of our neighborhood. I understand that businesses play a vital role in our community, but I believe it is essential for them to operate within the bounds of local regulations and ensure the safety and convenience of all residents. I kindly request that the local council investigate this matter and take appropriate action to address the issues raised. This may involve reviewing the permissions granted to this business or enforcing regulations to ensure they do not disrupt pedestrian access and safety. I appreciate your attention to this matter and your efforts in maintaining the quality of life in our neighborhood. Please keep me informed of any actions taken in response to this complaint. Thank you for your prompt attention to this concern. Sincerely,
