Sadly this is spot on.
Pity you haven’t voted in support of it in motions aimed at protecting it on its current footprint. The Darebin Greens stance towards saving the market has been abominable. Thankfully the likes of @CampbellGrove and @SamanthaRatnam have read the tea leaves. #savetheprestonmarket

The owners of Preston Market claim to care about the market, yet there are numerous empty stalls throughout. Why? High rents, no leases, and a callous management style, not to mention their desire to bulldoze the whole thing!

The Victorian planning minister has the power to intervene and compulsorily acquire the site for the state. Acquisition by the government would mean that development could be undertaken in the interests of genuine community need. #saveprestonmarket
Today Hands Around Preston Market was HUGE! The community is galvanized to hold the State Government to its recent promises and ensure that Preston Market and the traders are here to stay! COMMUNITY POWER! #thepeoplesmarket #saveprestonmarket

The momentum behind the campaign to save the Preston Market is growing and events like this are gonna be how we bring it home. If you’re free, head down tomorrow — and just think how we’ll celebrate when we know we’ve saved the market from billionaire developers. ✊😎🚩

The Planning Minister has announce the planning controls over Preston Market, and at first glance it is looking extremely positive. This would never ever have happened without strong coordinated community action! premier.vic.gov.au/planning-…

We will post a more details but as far as we can tell the developers will not be able to demolish the market. However the developers have not revoked their threats to the traders, and so we still need as many people as possible at Hands Around Preston Market!
