Many shoppers were from outside Newham so discussions tended to be about national rather than local political issues.
Our MP Lyn Brown (out of picture) was visiting the local shops and businesses on the “West Ham” side of the Road.
Afterwards we sent canvass teams to the local wards while some of us went off to the “Beat the BNP” Day of Action in Barking & Dagenham (see next-ish post).

Should Labour should be trusted with Queens Market. Your Labour colleagues voted in favour of turning this market into an ugly 31storey block and shops.
They have already driven up the rents of stall holders to drive them out.
Robin Wales keeps saying you don't want the Tories, but it was a Tory mayor that saved Queens Market.
There may be a truce over the market, but wait until after the election.
I don't think any one disagrees the market needs refurbishing, but the market is not safe in the hands of Robin Wales or St. Modwens (the crapy regeneration company hired by Newham).
Hi anon
What a load of rubbish.
There has been genuine disagreement in the past about the best way forward but nearly everyone wants the best for the market - except for people like you who delight in making pretty and snide political capital out of an important and complex community issue.
If there is a "truce" may it long continue.
