I RECENTLY discovered that the local pie and mash on London Road has been closed which is a great shame for all its customers.

However, I believe that there still should be a pie and mash shop in the Barking area as it always served good affordable food and drinks for the local population.

Therefore, if any people in the area want to set up a pie and mash shop then they ought to be given support by the local council as these shops are good for keeping the 'areas' own character.
