The market is great - especially the fruit and veg. As someone who doesn't shop as much in forest hill (am in hop), it has encouraged and reminded me to pop over to the other side of the tracks! from my perspective ocado and Sainsburys are the losers!

The market seems to be going down incredibly well. The impact on local business is not good and I am amazed that people cant be bothered to walk a very small distance! However isnt it better to address this by working out how to make them work together? For example - would it be possible to find out how to get more local stalls, including sweets, to be part of the market? If they are currently not allowed is there a way to appeal? It would be a shame to cancel something that people are obviously enjoying that is bringing people to the area that might otherwise go elsewhere.
