Completely agree. I also believe that improving signage between the town centre and the Horniman (and vice versa would help).

The FH Society expressed our concerns (about taking away footfall from the town centre) to the Horniman months ago, well before the market was set up. We, and others continue to have discussions with all involved, but our position is slightly compromised by the fact that we run our own market once a month - which I hope everybody will support this Sunday.

Personally I really like the Horniman Market, it is a terrific venue and has some great traders. I have some ideas about how the balance can be adjusted but I'm afraid I don't want to post all my thoughts on the subject on the forum at the moment. My wife and I have been discussing little else for months now so we do have a few ideas about how things can develop.

I'm very happy to speak to anybody about some of our ideas regarding how things can be improved for everybody. Feel free to discuss it at the FH Soc Food Fair this Sunday where I will be all day.
