I can fully understand why some of the stall holders are voicing concerns as it has divided the locals and I can only think their concerns will increase if the talk of setting up another farmers market/food market in Blythe hill or just by Honor Oak station takes off.

Hopefully if that one goes get off the ground it will learn some lessons from the Horniman experience and engage a little closer with the local food businesses to avoid the bad feeling.

In any event given the mix of stuff at the horniman market I can't really see why the organisers of that market can't simply allow the local food retailers a stall at the market and then there can be no concerns. I am sure in return they may be able to provide useful advertising for the market around Forest Hill.

If the market is bringing additional footfall to the area why should it not benefit the area - residents and retailers alike?
