Re: Sydenham Farmers Market
Sundays would be good because we already have the Horniman and CP Markets on Sat. Is it possible to do stalls and things in front of/at the side of the Greyhound? Much more visibility and there's lots of space there.
Re: Sydenham Farmers Market
There's a poll for you to fill in too.
I must say it sounds like a nice idea, but realistically it's a lot farther away from me than the old market, and I didn't exactly get to that one very often, so I'm not sure I'd visit very often. I could see a site somewhere nearer the railway station possibly bringing people in from further afield.

Re: Sydenham Farmers Market
A farmers' market would be brilliant for Sydenham. The Crystal Palace Saturday market in Haynes Lane would serve as a good model. It's tucked away, but locals know it's there.
Also, the old Co-op would make a great indoor market. Those looking to open a business could rent a stall and not have all the costs associated with renting a high street shop. Peckham has a couple of indoor markets, and they seem to work.

Re: Sydenham Farmers Market
A farmers market would be brilliant, and I think would attract more custom than the current market stalls. They seem to focus on gifts and luxuries which are absolutely lovely, but expensive for everyday use. Great at Christmas etc, but bound to struggle in the local economy.
It also seems a good idea for the pub to attract custom, and a Sunday morning market could do well for them in attracting people for lunch. If a couple of stalls were in front of the pub, it would signpost the main market in the rear carpark. In all, I hope they go for it.
On the subject of indoor markets, it would be a great use for the old sorting office. Is it being used, or is it still mothballed? It is a crying shame that such an iconic local landmark isn't being used or appreciated.
