Public Survey To Get Local Views On Flower Market
Launch delayed until later this year due to Covid-19 crisis
Columbia Road Flower Market
|
The launch of the proposed Sunday morning flower market for Chiswick has had to be rescheduled given the current health crisis, but the organisers are hopeful that it can still start later this year, possibly in September.
To that end, they have organised a survey to get public opinion on the market and see what residents would like.
They'd like to know what hours and products people would like to see in the market, and you can let them know here.
Since the survey was launched they have had nearly 100 responses, and it seems there is a great deal of local interest in the project.
The market is to be based in the car-park outside the George IV pub, a site that was formerly the old Chiswick Market.
The vision of the organisers is that it can be the 'Columbia Road flower market of west London'.
Other initiatives being discussed to revitalise the High Road, include a vintage clothing market, a vegan food market and a tenants & landlords club.
It is hoped that an initiative such as flower-market would attract shoppers and visitors to the High Road which would then have a 'spin off' effect for local shops, cafes and restaurants.
