How are the current fruit and vegetable traders going to survive this? It’s very hard for them to trade from any other stall than where they are now

This plan for a foodie village is short sighted. We actually need more outdoor traders that sell affordable fruit and vegetables, which is what people most need. Not over prized fast food by a private company.
