We the undersigned call upon Croydon Council to allow Jawher Ahmad Mohammed and Salam Hassan to continue to provide their Fruit and Vegetable Stall Service, a healthy amenity near East Croydon Station.
We the undesigned ask you Croydon Council to allow to allow Jawher Ahmad Mohammed and Salam Hassan to continue to provide their Fruit and Vegetable Stall Service, a healthy amenity near East Croydon Station.You have refused to grant planning permission claiming it would be "detrimental to the visual amenity of the street scene by reason of its bulk" and would create a hazard to pedestrians.
This ice cream van sized green van with it's colourful fruit and vegetables visually enhances the otherwise grey drab concrete street scene.
Unlike the tables and chairs of nearby cafes it is outside the main thouroughfare of commuter pedestrians. It is beside a tree, were it not there if you were to walk that route you would crash into a tree - it represents a health amenity not a hazard.

I used to work in Croydon and I got off at East Croydon to walk to work and I always stopped to get fruit form the stall for my lunch and there was always a queue. I would not have bothered if it was not there. For a town who is trying to encourage getting fit by opening gyms in the town centre it seems idiotic to take this stall away.

These men have decided to make the UK their home & this is the welcome they get when they try & do something good for themselves and others! They are bringing healthy affordable food to the heart of Croydon. They should be supported by the council (e.g. one of Croydon's business support initiatives) rather than be threatened with closure.

It's madness to try and turf off two hardworking guys who sell such healthy produce at reasonable prices. They should be encouraged, not villified. Let's keep the stall going!

Got some nice fruit and veg from here, and cheap to! Is there any information in the local papers (Advertiser/ Guardian etc) about it? A small article in one (or hopefully more)local papers would provide a good boost.

We should all be eating at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetable per day. This stall is very convenient for busy commuters to purchase them.

please help this fruit and vegetable stall to ocntinue running as it helps to bring a lcoser community together and shows what hard work these two people have been doing to establish it. It would be an extremely sad day if they are forced to close it.

Croydon Council shouldn't be afraid to admit that they are wrong on this one - they'll get a huge cheer of support when they do!
