I love this stand. It helped me post Covid in particular. Please lets make life easier for small businesses rather than harder.

I cannot see why the kiosk has to be removed every night. There is no reason why it cannot be left in place for the next day's trading.

I am a regular visitor to Wimbledon from Horsham West Sussex. Please do not insist on the kiosk being removed every night , please allow them some flexibility so that the business does not fail

I know how difficult it is to be a florist outside in all weathers. Council should help small businesses rather than make it more difficult

This is a wonderful merchant in the Village and there is no need to move the kiosk nightly.

Standard Council decision. Ruin the local community and rather than work for the community, try and rule it. The same people will likely grant AELTC permission to concrete over Wimbledon park golf course. We need a new way of governing, the current system is failing the majority.

The flower stall brings such a colourful display of positivity which enriches the Village. It must be allowed to stay.

This isn’t right. Let them keep their stand outdoors overnight, ridiculous to suddenly make them change this after so many years.

It is a absolute disgrace that the council are effectively trying to get rid of this stall. Are we not supposed to be a business friendly borough? This smacks of some jobsworth deciding to be unnecessarily difficult in sticking to the letter of the licence, rather than considering the public value and practicality of the demands. The council should recognise the value of Tom & Emma's stall to the local area, and have a bit of humanity.
As a central feature of Wimbledon Village, we cannot afford to lose the Wimbledon Village Flower Stall. This is just so wrong.

Tom's Flower stall is a beautiful and friendly family business which is at the heart of Wimbledon Village. Why Merton Council sees fit to make life difficult for them is beyond me - particularly in these trying times. So much for "Labour". Who exactly is going to benefit from them having to remove the kiosk at night? It won't be the residents. It won't be the other local businesses. It certainly won't be Tom and his family.
Seems like Merton Council are falling in line with all the rest of these councils in ruining their local area.

Tom and his team bring joy to the village with their wonderful array of flowers and great Christmas trees. It's not fair to bully yet another small independent business out of Wimbledon.
