Give pat a blue badge for goodness sake. If you take his stall away from him, will probably be the end of him. Have some heart.

Give him a disabled badge so he can park closer and let him stay. Despicable treatment to a well known well loved and hard working family man. LET HIM STAY!!!!!

As usual the council(s) making a blinkered decision without looking at the effects of their actions. Seen it so many times with so many councils but doesn’t surprise me. Remember Mears from many many years ago. Born in Brighton in 1956 and parents always shopped there. Let him keep on working with a sensible decision....oh wait it the council!

Leave this traditional stall where it is. That family has served us for donkeys years.

Diabolical decision,the Market without the Mears name,in Brighton is not a market.

Think this is outrageous the poor bloke he’s clearly had some trouble with his health and to do this to someone that age and who has been part off the open market for so many years it’s disgusting the council should be ashamed off them selfs hope he gets to stay would be such a shame if not

Remember his name from years ago when my Nan shopped there. Perhaps the council should arrange disabled parking for him. Let him stay

This man is elderly and this is his life, he has a medical condition so allow him to park there and continue trading. He is doing no wrong except making a living. He is not sponging off society like so many people are! Leave him alone to work whatever years he has left. The council should concentrate on people that can work that choose not too and claim benefits. 100% support for this guy.

Let him stay. Open market was supposedly redeveloped to be inclusive of existing business. Have heard rumours to the contrary lately that go against the oiriginal ethos and am wondering if this eviction is related?

This is a sledgehammer to crack a walnut, and not a walnut that needed cracking in the first place. If Pat is disabled to the extent that at his age he needs to park close to his business, then the market should accommodate his exceptional need.
