Shepherds bush market was my first job aged 13-15. Times were hard 35 years ago and I had to work. We frequented this market travelling from Old Southall for many years. SM is an icon. There are businesses that have been there for many years. They pay council tax. Why does this place have to be a cash cow for the local council. Are they not getting enough rom Westfields??? End the row and leave us shoppers and the market alone

Born and bred in Shepherd's Bush, I love the market and the shops on Goldhawk Road. What is happening here is shocking and awful. In what ways can local residents help?

I was born in Chiswick, educated in Hammersmith and now live in Shepherds Bush. This stretch of shops are a vital part of my community. The Who ate at the famous Pie shop and the fabric shops and market provide goods not only to locals but to a huge national and international consumer group. We have enough 'luxury' properties already. Enough!

As a kid I was brought up on Pie mash, and all through my adulthood I eaten it when ever I get the chance, I have used this place to so many times It's been a comfort knowing that it's still there.

I have eaten there as man and boy. What right has anyone got to simply destroy this piece of history?

Why destroy part of our heritage and history for another block of flats? There must be numerous other places to build instead of demolishing thriving business premises...shame on the thoughtless councillors.

I am a regular user of A Cookes Pie&mash also Zippys diner these are Victorian buildings all of this parade, they should be listed buildings. All the former Tory council was to sell to private company's for profit even council property. That being the former Laundry in Pennard Road, all they ever wanted to do was build private apartments for overseas oligarchs to get their money and not worry about the market at all. The market would be an upmarket well out of the reach of all of us. But now that Labour have got back into council they have said that they will stop all of this lets hope so????

Please don't do this. Goldhawk Road is a wonderful place to do my fabric shopping. Don't rob these traders of their premises or their customers of all the convenience of having all the fabric shops on one road. Just don't do it!
