THE owner of Castle Street's new orangery-style stalls and kiosks says he is attempting to bring back a traditional fruit and vegetable stall to the site, but has so far failed to find a retailer. Terence Lyons was replying to criticism from Castle Street resident and former Waverley Council leader Gillian Ferguson, who has said she is disappointed by both the content and appearance of the units, which are currenly occupied by a flower seller, a delicatessen and, temporarily, a clothes seller. Miss Ferguson was among guests at a launch event for the development attended by the Mayors of Waverley and Farnham. While there, she told The Herald: "This isn't what we gave planning permission for," adding that the planners had been told the fruit and veg seller from the old market site would have the kiosk on the street corner. "Loads of people have complained that all we have is a flower seller." Suggesting that changes should be made, Miss Ferguson explained: "I'm so disappointed by the whole scheme, which doesn't look anything like the drawing we saw. They're much darker and with less glass. "They don't look like orangeries. It's not a market any more, they're just shops." Mr Lyons, however, commented that he was "thrilled to bits" with the way the kiosks had turned out. "The feedback has been absolutely fantastic," he said, adding that negative comments had been very few. He referred to a letter he had received from the Mayor of Farnham, Carole Cockburn, in which she said "the organgeries look particularly splendid". Mr Lyons said that after obtaining planning consent in August 2006 he had actually reduced the size of the units to give more space between them and incorporated more glass than in the originally approved design. He agreed that the lack of a greengrocery stall so far had disappointed a lot of people. "It remains my objective to maintain an overall market use to the site and for that to include fruit and veg. I went as far as to put the fruit and veg sign on the lower kiosk," he stressed. Mr Lyons said it was unfortunate that the person originally lined up to operate the stall had not been able to take on running it. "It is not something that I have in any way dropped or ignored. Along with flowers, that kind of use is highly decorative as well as functional. It has always been important to have a colourful vibrancy to that site. "All I can do is to try to use my efforts to incorporate it as soon as I can."
