"I think something fundamentally unfair has been done to us, and something fundamentally unfair has been done to our customers. The City should be given a chance to really step back and think about it, and I think the lawyer's letter will help them to do that. What I believe happened is this whole process was done quickly, by a small group of people, without proper oversight and reflection."
"The pair, who run the cafes at Parliament Hill Lido and Queen's Park, as well as one in Highgate Wood, which could also change hands, have been asked to leave by February 2. A petition set up by the Kentish Town couple to stop the handover has had more than 15,000 signatures, while a crowdfunder to raise money for legal representation raised more than 5,500."
Patrick Matthews and Emma Fernandez run two of four independent cafes around Hampstead Heath and face eviction as their sites are due to be handed to Daisy Green. Lawyers for the couple have written to the City of London Corporation requesting details of the due diligence and selection process. The couple raised concerns about Davis Coffer Lyons, the firm that helped secure the new tenant and previously assisted Daisy Green in Clapham. The handover has prompted a petition with over 15,000 signatures and a crowdfund that has raised more than £5,500.
