In the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, a debate has been raging over the future of one of London's oldest markets.

The 109-year-old Shepherd's Bush Market is owned by real estate company, Yoo Capital, which has plans to build new stalls, shops and an eight storey office building on the site.

Some market traders support the scheme, citing redevelopment as the solution to years of neglect and falling trade.

But others, including campaigners from group 'Protect Shepherd's Bush Market', say redeveloping the site would destroy its character and diversity. Last week, 33 traders submitted a letter to the council opposing the plan, adding that it would lead to "big rent increases which would push traders out of the market".

So what's the future of Shepherd's Bush Market? And could it, as the campaigners say, really be under threat?
