The market is the problem... Most markets operate onto the road.

They got the road closed off to traffic but continue trading onto the pavement.

That would cause serious traffic problems for Fellbrig and Ulverscroft roads,

Whilst Fellbrigg has cut throughs to Lordship Lane, Ulverscroft has no cut throughs.

Both roads are jammed on market days meaning imposible for cars to turn round.

Do you expect residents to reverse 350 mtres to get out.

Despite the popularity of the market, it seems to me rare for all the current stall-holders with allocated spaces to actually turn up on a Saturday. Though more will turn up in the run up to Christmas, often the number of stalls is very much depleted so I think attracting stall-holders for a larger market will be difficult.

The new fence is outside the shop next to Sweet Sanctuary.


It has builders in at the moment.

I agree.


Sometimes there are very few stalls there at all.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
