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.

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
