Thanks tfc


I have to ask a very cynical question, but


in order to save our local shops we need to shop locally, therefore why are we not holding the christmas market in the heart of lordship lane so that it encourages people to visit the market and also shop on lordship lane. by holding it away from our main shopping area are you not encouraging people away from our local shops at at time they need the spend the most ?


Just a thought but wouldn't it be better to work with rather then against the interests of the local traders ?

I would add to ArtfulDogger's comment that spending Southwark Council's money on promoting an already successful area may not be the best use of public funds. Most local traders would prefer a permanent reduction in business rates to a one off - and as AD has pointed out, poorly targeted effort.

I?m sure it probably has more to do with Dulwich Park being an open public area with the facilities and space available to host a market and lordship lane being a busy crowed high street and thoroughfare.


Goose Green would be an option to bring people to LL but things like parking and access are probably much easier in Dulwich Park.

    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
