After having seen the other thread about this started by Siduhe, I emailed the officer concerned to clarify whether the survey posted on the Southwark website about the extension constitutes the "consultation" or whether those living nearby will be contacted for their views. Will post again if / when I get a reply. AM - I'm guessing you must live close by to have received a letter so maybe they're on their way?

The proposed changes are to close a little more if North Cross Road on Saturday market says - section between Nuffield and Archdale.


DilwichFox, I really don't think this will have any impact on your road or road end so I'd be horrified if council officers spent money writing to you. Which doesn't stop you from responding to the consultation.

James, I think Dulwich Fox lives nearer to NCR than I do. I got a letter. As they (the council) obviously want this to happen, perhaps they are only writing to people who don't live close to the road and will have no objection. It's more money for the council I presume.

James, I think you are being optimistic about it not affecting Foxy's road - the additional parking spaces lost and the increased number of traders parking will inevitably put even greater pressure on parking on all the roads off North Cross and it's already pretty intense especially on Saturdays.


Edited to add that I live just off North cross and haven't received a letter or seen a sign.

Hopefully it will make the market better than it is already (it can't get any worse), in comparison to most in the area - brockley, crystal palace, herne hill etc it's an embarrassment especially the food offering, extending it to more of the same would be a travesty. Don't even get me started on those breakfast burritos and scotch eggs *hangs head in shame*

I like those scotch eggs!


Am I wrong to?!

I got a letter yesterday. I live in a road off NCR, but not one which would be closed off. The same road as DulwichFox, in fact :)


I support the proposed changes even if there are more cars parked in my road. I really like living so close to the Saturday market.


The letter says that it is proposed to make about 20 more stalls (in addition to the existing 30).


There will be a greater variety of businesses, a focal point for community groups and charities, and creative activities and performances.


I think all this sounds great!


JW, the letters were just addressed to "The Resident" at each address, so is it possible that somebody else has opened the letter to your address?


ETA: "The closing date for receiving views from anyone who lives, works (at) or visits the market is Tuesday 31 January 2017".

Thanks for that. They'll have a load of qualitative data to try to analyse, won't they?


I don't understand what this means, can anybody enlighten me?


" We are considering releasing five existing parking bays on Fridays, on Northcross Road. Do you think this is a good idea? "


What does "releasing" mean? That they are going to allow parking in the bays on Fridays when they previously didn't, or that they are not going to allow parking in the bays on Fridays when they previously did?

They probably just mark you down as an objector and save the postage.

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
