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.

    • We needed a bedroom ceiling to be replastered, complicated by the layer of Artex applied by the previous owners.  We applied a primer (Blue Grit) and arranged for John to do the rest. There was a minor problem with the ceiling in one area, which John handled with his usual skill. Great results as always.  John's a great character, and a superb plasterer - experienced, knowledgeable and conscientious. Highly recommended.
    • Back on topic (!),  just a reminder that the new incarnation of the ED Forum drinks will be in The Palmerston TOMORROW Wednesday 11 June from 7pm. Turn immediately left as you come in by the main  Lordship Lane entrance, and we will be in the area there. Hope that at least a few of you will be up for getting to know some of your fellow forum members in real life!
    • For the past 15 years, I’ve been subjected to persistent passive-aggressive bullying and harassment by my upstairs neighbours. Their behaviour has included tampering with my plants, opening bin bags and questioning me about their contents, and interfering with misdelivered post — some of which appeared to have been opened. There has also been consistent noise disruption, like loud door banging and deliberately dropping heavy objects. They often laugh or stare at me when I’m in the garden, creating a constant sense of intimidation. Much of their conduct is subtle and hard to prove, often falling into a grey area that could easily be dismissed as paranoia, which makes it even more distressing. In the early years, I sometimes responded, but I realised this only seemed to encourage them. Since then, I’ve tried to remain calm and avoid confrontation — but unfortunately, this seems to have escalated things. After the recent death of a close family member, they left a condolence note, which at first seemed kind — but it came with a request to cut back my laurel bush, which I maintain for privacy, as I often feel watched in my own garden. The timing and nature of the request felt inappropriate. Still, I arranged for a gardening service and slightly reduced the laurel, though likely not as much as they wanted. Shortly after, one neighbour commented on how lovely one of my potted plants looked — which struck me as unusual, since we’ve barely spoken in years. Just days later, they told me the same plant looked like it was dying and asked if they should water it. Soon after, it rapidly turned yellow, brittle, and died — in a way that looked clearly unnatural. From photos, it appears the plant was poisoned, likely with a chemical weed killer. Access to that area is restricted — it’s behind a locked front gate monitored by a Smart CCTV camera. No one else had access, and it would be very difficult for someone to climb over the wall unnoticed. Given the timing and condition of the plant, I strongly suspect it was deliberately poisoned. I brought this up in a chat with my next-door neighbours, and they revealed they’d lost three trees along the same fence line over the past few months. One of them had previously been asked for access to cut back those very trees. One of the affected trees was a mature silver birch, whose sudden death should leave chemical evidence if tested. I’ve reported the incident to the Environment Agency and requested soil testing to check for toxins. The police have also been notified. I’ve installed another CCTV camera for additional monitoring. I’m not looking for confrontation — I just want to live peacefully and without further interference. But their behaviour continues to feel calculated and harassing. Has anyone experienced anything similar? What steps would you recommend next? I feel at a loss as to how to protect my space and sanity.
