I've submitted a nomination for North Cross Road but please note that on that page it says voting closes on 10th Jan!

[rigbydan]

Thanks,apparently its been extended by a couple of days.

It says "No votes cast after the closing date will be counted", and the closing date is the 10th so todays' votes will count. Anyway, go vote http://www.nabma.com/britainsfavouritemarket/

Sorry but Britain's favourite market? Surely its not even as good as the one 5 mins away in Herne Hill.

I figure that raising its profile can only improve it! Who wouldn't want to set.out their stall at an award winning market?

I'm getting an Error 404 from these links, saying the page no longer exists.

And I can't see anywhere to actually vote, only to submit a nomination, which asks for all sorts of info?

Oh yes, the page has gone down, I'll send NABMA an email to let them know.

But it wont win any awards. I wouldn't vote for something just because its local.

I think it can be improved to have a chance of winning something in the future. Personally I think it could first be improved by facing the stalls inwards towards the road, to have stalls facing inwards on both sides like most markets. But maybe there are reasons...

[rigbydan]

Don't forget us North Cross Road businesses, stalls facing away from the shops would obscure those businesses and funnel visitors away from them down the centre of the road.

[Mick Mac]

Fair enough, I knew there would be a good reason.

Perhaps though if the proposed changes to the market go ahead and the road is closed from Archdale, the stalls would then face inward onto the cleared road. Makes a lot more sense and make for a more comfortable experience for visitors to the market.

I did get some dialogue from James Barber that that had been proposed..

Will then keep the pavement clear for pedestrians..

Anyone going to the shops would walk on the pavement.

If i'm going to LLoyds to get something, I am not going to walk past it by walking in the road.
