I wonder where people will park when they drive there using EDG and Grove Vale access? Actually I don?t mind a street market on Melbourne all weekend, great for traders and lots of hot food stalls please. I can see Korean BBQs and one of those cheese toasty sandwich stalls like the one in Borough....mmmmhhhhh tasty but terrible for my waistline.

In that case, Derwent Grove and Elsie Road are going to see even more 3 point turns that they have now.

They should pay attention to signage then.

I think we have saturation point on hipster street markets/street food


Why anyone would pay ?7 for some street food and then having to find somewhere to perch down uncomfortably and eat it, when there are cheaper cafes with table service (and a toilet!!) is beyond me

How does a street market work in a street which is predominantly residential?


Surely residents need to park their cars there and may need to drive out/in on market day.


North Cross doesnt have that problem as it's got shops all the way along one side from LL to Fellbrig Rd.

Sounds like a cynical attempt by Southwark to pretend it hasn't ruined the businesses in the area.

ED just isn't big enough to support two street markets. If they open one, there'll be a few takers at first, then it'll tail off and Southwark can pretend it was really really trying to help.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
