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.

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
