From a very selfish personal perspective, I'd like to see the number of stalls increased and Sunday opening added. I can see that it would be necessary though to look at ways of mitigating the impact on residents living on North Cross itself and immediately adjacent streets. I used to live practically on top of Petticoat Lane market and it was being woken by the noise of stallholders and market staff setting up early on a Sunday morning that aggravated me most of all. So, putting myself into the North Cross residents shoes for a moment, I think I'd ask that on Sunday the market shouldn't open before 11.00am with no set-up taking place before 10.30am - but that's just me of course. (Mind you, might be willing make an exception for one stallholder selling freshly baked crusty bread, croissants, muffins or other breakfast goodies...) I think the idea of a farmers' market treads a bit close to the existing farmers' market at Dulwich College. Decades ago when I spend alternate Saturday mornings trailing around Stockport market with my mum, there was a section dedicated to stalls selling things like dress patterns, dress fabrics, curtain fabrics, knitting wool, reconditioned sewing machines, zips and buttons, cane for basketry work, leather work supplies, rug making gear, picture framing materials and a bunch of other things that I've either forgotten or never properly understood in the first place. Given the austerity and make-do-and-mend flavour that the world seems to be taking on at the moment, maybe that would be a fresh angle to explore? For the record, our postcode is SE22 9QH Mrs Expat
