KidKruger Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 But really, we shouldn't be having to enforce an obscure pre-Victorian bye-law to get people to wear masks !!ianr Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> > FYI - "Oops, this page doesn't exist" > > https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/borough-marke> t-forces-shoppers-to-wear-masks-outside-under-obsc> ure-1829-law/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Agreed kk but sadly not all humans like to do what is considered sensible, so the market has utilised an ancient law to protect people from themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AylwardS Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 The council website is unhelpful but there is an email address that may be worth contacting. Though the lockdown restricts the market to essential retail so it maybe better.This is what the council site says. Limited market serviceSouthwark markets are currently operating a very limited?service of?goods?at a small number of areas around the borough. If you have an enquiry regarding a specific market, email us at [email protected]. If you're visiting a Southwark market, be aware that current public health guidelines advise that public toilets remain closed for public safety until further notice.

LJC56 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 It?s open today. Small number of food stalls plus the bike repair place. Virtually empty at 10.30 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigello Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I walked past the market at LL but did not go down NXR. I saw the marshalls in high vis jackets and thought I just CBA with another level of intrusion, even though it is probably necessary. Fluoro yellow brings out the worst in me....

mancity68 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Popped down just as it opened. Pretty empty. Marshall asking people to wear a mask and not loiter. First time I?ve felt ?safe? there for a while ~ I have just been walking past and not stopping in recent weeks as it was so crowded. Weather probably helped today.

DulwichFox Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Yes Marshals and Police on the Market. Marshal asking people to put on masks. I spoke to Marshal who said he was asking people to put Mask on which they did (so they did have a Mask) but he said when he goes they just take it off again. Blatant disregard of any Rules. Marshal and Police say nothing they can do, ?100 on the spot Fine might help. People simply do not give a Toss (polite version) DulwichFox There was a guy Busking .. Singing st the top of his Voice. Spoke to Marshal who just said.. "nice music" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigello Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 To be honest, the market is secondary to the fact NXR is a thorougfare. I don't think anyone who needs to get from A to B should be asked to wear a mask. It's suggesting that the market is more important than the free space for everyone. I avoided it and will do again. I think it ought to be shut down for the interim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
