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 service

Southwark 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.

KK I can just imagine you saying that in a whispered voice with shady looks over your shoulder to a bloke in the pub (we all wish)

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.

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)

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.

    • I had no idea about the sourcing of the paving stones - where is the info on this? The extension of the paved area seems completely unjustified- plus, there is a cycle lane right thru the middle so there are bound to be some near misses with pedestrians. 
    • That's really awful. There must be someone further up the management chain who could be made aware of this? 
    • I'm assuming that anybody who has a cat can afford  its food, litter, vets' fees etc. Nobody was saying that two quid is "nothing", but it's cheaper than some brands of cat litter, so was hopefully useful to the OP. Still, hopefully your post made you feel better 👍 🤣 We still don't know why there was a bag of cat litter at the bus stop! Surely it would be rather difficult to take it away unnoticed if the owner of the cat litter was  also at the bus stop? It's not like someone distracted your attention and picked your pocket and you didn't notice till some time later! But what is also confusing me is, if the OP knows where the thief lives, why don't they go and ask for their cat litter back?
    • The market is only there for a few hours on Saturdays! Surely all street markets are "a bit tatty"! That seems a strange reason to close a road permanently to traffic!  There is already at least one seat  in North Cross Road (which seems to be quite well used),  apart from those for customers of The Palmerston,  and several of the shops in the road have greenery outside
