I live in the same road and a lot nearer the market than you do, Dulwich Fox, and I think it's great.


I've never noticed any food smells at all wafting up the road, on Saturdays or any other day.


Nor have I noticed "constant traffic".


And I can quite often park outside my house, and even if I can't, so what? I can almost always park in my/our road, which is hardly very long.


I think it's a great advantage living so near the market, not in any way a disadvantage.


And in case you hadn't noticed, many people have recently moved to our road, presumably all CHOOSING (your caps) to LIVE (ditto) near the market :))

I too have been to Pedlar twice since they opened - fantastic addition to the hood. Great cocktails, good service, yummy brunch menu (Duck Rosti my fav)and dinner menu which was different both days I went. They are doing roasts on a Sunday too, I think this is fast becoming my fav place.

Yes many people have indeed moved to our road.


And an equal amount have moved out to make room for them.

Was a time when property in our road and the other one running parallel

was impossible to come by.


But many people have just had enough of the market and the parking situation

and are just moving out.


I talk to a lot of people and get a lot of feedback.

I have lovely next door neighbours but they are now moving out.


People moving here do not know what they are letting themselves in for.

and paying on average ?650k - ?800k


It's out off control

Are you seriously suggesting that people are moving out of Ulverscroft Road (and presumably other roads adjoining North Cross Road) because they have "had enough of the market and the parking situation" ??!


Surely that is a gross exaggeration??!


The market is once a week - plus one or two stalls on Friday. I think it's a fantastic asset to the area rather than a disadvantage. I love being near the market.


I can usually park outside (or very near) my house. Can't you? Even to walk from one end of the road to the other very slowly can't take more than a couple of minutes max, so I'm bemused as to what this "parking situation" is? If you have heavy things, you can always double park briefly while you unload them, surely?


Of course people move out as others move in, otherwise there would be no houses for sale in the area, would there?!

I can appreciate the concerns many have about the market. If it were a huge community asset, a large established market aimed at everyone in the area providing a huge variety of goods and services (East lane, Portabello) then I could probably be a lot more sympathetic. It seems a shame this market is only aimed at a proportion of the entire ED population.

Does anyone out there who lives near the market really have any such concerns? Apart from DF that is who doesn't live that close to the market at all.

Its 300 steps 258Mtres from my home to North Cross Rd.


On one occasion a mini bus was parked outside my house for 2 weeks.


Only last week I could not get outside my house for 6 days.


If go shopping on a sat. I get back and cannot park outside my place till 6-7 pm

And then if I spot a gap by the time i've gone round the block it's been taken.


There are also 2 skips opposite and 2 doors along which has been there since June (30-40 Skips in that time)

So there is the added problem of skip lorries / builders lorries / 3 houses that have had scaffolding.


It is a complete nightmare. Non stop lorries all day.

It's all part and parcel.


On a Sat its all the market visitors who are too lazy to walk anywhere.

I walk everywhere and mainly use my car on a Sat to do my weekly shop.

Then I park in Whateley and take 2-3 trips to collect my shopping.


Remember My last reply was in response to Sue and parking issues.

You could get your shopping delivered then you don't need to drive anywhere. The main problem is probably that lots of households have more than one car. I think most streets in London have the same pressure on space. It's not all caused by lorries delivering skip loads of sourdough and olives to the market.

Yep in the grand scheme of things, this does sound like a real nightmare!

Great support for local businesses - really adds credibility to all of your previous posts on this topic

I'm a pensioner. I cannot afford the prices at places like Moxons ?9.00+ for 2 Sea Bass fillets. ?4.50 at Tesco.


You need to re-enter the real world.

Without doubt Moxons isn't cheap, I'd usually regard shopping there as a luxury... but that doesn't mean that Tesco's fish is "as good as anything you can buy locally", does it?!


BTW, I'd say most visitors parking on a weekend are here for the shops, cafes, and restaurants. The market is quite small and not exactly a destination in its own right.

The market certainly IS a destination.. You cannot pass on the pavement for the crowds.


Since North Cross has been closed off on Market days, cars enter my road from Whateley rd. and

hit the first space thy can find, that's my end. So as soon as a space becomes available

it gets filled. Further down it is easier to get parked.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      William, a farmer, farming with both his parents who are in their 80s, summed up the nonsensical approach the government is taking on farmers on Question Time tonight when he said: "At the point at which inheritance tax becomes due you aren't in a position to pay it without selling an income bearing asset which then destabilises the very entity you have built up to create a profit from". He summed it up beautifully when he closed: "If this policy were to persist it will materially and existentially destabilise our [the county's] farming business " The biggest clap of the programme came from the ex-NFU president who accused the government panelist: "Why aren't you going after the wealthy investors, the private equity businesses that are buying up land, planting trees, offsetting their green conscience. You've done nothing to them. They're the ones driving up land prices. These farmers do not want to sell their asset....they want to invest in it and this is going to stifle investment. Who is going to want to invest in new buildings as that is going to drive up the value of the estate." "You're going after the wrong people". It's amazing that the government have been daft enough to pick a fight with farmers - Alastair Campbell commented that he did react with shock when it was announced in the budget as, he said, you don't start a fight with farmers.
