Sunday Market...?
Hi neighbours
Wouldn't it be great to get a Sunday market going on Myddleton Road. Has anyone ever explored this idea?
I was just reading the paper today and saw a story about a group who regenerate old arcades such as Granville Arcade in Brixton, filling empty units with independent retailers and creative spaces. I thought.. how could some of that spirit be transferred to Myddleton road..? I know there are lots of discussions about how it could be regenerated. Thankfully The Step is coming, which will hopefully kick start something, but also it got my mind thinking - a market would bring people to the area, you wouldn't have to deal with property / council / long lost owners issue of empty shops (although obviously it would be great to have them used in better ways eventually), and it would provide a place for local retailers to sell interesting stuff that you don't find in Wood Green!
My brother lives in Clapton and there are a couple of Sunday Markets. Chatsworth Road has become much more interesting with new independent shops. I dont see why Myddleton Road couldn't go the same way.
Lucy.

Hello, my daughter is fundraising for a World Challenge trip to Malaysia. We would be interested in either having a stall and/or being paid a small amount to leaflet the area with publicity leaflets. Let us know.

Hello Everyone
Just to let you know thanks to Haringey Council being very accommodating with our mission - we have got the go ahead for the 2 trial markets!
The first of which is scheduled for Sunday 16th June, 11am-4pm. We will be on Myddleton Road near the junction with Marlborough Road, towards the community garden and new gym. We're hoping for a really nice mix of stalls (all your comments on the survey have been gratefully received), with a local element, food you can eat there and take away, arts and crafts, clothes etc. Full details will be announced nearer the time.
Because we are holding it on the street we need to adhere to Haringey's conditions with licences. As such we are requesting all interested traders submit an application for a stall before 15th April. We'll then consider all applicants and let them know a stall number, if successful. Those booked will need to arrange all the proper licences, and certificates.
All the details are on our shiny new website: www.myddletonroadmarket.co.uk - under Trader Info - there is a link to an online application or a PDF that can be posted or dropped into The Step.
Once again, thanks to everyone on here for showing your support! We are really looking forward to the first market on Myddleton Road!
Please spread the word to possible traders - Twitter: @myddletonmarket / Facebook.com/myddletonroadmarket
Thanks very much
Lucy, Kari and Anna
