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.

I'm away from 21 March to 5 April, so a date before 21st would be great for me. Thanks Lucy!

How about meeting in April - Sat 14th? Better to do later as it will be mentioned in the newsletter which is only going out from 10th March onwards.

Ok lets go for that date. I don't see why we can't meet for a coffee before if anyone wants to - before you go away. Im around 1 Mar onwards.

Yes definitely - I'm up for meeting after 1 March. At the Step? Wed - Fri evenings good for me. How does Wed 7 March at 6.30 look, to get the ball rolling?
