New Sunday markets in West Norwood .
Congratulations to all who made the first Norwood “Feast” on Sunday 3rd April a fantastic success, bringing more than 2,000 people pouring into 4 markets in the centre of West Norwood . Brilliant planning & marketing by local residents working with Space Makers and support from Big Yellow Storage & the council combined with good weather resulted in a great market day.
Norwood Feast is a set of markets dotted through the town centre on the first Sunday of every month,
There is a second-hand goods/retro clothing market outside Rosebery’s auctioneers on Knight’s Hill, food stalls and children’s entertainment in St Luke’s Church garden, an arts and crafts fair at the end of Chatsworth Way and plants, fruit and vegetables on the corner of York Hill and Norwood Road. Local shops joined in: Beamish and McGlue served hog roast outside their shop on the corner of Lancaster Avenue and Kahvah welcomed a record number of customers in its Norwood Road café. O Girasol was also doing a roaring trade and B&Q staff reported a large increase in business.
Fringe events included guerrilla gardeners who planted around trees in Norwood Road , trampolining for children and cemetery tours for adults..
Shoppers came from a wide area of south London – Lewisham, Balham and Mitcham as well as Streatham, Dulwich and Crystal Palace. Jane Pickard, local councillor for Knight’s Hill, said: “The markets are a huge success and I look forward to the next events in May & June.”

Cllr Jackie Meldrum supports the petition to save Kahvah
This week Cllr Jackie Meldrum handed in a petition to the Lambeth Mayor from hundreds of local residents who support the planning application (ref 09/02740) for 521 Norwood Road (Kahvah) to become a restaurant.
To ensure a shopping centre is mainly shops Lambeth has a rule that only 2 out of any 5 successive premises may prepare hot food. The empty Wimpey next door to 521 and the nearby KFC mean the planners have to refuse permission for 521 to prepare and serve hot food.
Jackie is hopeful that, due to the high level of local support, the councillors on the Planning Committee will make an exception in the case of 521 Norwood Road at their meeting on Tuesday 3rd November 7pm in the Town Hall.
It would be helpful if you would let Jackie or Mr Sheraz at 521 Norwood Road know if you, as one of the petitioners, would be attending the meeting on 3rd November. You can also let the members of the Planning Committee know your views directly by contacting the chair Cllr Toren Smith ( tjsmith@lambeth.gov.uk 07946 218 109) or the clerk of the committee, Antoinette Duhaney (aduhaney@lambeth.gov.uk 020 7926 3133) both at Lambeth Town Hall, Brixton Hill, SW2 1RW.
You can see the papers for the Planning Committee on the Lambeth website http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/moderngov/ieAgenda.aspx?A=6863
