The Market is coming!

Following on the success of our 'Xmas Fayres', the first of a regular series of street markets in Railton Road is planned to take place on Sunday 1 July.

This is according by Cllr Jim Dickson (via Twitter), although there's no confirmation yet on the Herne Hill Forum website.

The Forum has been working hard with the Traders and Lambeth Council and the markets will be monthly at first, with potential for development if they are popular.

We hope you'll agree this is a venture that needs to be supported by Herne Hill residents.

ps
Lambeth Council has approved the closure of Rymer Street next to Herne Hill station on Sunday 3 June for the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Try local food and music, meet resident and local traders, and enjoy a fun day at the Rymer Street party. Families welcome. Contact [email protected]

We'll be looking into it

Pedestrian lights on the main roads Since the main part of the Herne Hill regeneration scheme was completed over a year ago (we're still waiting to hear from Lambeth when work will start on upgrading Brockwell Passage), we've been receiving a lot of complaints about the phasing of the pedestrian lights for crossing Dulwich and Norwood Roads. For long periods during the cycle these show red for pedestrians who have to wait unnecessarily for the 'Green Man when there is obviously no danger from vehicles who...

Thomas Lynn Bristowe MP is back The newly restored and cleaned bust of Thomas Lynn Bristowe was been returned to Brockwell Hall. It was unveiled on Wed 6 June 2012 by the Mayor of Lambeth (Councillor Clive Bennett) and Thomas Bristowe (descendant of Thomas Lynn Bristowe). In the 1880s, the huge Blades Blackburn estate at Herne Hill was put up for sale for housing. Local MP Thomas Lynn Bristowe led a campaign to buy it as a public park. He even guaranteed the money needed to...
