Return of Chatsworth Market on the horizon!
Two recent meetings of the Chatsworth Road Market Committee have given the market the impetus it needs to start this year. During these meetings, and using the feedback received from the leaflets last year, we’ve made some crucial decisions about what the first phase of Chatsworth Market will look like. (more…)
Strong turnout takes the Association and market campaign to exciting new stage
Tuesday October 13th saw 56 traders & residents turn up to a public meeting at Chats Palace – and it’s a credit to local community spirit that over half of them volunteered. (more…)

These notes outline the discussion involved in reaching a constitution document for the Traders & Residents Association – see previous article ‘Constitution agreed’ for the constitution document itself. (more…)
Many thanks to all who attended the latest meeting and contributed to shaping this document
On 14th September, 20 local people took up the invitation to discuss and agree a constitution for the Chatsworth Road Traders & Residents Association.
It was a really positive and productive session, including discussions on how to define membership and how to ensure that the organisation was both open and accountable.
The resulting document will provide a much needed framework for running the Association. And it will therefore also provide a vital foundation for pushing the market campaign forwards in a manner that is inclusive and dynamic. (more…)
Join us downstairs at the snooker hall, 64 Brooksby’s Walk, to agree a constitution

During May and early June 2009 we conducted a survey across the area surrounding Chatsworth Road, asking people for their views on a new, weekly high street market.
The response we got was huge and largely positive. This report offers both a snapshot summary of the survey, and also a detailed analysis of the findings – some of which throw up complex questions.
The report also makes some recommendations for taking the campaign forwards (more…)
Survey confirms massive support, but key questions remain and new volunteers needed
It gave us great pleasure last night to welcome 45 residents and traders to Chats Palace. The meeting focussed on the survey findings, brainstorming solutions, and the next steps forward.
Prize draw winner announced: Paddy Taylor & Cllr Rathbone
Huge thanks to to all those who came and contributed their time and ideas, and to the venue staff. And congratulations to local resident, Paddy Taylor of Meeson Street, who was presented with £50 by Cllr Rathbone as the winner of the survey prize draw.
Survey findings
The findings of our recent survey confirmed a huge level of interest in a new market. (more…)
So what did Clapton say to the idea of a new Chatsworth Road market?
We’re inviting everyone down to Chats Palace, 42-44 Brooksby’s Walk, on Tuesday, 14th July, at 8pm. This is a chance to hear and discuss the findings of the recent survey on the idea of a new street market.
Afterwards the venue’s bar will be open until 11pm – hopefully a great chance for the community to get together and kick off the summer! (more…)
Thanks to those who made it along
The June 12th meeting included updates on: i) increased business rates; ii) conversion of shop units to residential use; and iii) the street market survey.
We’re not making the assumption that people who have expressed an interest in the street market idea necessarily want to receive minutes of meetings that cover other business alongside the market.
