Open the Babington Road Consultation ... - Lambeth Council

QUESTION 3
Do you support the creation of two piazzas to host a street market?
83% SUPPORT (YES)
15% AGAINST (NO)
GENERAL ISSUES
A large majority supported this proposal
and respondents were excited that this
space could become a new focal point for
Streatham.
Some respondents hoped more shoppers
would be drawn to the area which would
help improve the local economy. Some also
wanted the street market to operate weekly.
Concern was expressed about the creation
of new areas with steps that could create a
trip/fall hazard, that could pose difficuties
for disabled people.
Some respondents wanted better links from
the new space and into Streatham Green.
RESPONSE
The positive feedback is welcomed.
The market and other community events will
draw people to the area and help support
the local economy. Markets have proved
successful in re-vitalising areas all over
London, staring with Borough Market, and
similar results can be seen on Broadway
Market and Chatsworth Road Market.
The designs have been modified to remove
any steps.
Some sketch desgins were developed
but will not be progressed as part of this
scheme.
