  10. Chatsworth Road market @chatsworthroad have a special Christmas themed market today (Sunday 11th December) \To make it feel Chatsworth Road to be closed to traffic between Dunlace Road and Rushmore Road.  The road will be closed for the day only and will allow us to have more stalls along with carol singing mulled wine and other Christmas activities. We hope this won’t cause any inconvenience to you but let us know if it does.We’ll also be launching our new membership scheme.  This is open to anyone who lives in the area.  It costs £1 for the year and you get a membership card that will also give you special discounts at a number of shops on the street.  However the membership to the association is about more than discounts it is primarily to support CRTRA with the work that we’ve been doing (see our October newsletter) . Membership will also give you a right to vote for committee members to propose projects we should be perusing and ask us for help with any relevant issues that you may have with Hackney Council.You can come and collect your membership card from our stall on any Sunday from next week and also come and have a chat about what we’re doing.”“

  12. Any markets open during this week weekdays? My weekends are sadly not free any more so I’m having market withdrawal. Last year Broadway Market was open for the days leading up to Christmas. Will they be doing this again this year? Any others?
