Sainsbury's Local opening on the 18th December near the plough

Just to keep you all informed, the empty shops just along from the Plough Pub (357-361 Lordship Lane). That have been empty for a large period of time will become a New Sainsburys local store. If anyone has any questions about the site then post them on here or PM me and i will try to help.

Gawd!! Here we go again. Don't you think that if one of the chains was proposing a store on this site that it would have been opened years ago? The whole sight appears to be a speculative piece of property development. This is illustrated by the stop - go nature of the work. Weeks go by without anything being done. The whole project has been going on for well over 2 years already, probably a lot more, and the flats aren't even finished, let alone let. I actually wish one of the chains would open a convenience store on the site. The current offerings in that particular area of LL are pretty poor, and its been an eyesore for far too long. BTW. How on earth did the Polish grocery get a liquor licence? Aren't there already enough stores selling alcohol on this short strip?

Hi sorry i should have said in my original post that i work for the developers, Watmough Brothers Investments, who have owned the site for roughly thirty years haveing bought it from the co-op. Unfortunately due to the nature of completely rebuilding a site internally and adding extensions to the back of the property many people believe that no work has been done when infact there has been alot however not all visable.

This sucks anus. What has East Dulwich done to deserve another ugly blight of a supermarket under our noses, don't they syphon off enough money from local communities/small shopkeepers with out having to be here too, what's wrong with the one on dog kennel hill? Don't they make enough money? I am no anti capitalist quite the contrary but with such a vibrant community there must be other businesses the landlord could do business with?


What a sell out.


thanks greedy bollox love you too.

I would rather have a Sainsbury's there than empty units. At least it will mean that people at that end of East Dulwich don't have to trek to Dog Kennel Hill to get their groceries in. I am sure it will be very popular.


I know a lot of people will perceive this as a threat to independent shops, but I think that small shops should be able to survive by providing products/service/environment that you can't get in a supermarket.

I'm surprised at the suggestion that this shop site will be a Sainsburys local.

Somerfield recently applied and obtained an alcolhol licence. It would seem surprisng if Somerfield/Coop had sold this site/option.


If it is Sainsbury's they need to apply for an alcohol licence which I would be notified of and have'nt.

Have the anti-chain gang not considered the fact that a Sainsbury's here might actually bring MORE footfall to the area - thus helping the independents that have set up here?


The other end of Lordship Lane has two supermarkets - and several newsagents. It seems there's enough custom to sustain them all.

There's already quite a few non-chain, long-established, food shops around there so I'd be amazed if any of these would welcome a Sainsbury's local. I suspect the Forest Hill "big" Sainsbury's might lose a bit of trade too...


Oh and I believe Enid Blyton was very young indeed when she moved out from across the road! :))

Its only that if it does get built ( as planned) lorries ( if large ones) would have trouble getting under ( only high enough -Just- for fire engines


glad that something is finally being done anyway

It seems I was a little over the top with my post last night on this thread and some what unkind to lord lane, it has been pointed out that perhaps I should not shoot the meesenger or use unkind language in an open forum. I have to say that in hindsight I agree with that and would therefor like to offer an apology to lord lane.


sorry


iain.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
