Gove did not confirm in his letter to Tessa that Harris Nunhead was going ahead on the hospital site, he wrote "My department is working with officials in the Department of Health to acquire part of the Dulwich Community Hospital site for the Harris Nunhead primary school ..." Without further clarification about how far negotiations have got, this statement really doesn't say much, it could mean they're about to sign the contract, it could mean there's been a phone call or two. James says in an earlier post that Harris management was not aware the EFA had acquired part of the hospital site on their behalf and on the other thread that "The EFA intend for Harris to establish the Harris Nunhead fre priamry school on this site" But nevertheless the land is owned by the Department of Health regardless of how Gove's department thinks it should be used (though, once the health facility has been allowed for, I support its use for education.) It is also not clear whether it is the primary or the secondary school to which Tessa is referring when she writes to Gove: "There is some confusion however, as political claims have been made that the site will be used for one 'preferred' candidate bid which is being promoted." This could well refer to the LibDem initiative for a new secondary school, largely supported by parents, which favours Haberdashers as the preferred supplier. I suspect this is a case of MP and minister communicating at cross purposes, creating confusion in their wake.

Interesting, 2 libdems, 1 labour http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/1000/5_previous_election_results/3486/2014_council_elections/7

And sellers have never concealed problems before that only came to light after the homebuyer moved in?

According to Wikipedia, Victoria Beckham's parents founded an electronics wholesale business and she and her siblings had a comfortable upbringing. Her nickname is Posh for a reason! As for the Beckhams' children, their family background is so unique, class just isn't going to be a relevant issue, they're way outside the whole "system".

Your details would probably still be on the library's computer so would guess all you need to do is advise them of your change of address and, if you've lost your card, they will issue a new one.

When East Dulwich was developed at the end of the 19th century "The houses were aimed at socially mobile members of the lower middle classes - typically London clerks - and the new population was largely one of young families." From History of East Dulwich at http://www.ideal-homes.org.uk/southwark/assets/histories/east-dulwich

Nice analysis Miga, I take your point. Coulsdon South therefore must take the no. 1 position.

A recent development http://www.london-se1.co.uk/news/view/7540

"In the Sunday Times today Rod Liddle describes Dulwich Park as 'the second most middle class place on Earth'" No question at all about Dulwich Park being middle class, but "the second most middle class place on Earth"? Nah, way behind Hampstead, Primrose Hill, Highgate, Richmond, parts of Wimbledon, other parts of London too many to list, parts of Norfolk, Gloucestershire, etc etc. France. Sorry Dulwich Park you just don't cut it for second place.

I was asking where the LARGE empty retail spaces are. Besides, whilst there are a few shops closing, we have no idea what negotiations are going on to assign leases. Just think such alarmism is very premature.

"The thought of yet another empty large retail space fills me with dread." Can you remind me of where the others are in ED?

Thanks LM for bringing some realism and sanity to this thread.

Speaking as someone who is not into sport at all, I think this is an excellent idea. Good luck!

OP seems a little confused. Begins by talking about a free carpark and then continues about a commercially run car park.

"That's not what's in the policy" Would be grateful if you could post a link to this policy, Labour or Lib Dem? Also, not sure that talking about what is due to the tax man when an owner dies has a lot of relevance to taxes liable to be paid by the living.

"Forcing pensioners (such as me, in fact) out of their homes to satisfy the young employed's desire to live in nice places will look increasingly less a 'fix' to the problem as you (my readers) approach old-age." Even if it was brought in, the nature of a change like this works so slow it's more likely to affect those paying off their mortgage in 20-30 years' time than current pensioners. Also, like capital gains tax, unlikely to affect a primary residence which would not be classed as wealth.

"...he rents a one bed tiny flat in one of the less desireable areas of North London..." Could be wife and kids live in large house outside of London while he commutes / lives in bedsit five days a week. A lot of the highly paid guys I used to work with did this.

It was a second hand shop that always had a large number of buggies on the forecourt. Agree with post that Cheese Block predated ED Deli. There was though another delicatessen a few doors up, possibly where Headnizm is now.

Thank EDP, the remark about Grade II listing baffled me

Is there a strategic, coherent proposal for the site? The LibDems are working hard to ensure part of the land is used for a new secondary school but as KK has posted above, the land doesn't belong to them or the Council. Don't get me wrong, I fully appreciate the need for a new school and am supportive of the site being used for one IF there is sufficient land left over after the medical facility is built and the health needs of East Dulwich have been met.
