As with anything, if you do not feel comfortable letting anyone into your property then don't do it. Kath47 did they say they would come back another time or leave with you any literature?

You're very much deluded if you think CPZ will help in any way around the area... really think about it and be careful what you wish for - once it's in...*shrugs

"fresher" food than other new establishments *CoMu&gShs* to the area... just saying!

It would seem, while the issue is still being sorted with M&S (probably with the "legal" team as residents are always being fobbed off with), they (M&S) have chosen to try deliveries - which are not meant to take place before 7am Mon-Fri, 8am Sat and 10am Sunday/Bank holidays (unless a successful amendment has been made to the conditions placed on the planning application)- from the front to avoid further problems arising with effected neighbours.

Just to through it in the mix... ADT have been canvassing the area recently - always something happens around the time they're in the area. Just saying!

The issue with the lorries accessing the site is NOT as bad as is led to believe. The store/drivers AND neighbours are working hard together to find a workable solution. There are other outstanding issues however - such as delivery times and the number of deliveries received throughout the day. There are also questions over the permissions within the planning applications which are causing grumbles... with M&S passing everything over to their legal team this could go on for sometime!

Was it not this one: "CONSIDERATION of APPLICATION FOR FULL PLANNING PERMISSION Application number: 15/AP/2221 Address: 84-90 LORDSHIP LANE, LONDON, SE22 8HF Proposal: Rooftop extension to provide x 2 residential units and walkway to rear of existing office/residential at 1st and 2nd floor; use of first and second floors as offices and refurbishment of the existing retail store at ground floor including a single storey rear extension with associated plant. It will be considered by the Council's Planning Sub-committee B which meets on: date 8 March, 2016 time 19:00 venue Council Offices, 160 Tooley Street, London SE1 2QH Recommended decision: Grant subject to Legal Agreement" ???

I wouldn't get your hopes up. The council (planning) continues to prove it's inability to right wrongs or even to follow their own procedures. As James points out... more public money wasted.

I know what they are... but I'll hush ;-)

I'm confused - how does sitting on someone's wall eating chicken make it an "unsafe" area?

They're the ones being coy about it... My point was that anything could happen *throws arms in air*

M&S don't "officially" take the site until the contract is signed at the end of the month. They could still potentially not take the site...

Darn it now I've got this in my head (with silly voices!) I seen a peanut stand, heard a rubber band I seen a needle that winked its eye But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything When I see an elephant fly I seen a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring I seen a polka-dot railroad tie But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything When I see an elephant fly I saw a clothes horse, he r'ar up and buck And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck I didn't see that, I only heard But just to be sociable, I'll take your word I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat And I just laughed till I thought I'd die But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything When I see an elephant fly *sighs*

I've never seen a hedgehog

Erm... You really cannot and should even think about comparing the two!

OMG OMG OMG ! So THAT's what it is... *sarcasm in abundance here* Sounds silly
