i'm with James here a CPZ would help you as residents would get parkign permits! I understand people objections to them but as a non driver i am astonished how many people probably drive to LL to shop who don't need to really - it's just becuase it's easier - ever tried cyclign along LL on a Saturday with all the parking and manoevering that goes on along a very busy road - i was nearly taken out last week by soemone tryign to reverse out into the road by the CO OP in a vehicle more suited for the prairies of America than a small inner london suburb. i know some people do need cars for their lifestyles but seriously some people moaning about parking fines, traffic and parking need to ahev a word with themselves and be honest about whether they really need to use their car as much in what is a very crowded inner London suburb with really quite good public transport.

This could be just a rumour but i heard it was going to be a takeaway pizza place - poss called Papa John - is that a chain? I was having a think about what kind of shop i would want seeing as i live on Solway Rd - however i can't think of anything i need that i can't get either in Peckham or Lordship lane

Hi it was me that started the thread about Morleys. Some of the trouble was localised to our block of flats - our block backs onto that row of shops and we have had some issues but hopefully we have resolved those with the shops manager and their landlord The wider issue that i have found out today they do not have a valid late night food license. I am concerned that this show a lack of respect for residents the area that they thought they could open until 1 - 2am without the appropriate license and also residents have not had a proper say in this type of shop opening in their area with the attendant issues such as litter, noise and anti social behaviour. i shall be makign representations to the council once they apply for a license but i would be interested in Southwarks licensing policy and if it is accepstable practice to allow late night food takeaways to open up next to 24 convenience stores in a predominatly residential area.
