I think a large supermarket would be brilliant there Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury’s - topped of course by social housing.
Skate park is a great temporary use for this derelict site. But I expect things will change when the lease runs out.
this is jokes - I walked through Dulwich park and there were loads of people there and actually the skate park is reasonably illuminated by the street lights. I was stating a tiny fact about a sliver of time not making a statement on the 'youth of today'
Went past yesterday there was one man skating. It was a good use of a derelict site, but hopefully it won’t be if Southwark Council and Dulwich estates sort it out. Compulsory purchase anyone?
Many high streets have been taken over by charity shops. I can’t believe they’re paying full rent. I think landlords accept a low rent from a charity for a short term. Hopefully someone who actually knows will set me clear.
Southwark is closing youth centres day centres they’re not going to spend millions on opening a new community space. What that area needs is a good supermarket. The nearest one is Sainsbury’s in Forest Hill. someone else may well know of the mechanism where a council can make a compulsory purchase. So the supermarket underneath with three or four stories of social housing long top built in the same style as the Dulwich estate.Next door.
My subtle call to open the village to through traffic has gone unnoticed. I think that’s the only solution to avoid three months of absolute pollution and avoidable interruption to normal lives.
Sometimes estate agents may recommend reducing the price to create a quicker sale, sometimes sellers have an inflated view of the value of their own property, especially if they’ve personally done work on it.
