Waiting for magazines on Goodrich... It seemingly got better for a week or two but back to rubbish again now...

The market will sort it out. This site is huge and no doubt the rent and rates are equally so. Probably the only viable business for such a site, at current rents, is something like a Poundland Local. It's probably very much a sign of the times.

Will have to try the new Chippy. There's already Semas and Sea Master not far from me. Anyone know if Rise and Bloom is staying now they've opened Shoreditch? Not clear if it's another branch or a move?

They're definitely starting to catch up. Magazines from Mid December delivered finally today.

Personally I would prioritise fixing that it takes a month to get a first class letter delivered to SE22, if you're lucky! There's no base for the police in the area so crime is rampant, will probably get worse if the economy deteriorates. Vehicle thefts, stabbing in Peckham Rye, it's all here on the forum. Basic services people have taken for granted for 100 years, no longer exist in SE22 in 2023.

It seems probable the Peckham sorting office is too small for both areas and too far from ED... Also seems probable then that SE22 post will be broken until infrastructure is built to replace what was sold off, could take a while..? Hard for us to say exactly, only people that work for RM will know. Oh well, at least some people made a killing out of selling the property off...

If there was any logic in the world it would be turned in to the new local sorting and delivery office..! We also need a police station / police space at least. Essentially need to undo the infrastructure vandalism of the last 10 years and rebuild what we had before... Progress is great I guess, we've gone backwards...

Yes it's been <2T for a couple of years now. Not sure if they'll ever repair it to be <3.5T ever. Some cars are actually heavier than 2T, not sure if there is margin or if they get done too.

Just when you thought ED had reached peak bakery and coffee places...

Yes parking there would seem to be a bit ridiculous. It blocks the view coming out of the junction and is quite dangerous. There's no Parking controls on the bit behind the restriction on Oakhurst grove and the road behind I think so why not part their and walk the extra 10 or so meters?

Not when there isn't any competition. If we actually want post delivered can we choose someone else other than Royal Mail to deliver it? If we can, sign me up!!! My guess is these issues will go on indefinitely, or at least until the destroyed infaststructure is replaced... Not likely anytime soon... Unless someone turns the Grove tavern in to a sorting office!

Almost seems like the now closed local delivery office on Silvester Road was a key piece of infrastructure... Got a birthday card sent 1st class 6 weeks late and magazines from a month ago... First post in weeks!

Also on Goodrich and not seeing much if anything...

Closing the local sorting office continues to work like a charm.... Strikes making it even worse.

Poundland Local indeed, like having Woolies back? Who said we're not going back to the 70s..?

Checks out, store 9003... Amazing how many there used to be. http://www.woolworthsmuseum.co.uk/Directory/Woolworth-StoreList-1972.pdf

That location was the DSS originally? Tell me I'm wrong?

Their reviews look really good to me? They've got on Google, Facebook and Trustpilot. Personally I wouldn't put much stock in trustpilot (or tripadvisor) reviews. Lots of companies don't use them due to how they do business.

Did you get a photo of the meter when you moved in? Possibly you've been done over where someone has not given an accurate reading on prior move out and you're paying for what they used.

Initial reading was probably wrong. Or something else using the supply.

I've seen dogs go for the horses a year or two ago. Quite unpleasant, especially for the horses. It was on the outer ring though were I think dogs are allowed to be off leads.

It probably won't taste the same, that is my guess. The expand to much, ruin the product and original core idea. It's a big chain now. I would say they're saving money, gas prices aren't exactly low though! Maybe it's easier to manage or something. Luckily, we're not short of other pizza options if the quality is diminished!

Have to feel sorry for all businesses, especially small ones, in this awful economic environment. When you've got surging wages, power bills and all other inputs it's a recipe for serious trouble. People doing a runner without paying is just despicable, hopefully Lucas can find a way to make sure people pay without doing this somehow.

Got post delivered circa 4am today! Anyone else have this?

LTNs have silent majority support it seems from the elections. Probably because lots of people get quieter streets and the people getting fined, are the ones who don't know the area and therefore probably don't live and can't vote here..!
