M&S on Lordship Lane

[Callie]

Does anyone know when the M&S food shop is due to open?

[LondonMix]

Supposedly summertime around June but who knows if that's still the case.

[DulwichFox]

It's a bit of a mystery to me when you compare the rate of progress with the new School (Old Police Station site)

and the rate of progress at the M&S site..

June seems a bit optomistic to me.

New construction is infinitely faster than adaptations to existing structures. Its not comparable.

There is a new alcohol licence application submitted by Marks & Spencer Simply Food 84-90 Lordship Lane. It is due to be considered by the Licensing sub Committee on the 10th of May.

There's an M&S opening?! Why has no one mentioned it on the Forum?

It was a closely guarded secret. ;-)

I asked M&S about 3 months ago and they told me July.

Yes .. You can take it or leave it.. More choice for some..

... Restricted choice for others...

... being outpriced by most new outlets in the area.

Marks and Sparks are SO boring and unneccessarily pricey.

I'm hoping they will be a little less boring than the black boards & scaffolding & somewhere I can spend the

vouchers I've been given :)

[Chief]

Angelina - it's you that's so boring AND cheapskate!

Marks and Spencer put in an application for a licence to sell alcohol from 6am to midnight. They have now amended their application so that the sale of alcohol is from 8am each day. The licence has been granted but with a number of conditions agreed between the applicant and the police. They are as follows:-

That a CCTV system be installed at the premises and maintained in good working order and be continually recording at all times the premises are in use under licence. The CCTV system must be capable of capturing a clear facial image of every person who enters the premises. All CCTV images must be kept for a period of 31 days and made immediately available to officers and the police.

All staff are to be trained in their responsibilities under the 2003 Licensing Act and training records are to be kept and updated every 12 months and shall be made available to officers and the police.

No beers or ciders in single cans, bottles or multi packs with an ABV exceeding 7.5% will be displayed or sold from the premises, unless written authority is obtained from the Police Licensing Unit.

Charlie,

Oh, so they are going to be selling alcohol after all. I recall someone asking about this months ago and being advised alcohol would not be sold. How will this now affect the opening and operating hours..especially at weekends, will these be extended beyond what was agreed in the earlier application? Does this mean M&S can stay open 8 am until 12 pm every day if the week, including weekends?

[Charlie Smith]

The Sainsbury's Local store at 357 Lordship Lane is licensed to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises from 6.00 to 00.00 seven days a week. There are a number of other shops in Lordship Lane that have 24 hour alcohol licenses. They can all be revoked if there are serious breaches of the license conditions.

I hope this is helpful.

Charlie, thanks for the reply. I think the concern would be that since closing hours will now be in excess of what I believe was agreed, will this also mean that delivery hours are extended beyond what was agreed?

[DulwichFox]

People are only getting what they wished for.. so why all the concern now.. ??

[bilksy]

who is concerned?
