I see from the bumpf sent out by Harriet Harman to us living in East Dulwich - Peckham Rye Ward, which has now moved to her constituency, that the Labour Party?s sole plan for investing in the East Dulwich community is by ?tidying up shopping arcades and parades.?

Does anyone know of any shopping arcades in East Dulwich, yet alone any that need ?tidying up??

Do Harman or Labour?s prospective councillors actually know where East Dulwich is?

From Tessa Jowell to Harriet Harman. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Hi Old Yeller which bumpf is this? The Southwark Labour Manifesto has plenty of stuff on a whole host of issues for East Dulwich and the rest of the borough.


On shopping parades lots of people supported the Peckham Rye Labour petition to tidy up Forest Hill Road.


(happy to have have one bumpf thread)


Victoria

Peckham Rye Labour

It's contained in the bumpf for Peckham Rye Ward, which part of ED is in. Seems it might be something coming from HHarman as we've been moved into Camberwell and Peckham Rye.

My questions remain unanswered.

Where are the shopping arcades in East Dulwich?

HH's website shows a map with the places she has visited over a fairly long period of time. None of these visits appear to have been to East Dulwich. As for my Labour Councillors....well, before last Sunday I hadn't seen or heard from them since they last came looking for my vote some years back.


Re the bumpf threads: some of us are novices at this and might just get the impression that we are just a bit irritating to some more experienced members. Sorry if my error in opening 2 threads has offended you old timers but PURLEEEASE can you be just a little patient?

I'm inclined to agree with ???? here. There are enough debates running simultaneously about the various political factions, local and national, in the area. The upcoming General Election debates will add more.


For that reason I'm going to lock this thread and any further discussion of this issue can continue in the other "bumpf" thread.


Thank you.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
