Why waste the local taxpayers money on repairing the pavements on LL?The paved areas directly to the front of most of the businesses on LL are the responsibility of the leaseholder/freeholder/occupier. Greedy businesses are happy to make a fortune by putting tables outside, serving food outside, having mobile vehicles parked outside, having goods outside, ugly trip hazard advertising etc ad infinitum to increase their profits so let them repair what they are responsible for.

The greedy pretend to be community spirited when it comes to thinking up more ways to increase profit such as Dulwich fest, xmas scams, etc so lets see some real community spirit and let them repair what they are responsible for.

And to anyone that has had an accident, forget the council-the local business is responsible for all within their curtilage which includes their shopfronts, see the owners for your compy not the tax payer.

Why does running a business selling goods you want to buy make them "greedy" and "profiteering"? And if they own the area why can't they put their displays or tables and chairs out? It's hardly a trip hazard is it? And since when was Christmas a scam? If you don't like it, don't buy anything.

Maybe you misread..

Making excessive money, charging unreasonably high prices.

Greedy as not using their excessive profits to upkeep their pavement within their curtilage that their customers use to hand over silly money

They can, and do, in an attempt to sucker in more people to pay extortionate prices/have space to oversell more crap to increase profiteering profits so why cant they use part of their profits to fix up their pavements for which theyre responsible hence they can put all types of crap on it as they own it


>And since when was Christmas a scam?


Since these greedy profiteering capatalist shopkeeps started having xmas trails, donkeys etc in another cynical attempt at wheedling more money out of you whilst still not repairing or maintaining the pavements in good order. You know, the pavements that they are responsible for!


I recall a while ago the furore created by ED because a black man, the owner of a black business now and again placed a car for sale on his bit of the pavement, that he owned. The car was not a problem, the pavement was maintained etc yet EDFERS contacted barber, the council etc and got this stopped even though no problem. I wonder why that was??? But a mobile chicken roastting van outside a shop is not a problem is it?


Pavement in disrepair that is the responsibility of the shopkeeps is now being called for to be an issue for the council and not the shop??? I suspect that the edefers calling for barber and council to repair paving that is not their responsibility using local tax revenue are actually greedy profiteering business owners using forum poster identities so they do not have to fulfill their freehold/leasehold responsibilty.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
