Pavement Lordship Lane

[Grok]

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.

The strip of pavement kerbside is the responsibility of the local council.

If a shop/business has an outside space the demarcation between what it owns and what the council owns is usually marked in the pavement, studs being a common way to show the division...

Its obvious where profiteers pavement starts/ends and where council tax payers pavement starts/ends. Try looking, not hard. Greedy profiteering businesses pay up and fix your front pavements and stop putting your customers h&s at risk.

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.

Most of the really expensive shops have quite swanky frontaages

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

> if they own the area why can't they put their displays or tables and chairs out?

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.

Fair enough, donkeys are a step too far

It doesn't... it's just that Grok cannot resist an opportunity to be unpleasant and talk crap.
