empty retail units on LS lane

[spanglysteve]

of course all we need is for a few consecutive empty units to appear then we can have our holy grail a big fantastic waitrose, assuming they were not scared off by the brick through the palmerston during "the ED riots" ;-) (I apologise I couldn't resist, I'll now run a mile!)

the shop that use to be a chemist on lordship lane is going to be a new shop for selling reading glasses ...

and as of the old threashers it can only be a shop that sells drink as that is the licence of that unit..

Seriously who cares about an empty retail unit, you must have some sad existence if that is what you worry about, get a life you loser

[Penguin68]

A single retail unit, empty for a short time, is never going to be an issue; multiple units, empty for a long time, is. If an empty unit is filled by a pound shop, by a charity shop, by a pawn shop, this tells you something about the way an area is trending, which does have an impact on other shops and their desire to stay, on property values, sometimes even on crime figures.

All of these things impact on quality of life, if you are local. Lordship Lane transformed over the last 25 years or so, we lost some excellent shops (and many more dogs) - but gained a lot of shops which have added to the local quality of life (and local house prices).

Concerns about these things do not (necessarily) mark out the losers amongst us.

Gratuitous insults might.

Carl Cooper's comments are worthless and written deliberately to insult. I wouldn't waste my time.
