Dear SimonM,


Off topic I know but anyway, from your previous posting I can tell that you live down my end of the street (I also received an apologetic leaflet) I've recently spotted several cars cruising our street very slowly with people with laptops trying to piggyback onto unsecured wireless networks, had one on mine till I spotted him parked up. I had assumed they were just looking for free Internet access until I saw some scare mongering documentary about Internet crooks stealing all your details. My network is now tight as a badger?s wotsit. Anyway,just thought I'd be neighbourly n all, as Police 5's Shaun Taylor would say 'Keep 'em peeled'.

I had been trying to remember what that Cafe was called!!! I used to love it in there when hungover and in need of grease, but now it's "The Uplands Cafe", it just doesn't seem the same!

    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.
