I have just had two gentleman dressed in hi-viz waistcoats knock at the door and ask if I had received this month's SE22 magazine. I replied that I had upon which they asked for my signiature as proof that I had received it.


I declined to give my signature.


Can anyone confirm if the request is kosher?

It's not unusual for a council or a company to check that their material is being delivered. They pay for the deliveries so there's an interest in making sure they are delivered. The Hi-Viz jackets are what sound strange to me. Did the hi-viz jackets have Southwark Council written on them? And did they have ID. If they were legit they certainly would have had ID. Best to call Southwark Council to confirm if they had anyone in the area today. Also what were they asking you to sign? Did you read it?
I run SE22 and I do ask them to do back checks if someone who usually gets the mag says they haven't received. Sorry if this has caused a problem but I do appreciate when people can confirm they got it. If you have any issues please feel free to email at Angela@semagazines.co.uk

    • The person behind the till won't know about whether or not an assignment of their lease has been purchased by a company like Tesco.  Poundland was sold for a nominal fee so it's unsurprising that the location may close soon. As well, for what it's worth, someone working in the shop is likely to have their job impacted by the shop closing, so having loads of people going and asking them about the potential closing of their shop isn't really nice. "Hey, hear you'll be out of a job soon. Know much about that?" The best resource you all should be using for queries about planning details of new shops is the council's website. As was stated on the first page of this post, there's an application lodged for multiple changes at 29-35 Lordship Lane with the client as Tesco. They wouldn't lodge these plans unless it was happening, or at least extremely likely to happen.    The application is on the council's website here: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=SVW246KBKF500&activeTab=summary 
    • It's a notice about a licence, but the only name on it is Poundland.
    • What did the notice on the front door say? The planning applications currently being considered clearly refer to Tesco Stores Ltd.  The signage for above the entrance says "Tesco Express". I can't imagine the two companies combining in the same space 😉  
    • I will find out. Haven't been up there yet!
