Is the Co-Op closing down?

Was day 2 (at least) of the Bucharest-circa-'84 look. That place is a shambles. The staff are OK but the management = sheesh. Aircon blasting out on the coldest of days; slimey produce in the expiry-due area; fridge cabinet doors that never lock (because they are left like that to help staff load them more easily). I love the CoOp as an ideal and would like it to thrive but the examples we have in SE22 are not good ones.

That store has pole position on LL so would be interesting to see who might be interested. Too big for a Waitrose local maybe? And with M&S now present too? So sad that the CoOp there is so rubbish in many ways as so many people are supporters of their concept and history.

That's the classic line! They had a refit not long ago. Has to be shutting. I give it until the end of March.

Co-op steps up closures earmarking 300 stores


The Co-op has appointed advisers to help sell off about 300 more of its unwanted shops as it tries to raise funds to improve the rest of the chain

Much as I really really want to support the CoOp, their current offerings on Lordship Lane are terrible.


And sadly it isn't just that store, as I went to one in Oxford recently and that was terrible too.


Where are they getting their fruit and veg from? The quality is appalling :(

It will take more than a "major renovation" to make the Lordship Lane store viable, surely?


After the last renovation, they were giving out five pound (if memory serves) vouchers one Saturday in Lordship Lane, and telling people there were lots of "new lines" to spend them on.


We could see nothing new at all, though grateful for the unexpected dosh obvs, and since then things seem to have just plummeted (sp?) downhill.


It needs more efficient management, proper stock control, more competitive pricing and better quality fresh goods.


Those issues won't be covered by "renovation", will they?


I hardly go there any more, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.


M&S sometimes has lots of empty shelves and I can't get what I want, especially at the weekend, but at least on the whole they have good quality food which is keenly priced.

      I have had multiple jobs completed at my home by T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, and I wouldn't go to anyone else now. They always come at the agreed day/time, I have never been asked to rearrange. The jobs have always been completed to extremely high standards, and as a perfectionist myself, I appreciate this level of care and detail. I'm grateful of the clear up afterward too, leaving me very little to do after the job is done. I am always blown away by the speed and efficiency  - no waffle, no flannel, just sheer hard work from start to finish. In summary - a highly professional first class service. Don't hesitate to call T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, if you like excellence and trade people that will respect your home.

      Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.
