Hi all.


We're a little concerned about the increasing amount of advertising on the wall of Londis on North Cross Road.


Originally there was a general advertisement. Next came a Panther Cars one. We've nothing against Panther Cars, we use them as our primary cab company. Now there's an even bigger Glazer Delmar advertisement. We've been told by a reliable source that it is expected that the entire wall will be sold as advertising space. We understand that companies on North Cross Road need exposure but at what point will these adverts become an eye sore?


We'd like to know residents' and other business' view on this matter. We're concerned that very soon, all you'll be able to see from the windows of The Palmerston is advertising. The wall is no thing of beauty but it's rather more appealing that a wall of adverts.


Your views, pro, anti or indifferent please.


Thanks,

Andrew1011

As far as I know commercial advertising hoardings are subject to planning permission (I hope so, anyway). I've been concerned at the apparent proliferation of advertisements on walls in ED, and another new advertising board (for a taxi firm) appears to be on Zenoria Street at the junction with Lordship Lane.

I walk past there most days and tbh I've never noticed them. They certainly didn't grab my attention, but I'll notice them now that the Palmerston has thoughtfully pointed them out.


They don't bother me though, unless they start displaying ladies (or lads) in states of undress, which seems to be mandatory these days to advertise anything from garden manure to solicitors' services. Then I'll join any picket going.


Edited to add - The Palmerston can take its pick of other unlovely things than can be seen (or smelt) from inside it, such as

- runoff water from the smelly fish van

- the Iceland 'eyesore'

- the smokers slowly pickling themselves outside the Palmerston itself

Massive illuminated advertising hoarding on two sides of the building.


There's a thread about it on here somewhere.

If we don't keep an eye Advertising will spread onto every surface. The advertisers are always looking for new places to put billboards. We don't want East Dulwich to look like Tokyo. So please don't bury your heads in the sand and hope your local environment will always be nice - it takes work.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.

      @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
