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,

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.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s

      The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.

      Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
