There has been an abandoned Seat Ibiza left dangerously in the middle of the junction of Hindmans and Tyrell road. It has been there since last Wednesday night, so one week and counting.


The car was abandoned after an uninsured driver rear ended the back of my parked car, causing substantial damage. The female driver then reversed into another car that had stopped behind her, pulled forward and then reversed into a 3rd car parked on the other side of Tyrell rd. The police were informed last week as were the council.


The fact that this car is still sat in the middle of the road says a lot about the state of our local services, both the police and the council. The response time has been beyond pathetic, and this car has remained in the middle of a junction causing a risk to other road users.


If this car is familiar to anyone on here please contact me via PM thanks.

It has police tape on it saying "Do not attempt to move"


As I say, it's been there a week, both the council and the police have known it's there for a week. I reported it last Thursday, so has another resident. My car was hit by this car. They just can't get their shit together to get it moved.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
