We have a petition say no to caffe nero. They opened the cafe without planning permission and are now trying to get people to make the council allow them to carry on. Since they opened have they not been trading illegally they have been earning a lot of money which is illegal. they should have got permission first. they have come into this area with no regard for the people they ride rufshod over the council who we elected not them. if they are allowed to carry on trading they are saying that we do not need a planning department and other developers will follow the lead. we need to make a stand this is our community and borough. please go to the say-no-to-caffe- nero and lets make them know whos area this is.
I seriously hope you have your facts right. My objection is that East Dulwich is great because it has very few high street chains in it. The best way to keep it maintained as such is not to use them. I only go to small concerns and avoid larger chain stores. eg Sommerfields, Caffe Nero, Foxtons and that dreary clothing place opposite Foxtons are all good examples.

    • I just checked the Southwark Council website and it stated:   All responses to the consultation will be recorded and a ‘consultation findings’ report will be published once feedback has been reviewed. The review process involves collating feedback from a number of council teams and external agencies - the aim will be to publish the report as soon as possible after the consultation has closed and no later than the 31 January 2026. The report will be published on this site. The use of bold type on the date is the Council's, not mine. They are late. I wonder why?
    • I would also like to recommend Leon, who completed an EICR inspection for us. He kept us informed of his arrival time on the day and arrived promptly as promised. He was knowledgeable and clear about what work was required. I would happily recommend him and would not hesitate to use his services again.
    • It's not far from Lordship Lane if you cut down Ashbourne Grove/Melbourne Grove. Depends where you start from, I guess!
    • I doubt if it was something special - it has been full a few times I've been recently and when I have been able to get a space I've been lucky and bagged the only one available. I think there are only around 15 general spaces. Others are for staff, blue badge holders or EVs. I guess in winter people are more likely to drive, it wouldn't take much to fill all the spaces with the different things going on at the surgery/pharmacy such as blood tests, picking up prescriptions. It's possible a lot of the cars are in and out in 15 mins, i've not monitored it closely. This morning with all spaces filled when I arrived there were a couple of cars loitering in the hope of a space becoming available. I didn't want to risk it. As has been said, you can drive in and out and be caught on camera and not get a ticket but I'm not sure what the grace period is, if there is one.  Like you, I don't think a significant number of people are parking there to go shopping - it's too far from Lordship Lane as I found out this morning when i had to run from LL to Tessa Jowell! i guess the car parking spaces just can't cope with the number of legit drivers using Tessa Jowell and if that's the case not a lot can be done about it.
