Sorry to get in late on the discussion. Just to be clear, my only 'interest' is that I live in the area. Along with other locals, I have followed the progress of this application quite closely and I am mildly puzzled that no decision is yet forthcoming, despite statements that a decision has been reached. So, if my persistent strikes you as odd chillaxed, be assured, I have no hidden agenda.

Get out of what exactly?


Just to be clear, I'm just curious (as I said). Sorry, but I don't give enough of a ?$%^ to engage in this any further.


Cheers.

Cool, thanks.

OK, I lied, I will engage.


I'm not being ironic. I simply stated that my curiousity in first mate's interest was not enough to motivate me to engage in a debate with you about my motives. I don't really get off on debate like some on the EDF.


But it seems I do give enough of one to point this out.

so, it is refused again, presumably because it is the same mishmash of nonsense as before. if m&s are so keen, why don't they lead the freeholder by the hand (or nose) and guide him through the intricacies of writing a proper application? james barber says he does not know the identity of the applicant, but I am sure m&s do. james also says waitrose are wiulling to move into the site as is. better solution all round then!

Typical bloody Daily Mail, obsessed with house prices to the exclusion of almost everything else, with the possible exception of "Voting Labour Gives You Cancer" type scare stories. Next week - "House Prices Fall The Nearer You Are To Aldi"?

Aren't you the same Louisa who posted a number of comments in this thread recently?

Just read the notes on the appeal. They have a pretty strong case, I wouldn't be surprised if they succeeded. And also, lets not forget the change of use application on the former crown house on east dulwich road. Maybe waitrose?

I think it's at 9am at Council offices at Tooley St. I wonder why James Barber hasn't asked for the meeting to be moved to a more local venue and at a more convenient time as it is such an important issue?? I seem to recall he did this for the Great Exhibition outside seating debacle.

Edited for spelling.

Why is it so important? They have these small format stores with limited access across London - and in areas with greater footfall than LL could ever dream of. If I were m&s I'd give up with this area and go somewhere you'd be much more appreciated without all this fuss.

    • But Thatcher is dead. Nobody since has brought the utilities back under public ownership (if that's the right term). So there are many people who could be blamed. Meanwhile the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets increasing bills and a poorer service. Plus as said above, a massive waste of a limited resource like water. Not to mention the polluted rivers and seas. At least the privatisation of the railways is being reversed. Hopefully water may be on the list somewhere.
    • That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.
    • Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.
    • Blame Margaret Thatcher - she started the privatization of public utilities.
