Have just been to Iceland.. It was packed out. Ironic.


Lots of talk about the closing and oddly enough not many people knew it was going. ?


There are far more people in East Dulwich than are on EDF.


It would seem most if not all staff are being located to other stores. I.E. Old Kent Rd. / Walworth Rd.

So that's good people are not losing their jobs.


I suspect M&S will do well even without my patronage... I don't think they will miss me.

Bermygirl, the primary objection is not to M&S. Some people would have preferred Iceland to stay but I don't think anyone is losing sleep over it.


The issues are with the scale and density of the development above the retail space. There are also real and valid concerns about increased delivery times by extremely large vehicles, less turning space/ access and safety re the last point. If you visit the site and view the damaged bollard that sits at the entrance, you will have a better understanding about those concerns.

Why do we actually 'Need' one. (M&S) ?


We have all survived for ever without one. No body died.

Grrr man stop it! Anyone taking the application as an objection seriously is not referring to which ever company moves in to the site! It is he development proposed plain and simple.

Attitudes like yours are irrevelant and just tiring

There has been a lot of very noisy activity on the old Iceland site today.


Does anyone know what happened with the penthouse application?


The people living in the flats must have gone, but it should be noted that those floors cannot be used as office space as they have been inhabited for the last few years.

Yes, M$S fine, no quibble with that but the proposal to add another story plonk a penthouse on top is somewhat different, if as many if us suspect, the aim is to avoid a social housing quota. James Barber had said the last application would be called in and so. I am wondering if this has happened or what the latest is?

James Barber said the additional floor application (taking it up to four stories) was to be called in. He has not declared on the forum if this has happened yet and if it has qhat the result was; if it has not when is it to be called in.


He said it was to be called in quite some time ago but silence since.


It would be good to know if a fourth floor with penthouses is to be a added to the existing floors and whether the application for the other floors to be offices will stand?


Note an earlier application was passed for 8 flats in the area that on the current application is marked out for offices (thereby giving housing in the form of two penthouses only).


So 8 flats on three floors has been passed over by the developer in favour of two penthouses on four floors, with floors 2 and 3 for offices.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By malumbu · Posted

      @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit

      I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.

      Andy did a number of jobs for me and was very reasonably priced. He's very helpful, arrives on time, pays attention to detail and a nice man. I'll be using him again and recommending him to my friends.
