The people at Green Lanes got a petition of over 200 names and successfully defended themselves against three applications. I am sure if the councillors saw the local opposition they may start worrying about their seatsif they allow this to be granted. other than that everyone can write to the council licensing department like you do for planning.

I am sure Wiliam Hill and Ladbrokes will be doing something about it. I will speak to them tomorrow.

I can understand the need/demand for another betting shop if the existing ones were so crowded you couldn't get anymore people in. There are enough opportunities to gamble down LL if you include the Lottery, Rivoli amusement arcade, Ladbrokes. The article in the Guardian raises the point of exposure. The William Hill is already massive, the Woolwich is of comparable size. To pay the rent they will be under cutting each other promoting the feeling of no risk gambling with inducements and special offers. The existing gambling venues always look empty bar one man and his dog, has any one seen anyone in the Rivoli?

And replace them with what? Oh right, a job centre for all the poor buggers who'd be jobless. Very working class hero ????.


What would you say if Blockbusters were to open next to Prime Time?


All most of us want are shops that either enhance the Lane (SMBS et al) or at least don't drag it back to the grotty ol days. At least then I suppose we could reply to a thread about all the half empty bookies in ED suggesting we shut them all down.......

You can object to the grant of this licence application if you can be classed as an interested party e.g a local resident or a local business that will be affected by it. To do so you will need to write to Southwark Licensing Service, C/O Environmental Health and Trading Services, The Chaplin Centre, Thurlow Street, London, SE17 2DG by the 18th of January 2008. Your objection must meet one or more of the three licensing objectives i.e Keeping Gambling Crime Free; Making Sure that Gambling is Fair and Open; Protecting Children and Vulnerable Persons. Subject to your objection being received by the due date you can also attend at the Local Authority Licensing Committee Meeting that will decide the application and give verbal evidence. Such action by local people has been successful under the new legislation. People in support of the application have a similar right of representation under the same criteria. The Statutory Notice currently affixed to the frontage of the premises gives similar information. It is a matter for local people to decide whether they want another betting ofice or not and take the appropriate action by the 18th January 2008. After that the opportunity is lost.

oh Ant - that's like catnip to some people


"I often see the restuarants and bars emty as well, we should close them down too" etc etc


ignoring the fact that they are often rammed as well (and therefore a very different proposition to betting shops)

Ant, if you are opposed to it you have the opportunity to make your views heard by the LOcal Authority but the clock is ticking. Same goes for anybody else who is against it or for it.

Trouble is the retail mentality. No diversity, if you own a betting shop nd you want to open another one where better than near another betting shop. Why do you think there are so many Estate Agents and restaurants? Why do people go to Brick Lne (or LL for that matter) for a curry. Pigeons and car parks.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
