"Money taken from the poorest kids and given to the richest adults, no questions asked.


"Gutless, heartless, incompetent." Nick Clegg March 2008 speech


I posted this in the friends of goose green section to point out that they (the executive) can obviously find money for the 180grand fence, new refurbed play area and 5mill for the ED swimming pool - yet the livesey gets it.


Then my post go deleted ? Either the lib Dems have infiltrated the EDF at admin level or the chinese goverment are taking a keen interest ....so much for saying what you see.

Ok so this is the 4th time i tried to post and it keeps getting deleted. Does anyone elese think that it is a bit rich that they shut the livesey due to funding issues yet are about to spend a load of money on removing the very expensive fence in Goose Green ? It seems very odd that the Livesey gets the chop yet spending in ED carries on regardless.


"Money taken from the poorest kids and given to the richest adults, no questions asked.


"Gutless, heartless, incompetent."


That is a quote from Nick Cleggs speech yesterday, obviously about other issues but to me it does seem to relate to some of the decisions taken in Southwark - Every time I post this it gets taken down and i get accused of hijacking the Forum. last time i looked a forum was defined as such.


"A public meeting place for open discussion."


We should have gone for a judicial review, i wish i had known we could.

CWALD's post says you have three months to launch a JR from the date of the decision which I would guess is 20 Feb. If the friends are interested I'm sure that it would be possible to raise 400 quid if there was an indication it might succeed - maybe the council minutes might give a clue? My knowledge of the relevant law has already run out though.


Whilst it may be a different thread, I live in ED and I am utterly disgusted by the use of my money to remove Goose Green fencing.

This was just on the Popbitch newsletter... so not sure how true it is...

Livesey Museum for Children has been shut by Southwark

Council. Rio and Anton Ferdinand's mum is a big

supporter, so Southwark residents are hoping the

footballers get behind the campaign to keep it open.

    • 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
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
