Due to an earlier incident this evening in the Peckham area, and to prevent further violence, a Section 60 has been authorised by a senior Police officer covering SE21, SE22, SE5 and SE15. This will last 24 hours expiring at 18.40 tomorrow Friday 09 October.


What does this mean?

The Police can stop and search anyone in these designated areas / postcodes.

Yes. This is from today's police briefing note:At six o'clock on Thursday, October 8th, 2020, we were called to a moped rider firing a

handgun in Gowlett Road, SE15.


Local and specialist firearms officers responded. There are no reported injuries, but the

attending officers found evidence of a firearm discharge. A crime scene is in place while

detectives begin their investigation.

Not in my view - It's quieter now than it used to be 10 years ago (but that could be me).

    • 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.
