Recommended Posts

Sharing just a sample of the lovely feedback our project The Aspinall Road Community Gardens London SE4 5SQ received in 2020, all is much appreciated.


Kim Short, ?I would just like to say a big THANKYOU to all the volunteers (and engineers) who have made the community gardens for us all to enjoy. I used to always avoid Aspinall Road and now I would go out of my way to pass it. It lifts my spirits every time, even on the greyest of days!?


Shelley James ?Walked past the big planters the other day and it put a big smile on my face, love what you have done!?


Jane Keane: 'Well done to you all - what a.great team effort!'

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,ย  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. ย 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: ย "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network. ย 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...ย  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competitionย  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.ย  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
