New shop - corner Forest Hill Road & Dunstans Road

Visited the recipease store in Clapham Junction last week.

It would be great if we had one (or something like it) in ED

The white wall at the side of the property in question had large and ugly tagging on it the other day. I was about to report it to the council (which would then approach the owner and offer to remove it for them) but the day after I passed by and the graffiti had been painted over, so thanks to the owners for doing that.

I believe there are a number of hair-cutterists in East Dulwich.

[achilles1]

heard it was going to be a brothel ???????????

[neilson99]

Good on them having a go and good luck.

What happened to the ?400k renovations to the street furniture along this stretch of Forest Hill Road?

[alice]

wasn't half that spent on the psychedelic substation?

[fleur]

Blimey, I hope 400K wasn't spent on painting bollards outside the shops. I have noticed the aerosol man has started up again recently. I hope the street gets tidied up a little and bins are sorted out by the time the new hairdressers gets it's grand opening.

[the-e-dealer]

Silliness.

Paving or tarmacking the whole of that stretch - from the barber's down to the new shop on the corner of Dunstan's Road - in a uniform way would be a big help and not that difficult. Of course, you'd have to stop the motorists who ride the pavement and park outside the shops (usually the betting shop and the launderette) otherwise it'd get damaged all over again. Anyone know whether driving over the pavement - which seems to the be a thin strip of paving that then gives way to the odd assortment of tarmac in front of various properties - is legal?

[sunbob]

I think that the assorted surfaces are due to those sections belonging to the shops/buildings, rather than being part of the pavement. If that is the case then I believe you may put a car or something else on your own land, but you don't necessarily have the right of way across the pavement to get it there. Typically I think a dropped kerb would indicate right of way.

[the-e-dealer]

I gather the council has squandered 46p on replacing a light bulb - TWICE!

Does anyone know what the old driving school next the the Herne is going to be - noticed a lot of activity going on there too!

That work seems to have been going on for ages - and is being conducted at a snail's pace! The state of the pavement is always really muddy around there now as well.

P.s. Just checked council website - sounds like it's going to be a dental surgery:

Location: 4 FOREST HILL ROAD, LONDON, SE22 0RR

Proposal: Details of the proposed new shopfront as required by Condition 7 of planning permission 12-AP-1161 for: (Change of use of ground floor and basement commercial premises from a driving school (Use Class A2) into a dental surgery (Use Class D1) involving the installation of a new shopfront and the erection of a two-storey rear extension with enlarged lightwell).

[acresser]

Disappointing...I really want a deli or a butchers to pop up! Thanks for the info though!

[the-e-dealer]

We need more Dentists

[kimling]

nice to see the highstreets not dead

[apples]

Not more dentists - I think it could be the same East Dulwich dentists a couple of doors from there moving somewhere new

[the-e-dealer]

So who is moving into the Old Dentists? ..... Curry House? Estate (Crooked) Agents

[apples]

A driving school perhaps?

[the-e-dealer]

Diving school that's what we need

[neilson99]

I just saw Tom Daley in The French Cafe. Fact.

[the-e-dealer]

Who?

Pity it only got 2 on the Cleanliness Test.

[rye_lass]

Does anyone know if this hairdressers is going to open any time soon?

Fingers crossed for an Ann Summers. I have to travel miles for my various bits and bobs.
