In short: M&S is coming, and Iceland is on a month-to-month rolling contract, I expect M&S within 12 months.


From my understanding:


Iceland lease coming up for renewal. M&S put in a pitch for taking it over but invest little in this pitch.


Pitch rejected for technical reasons (conversion of offices above into flats or somesuch).


New pitch being deliberated by Southwark as this is being typed. No idea of timescales.


This could be completely wrong and this may be the start of another 10 mile trhead...

I'd guess a large number of the particpants and readers are just in it for sh*ts and giggles.


Others like near neighbours are directly affected.


A few like or loathe M&S for what it is percieved to stand for.


But most probably have a genuine interest in which supermarket is on their high street, and their interest in the EDF is limited to these sorts of issues (i.e. they don't log in to debate the meaning of life, just to find out what's going on in their 'hood).


In short they've got a life, but outside the EDF.

pff, having read the other thread, it appears that when M&S displace Iceland the local population will halve within a week as financially challenged individuals starve to death, withering away under the misapprehension that there is no-where else within ED to purchase affordable food.

It seems that the standard way to put someone down with whom you disagree or who has shown an interest in something in which you aren't interested is to adopt the massive overused put down "Get a life" - this suggests that you have a more interesting life than a person whom you consider to be a poor sad barsteward and that somehow you are morally superior to him/her.


To which I say "If the thread is so boring, why are you wasting time reading it?" - or "How about not reading the thread and spending the day spending your valuable time doing else more productive?"


In short DF, many people *are* interested in the M&S saga. You aren't being forced to contribute to this discussion.

      Where have the swifts gone ?

      By ianr · Posted

      Incidentally, Southwark seems to have possibly adopted a requirement of swift boxes in new-builds anyway, and I think they're not the only LA to have done so. I recently added to to my post in https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/342208-free-swift-nest-box-installation-in-se22/#comment-1703954, the edit:- [ 30/4/25, 18/6/25  ETA To answer my own question: I see that 4 swift nesting boxes were actually  required at an earlier stage of that same developments application.  In the 4/4/25 Decision Notice of  application 24/AP/3740 is: "8. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the swift bricks details approved under 24/AP/3596 unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority ]

      Wanted: Sturdy Moving/Storage Cardboard Boxes

      By mmak · Posted

      Hi, I'm after some free moving boxes in good used/reusable condition. Large, Medium and small size and any packing spare materials you might want to pass on. Reduce, reuse, recycle. I'm not moving home for a few months, so if something comes up later on, please do DM me. I will keep this post open/active until found. Many thanks

      Temporary traffic lights on East Dulwich Grove

      By ed_pete · Posted

      Anyone know why temporary lights were put in on East Dulwich Grove on Sunday but as of 8am this morning no works are evident ? I imagine works are planned but have been delayed but the team putting in the lights have gone ahead anyway. 🙄 Just as well Alleyns and JAGS have finished...

      A bit like Levi Bellfield. It's not a good look.
