Chemist move is zero to do with the street changes and everything to do with them moving to the health centre - they were previously linked to the dr surgery on Melbourne Grove - both have moved into Tessa Jowell.


Callows is now on the main road but seems to have quickly sold the lease. The barbers closed and was immediately re let to Art K.


The other hairdresser seemed to have some falling out with the landlord and couldn't agree a commercial rent that worked for them - assume the landlord has someone else lined up now as its under offer.


If these units were remaining empty you'd have a point, but with the exception of the chemist they're not - also not sure whats happeningi re the chemist as there are plans to build on the old health centre.

Judging by your posts goldilocks you live in one of the shut down roads and don't care about what effects it has on the rest of us so long as you are ok!

Its not a 'lets see' - factually they have been sold or re-let with the exception of the Chemist I think - though i've no idea if that is even up for reletting re the development plans. Its a shame though as its a big unit and being boarded up does the street no favours and makes it look shabby.

No One said it was a 'retail boom' - just that the units weren't sitting empty, which indicates that the landlords putting up rent were infact right in terms of what businesses are willing to pay.


Someone did obviously start this thread to say that the street was being decimated by the filters - obviously this is just totally untrue given the rapid relets.

I think it would be interesting to answer though...there are many closed roads, so it will not identify.. I suspect it is a yes 'I do live in an LTN' and yes 'I have a large house, a car and a garden' and yes 'I drive on ED Grove', but of course it's a forum and we are all allowed some privacy..although someone recently did tell me where I was located on ED Grove...but got it wrong...so swings and roundabouts..

From chatting to some Melbourne Grove retail owners, I have been told that the local Councillors are ambivalent and the residents want them all to go and have one 'nice' coffee shop and no businesses that attract school-kids. Charming!

If 'someone said' it, then it most definitely must be true...

Well, given Southwark?s planning policy is not to have hot food takeaways within 400m of a school, they see it as a health policy issue but don?t, as far as I can tell, have powers to close down existing takeaway businesses, you can see why they might not leap to the defence of any hot food takeaway businesses in Melbourne Grove.

@Heartblock - just pasting what you actually said here:

It was the 'I have been told' element that made me deduce that you were telling a story where someone said something!

The primary function of quotation marks is to represent exact language (either spoken or written) that has come from somebody else, but I like the way you wrote 'then it most definitely must be true...' , which I deduce is a rather unsubtle way of intimating that I am lying. I think that says quite a lot and again embeds my view.

      Peckham Manor School

      By Desmond Lewis · Posted

      Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Pugwash · Posted

      One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By Jasonlondon · Posted

      Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By Monkey · Posted

      Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
