Due to the storm local parks may be locked tomorrow.


Note from Southwark pasted below.



Dear Tennis players,


I wanted to make you aware that there is a strong likelihood that we will be closing some of our parks (the lockable ones) tomorrow due to the risk of danger to residents from tree and branch fall as Storm Eunice moves across the south east. The safety of our park users is a priority and this precautionary action is in line with the council's Tree Risk Management Strategy and best practice relating to high winds.


The aim is to reopen the parks that have been locked, and tennis activities, on Saturday subject to safety checks and any clearance works that are required. Not knowing the extent of the damage and debris that might be caused we are unable to judge how much time it will take for parks to be cleared, so court bookings will be cancelled on Saturday in case venues have not been cleared / reopened earlier. Court bookers within this time will be cancelled and refunded automatically. Anyone that might be affected outside of this time can request a refund by emailing [email protected] with photo evidence of the issue preventing play.




As is always the case with the weather, things may change over the course of the next 24 hours and the best way to stay in touch with developments is via the council social media channels. We invite you to share these posts more widely.


Our tree service team, tree contractors and grounds maintenance team will be on standby to deal with any issues as we will be keen to get back to normal service as soon as possible.


If you have any questions please contact the sports email - [email protected]


I appreciate your patience and understanding at this potentially busy time.

      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."
