Following on from matters discussed in page 1 of the yet more gun crime thread...


I heard today from Richard Thomas ([email protected]) that new street lighting on Landells Road is a question of when and not if. And it sounds as if improved street lighting is on the cards for other streets in ED as well, although he didn't specifically name any others.

I've just contacted Richard Thomas about lack of lollipop person on Barry Road/Goodrich Road. If anyone else on the forum has kids that use that crossing then please put pressure on schools and local councillors to find out why there is no one there. Lovely Fred retired and has not been replaced. There was an accident at the crossing at 8.45 this morning as loads of kids were going to school.Bit scarey.

Not nice. That's just when I'm usually crossing with my toddler and baby.


Perhaps they could move a lollipop man over from the Townley road/LL junction. Having two policing a junction half of which is controlled by traffic lights always seems a bit ott. Or are they employed directly by Alleyns?

I have just seen the draft list of East Dulwich ward streets to have new lighting in this financial year which are Crebor Street, Cyrena Road, Derwent Grove, Elsie Road, Henslowe Road, Lacon Road, Oxonian Street, Pellatt Road, Ulverscroft Road and Whateley Road.

    • 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."
