Does anyone know how much one load costs to wash and dry at Bellenden Road laundromat, and if one load is significantly larger than a domestic washer?


My washing machine has packed in and, whilst I wait for my landlord to send an engineer, I am looking at using a local laundromat to save me from piles of dirty laundry!

From my own perspective many affordable and useful shops in "Bellenden Village" were lost a long while ago. What there is now represents want the new residents want and willing to pay for goods.


This is true of many ordinary local areas


Sad if true the laundromat might be going.

Laundrettes have been under a lot of pressure between the cheapness of domestic washing machines, COVID, rising energy prices and rising land prices. Apparently the number in the UK fell by ⅓ between 2017 and 2022.

I believe it is the laundromat on lordship lane that is closing due to owner passing away.


Still interested in the comparison between a service wash (wash and dry)- £10-12 and what is costs at home


Yes I know I should be able to work it out but I am a dunce!!

 

Is it (the Lordship Lane one) definitely closing down as I saw somewhere that it wasn’t.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
