I recently heard Melbourne Tyres has now closed down. 

I'm sure many people have used this service or sought advice from Joey, the owner, since opening  40+ years ago.  He'll be missed. 

The builder mentioned it would be reopening shortly as a new shop

Another useful  local service gone...A great loss.

It's true. Drivers will now have to travel as far as...about 150 feet to the huge Kwik-Fit across the road if they want to get tyres fitted.

Dulwich needs more coffee shops,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Could do with a nice affordable greasy spoon type set up since Maria at the Grove cafe moved on. Dulwich cafe now also gone. They were great little places and always a familiar face or two about when we paid our weekly visits.

Can't help you with the introduction to Joey, but just a random word of thanks to you @Herbie Russell Southwark News! Your name is on a lot of the Southwark News articles that get posted on here. There's no local democracy or local community without local media, so thank you for what you do! 👍

Hi Herbie

A friend has contacted him and he's declined to be interviewed.

Good news, rubberlovers!

The shop has reopened as Dulwich Tyres & Car Services. 020 8299 6467. It seems very busy.

I wouldn't believe your radio @zork...

Please @Administrator could the title be changed to "Dulwich Tyres opens at old Melbourne Tyres location" or similar, when you have a moment?

  • Agree 1
  • Administrator changed the title to Melbourne Tyres closed down (Update: Dulwich Tyres opens in its place)

      Up the reform

      Up the reform

      By Angelina · Posted

      the reason Tories have lost votes is because they have lost trust primarily. the voters didn't vote for what the Tories did, but what they promised. you can't blame the voters for the outcome, just because they voted for the party. Labour are in a position of influence so we will have to see what they do.  Reform are there, as quite a presence should Labour continue to fail. It feels as if we are on a very thin line

      Up the reform

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      I agree with that The voters authorised strong austerity in 2010 and kept voting for it for 14 years - for that reason alone, given Labour have been in power for only months I can't find my else able to equate them as bad as each other. Yet. It may happen and given Labour's poor decision making and comms to date I wouldn't be surprised if they end up that way Problem is the voters say they want one thing (lower prices/better public services/things working) but then don't reward any government that tries to deliver -  and they explicitly said they wanted higher prices with Brexit and lower public services by voting Cons in for 14 years - so they got what they wanted, they just don't like the reality Whoever is elected now has to find a way to address those years of underinvestment and diminished growth - there is no painless way out. But blaming immigration for everything (Reform speciality) is only making everything worse

      That’s good to know, but it just wasn’t clear to me.
