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.

Exactly!

Hey everyone,

I'm a reporter at Southwark News. Am keen to get in touch with Joey to write a story about the business. Does anyone have a good contact for him? If so, please could you email me at [email protected]?

Thanks,
Herbie

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)

    • Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo  
    • Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.
    • Enjoying the nostalgia and memories.  As with others, we get ours through Milk and More (is part of big co, so there is that against it, but it's hardly a secret/niche thing) - returnable glass bottles of milk, orange juice, yoghurt, and much more besides (as per the name). And yes it comes in the middle of the night in an electric vehicle. So can still get out nostalgia fix, doubled when the Riverford chap comes too. 
    • This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
