Hi yeknomyeknom.


I spoke at length with one of the designers from the architect firm who have been appointed.


She was great to talk to and I was very impressed with her knowledge not only of the building designs but also of the local area.


I did ask if I could take photos of the plans but at this stage they are not in the public domain but will be once officially submitted for planning permission. So all eyes on the council planning web site!


Vic :)

I am totally in favour of the project, and can't wait for it to happen. My only query is about the viability of the seating at the front of the building, as shown in that image. Hard to imagine actually sitting in that quite narrow space, enjoying a cup of English Breakfast, while traffic whizzes up and down LL, and passers-by pass by a few inches away.


Otherwise, a resounding thumbs-up from me.

- You don't have to imagine it, just look at Lucas, The Palmerston, The Bishop, The EDT to name but a few. It's already happening!

Hi Louisa. The rooftop terrace is actually more of a greenspace accessed only via a store room. The proposal is for that space to be used for planting to meet the needs of the cafe(salad leaves, herbs, etc). The area backs on to residential gardens and bedrooms so probably not a great idea to have a drinking area out there! B

Seems to have brought about a rare forum consensus - hurrah!


I'm even going to try and answer a question from Louisa without bickering


"What about a rooftop terrace area at the back of the building for outside seating? Is that viable?"


I think the houses behind there are sensitive to being overlooked - a nearby proposal for rear terrace for a new cafe kicked off some silly brou ha ha

I think the picture house will be fine. But it wouldn't be the ED Forum without a dissenting voice, so here goes:


I once danced a quickstep with a leprechaun in there - I will miss the sprung dance floor and the old-fashioned community club vibe.


Kick off with "Went the Day Well" and I'll embrace the new cinema.

So easily fooled. It's a false PR lie to get the planning app' through without hassle-the outside seating area is much too small-they will ask to extend, ask to get the bus stop moved etc, and it will happen. Once there they will dominate without a thought for local residents etc which will include late night alcohol licences, music/bands etc which will negatively impact on local residences. There will be a detrimental effect on parking and end ED will end up with a CPZ. M&S and all other chains wanting to ruin LL will use the cinema app' to deride any parking or similar related objections and will win as this app' is sooo wanted. Then these showings that kids can be taken to will lead to an outbreak of lice amongst adults and kids in ED as the lice live in the soft furnishing of the cinema chairs and with quick turnaround kids lice will be crawling from kids hair to seat to next seat occupier hair. My vote for first film is A Clockwork Orange.

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
