Wasn't Foston's the location of the DSS office, rather that some inexplicable council office? That served a useful function when there were more people signing on in East Dulwich. Since the DSS office closed, people have to trek all the way to Peckham. And we are left with Foxton's.

BigED - you are right. Apologies, I was being flippant. I should have namechecked ex-Threshers.


Unlurked - all of those things could be valuable, though I fear they may still attract people to the area.


On a more serious note, I'm not sure we are short of health centres in the immediate area and I would have thought the police counter could go in lots of places - lack of will not space is the constraing factor (and actually the hall is about 5x larger than required for this). As for a community space, I don't think the hall was all that well-used before it was closed (and yes, I had been there myself). Father Gerry's posting goes through this in some detail.

I'd like to go somewhere local that isn't a fleapit to watch a film.


Also, I don't think that saying the space could be used as a police counter is a useful comparison - it's not a matter of someone inviting the cinema and not the police to use the space and in any event, as has already been pointed out, it's far too big.


I think it would be great to bring something new to the area - ie not another pub / coffee shop etc.

xxxxxxx


Well whether it goes ahead or not, it is hardly an urban myth, since our local councillor James Barber says that two cinema chains had been in discussion with the hall owners .....


Unless you think that James is in the business of peddling myths? Hardly a good re-election ploy, I would suggest ....

This is a great idea! Moved to ED a couple of years ago, love the area, but a new cinema would really add something, particularly to that end of Lordship Lane. A small cinema doesn't just show films but also provides a great space for the community to meet and hold creative events (short film nights, Q&As etc).

Well there is a bit "courtyard" (for want of a better word) space behind it, so if they're building on all of that land, then yes 3 screens sounds reasonable.


Very good news, will be a very welcome addition to the area. Imagine they'll do great business so long as they price reasonably.

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
