Hi, I heard a rumour that the renovation to Big M Motor Spares and the flats above will include a tyre yard out the back (access via Landells Rd). I'm a resident of Landells Road and a couple of years ago (yes the building work has been going on that long!), I asked the buidling site manager what the plans were, he said gardens out back with some car-parking. Anyone know what is really going on there?


Thanks.

Not heard anything, but I think I saw this weekend that there is a big extension being built out back.


There is still plenty of space left after the extension and we were left wondering what they intend doing with that space.


I can't really imagine the devloper putting gardens there unless they really can't get out of it - most developers try to get every inch of the land generating money.


Parking would be good for the flats above the shops - but there looks to be much more space than a developer would want to devote to solely parking.


If you know the address of the motor palce, ring up the council (0207 525 2000) and ask to be put through to the Planning Dept. They are always very helpful telling the public what applications have been put in.

      Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more.

      Taxes

      Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.

      Taxes

      Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/

      Taxes

      Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
