losing Icelands

[EastDulwichLabour]

Such a shame that Marks and Spencer will be taking over The Iceland store in Lordship Lane. Many of my constituents find the prices reasonable to enable them to feed their families. Councillor Charlie Smith

[alice]

not good news for fast Dulwich

what is the main reason- sent increase?

[Earl Aelfheah]

To be fair, there is another one on Rye Lane, about 15 minute walk away.

[spider69]

The ambience between the 2 are poles apart.

The rye lane one is the pits.

I suspect not many people will make the effort. Shame LL is closing

[nxjen]

Good grief, not again. Is the OP who he says he is or an impersonator?

[Loz]

Well, there is a councillor Charlie Smith. But whether he is the actual OP is open for debate. Seems a strange first posting for a councillor.

[alice]

Charlie tell up its not true.

[StraferJack]

bogus post surely?

[Robert Poste's Child]

Looks like it.

[StraferJack]

so assuming it is a bogus post..

what c*** pretends to be a local Councillor just to make a point they are too pathetic to make themselves?

[Louisa]

I wonder what "c***" means?

Re the forthcoming larger development of the Iceland site, it was interesting this morning to watch clientele for the carwash lined up on double yellows and their cars washed while the pavement was blocked by further cars waiting to get into the car wash. Don't see how the carwash will meet demand when the new development gets going. Additionally, with the ever present Southwark parking wardens always busying themselves around on their scooters just how is it that the carwash gets away with breaking parking rules over and over again? Would any councillors like to look into that?

If the OP is indeed Councillor Smith, which is doubtful, I would say to him too late, the developers had their little long game all figured out and Councillors, including those that frequent this forum and sit on planning committees somehow did not figure out what the developers were up to...odd that. Still with the very likely increase in parking some councillors will be delighted when fraught residents looking for a solution look afresh at CPZ. Ah, the art of politics and the long game.

My friend in Chesterfield Grove is forever trying to get someone interested in the lack of action by traffic wardens to that carwash. All to no avail. Traffic wardens visit the carwash but miraculously no-one gets a ticket!

[first mate]

It is interesting and the parking wardens are regular visitors to the carwash premises, with smiles and bonhomie all round.

When will Iceland be closing?

[GinaG3]

If anyone didn't know and is going to be affected by their closure there is a opportunity to start online shopping. I know its not some peoples kettle of fish but its very convenient. I've never tried Iceland online but they recently restarted their online delivery service after pioneering the service it many moons ago. You can now shop online and get your groceries delivered to your door, SE22 postcode is now covered by delivery. I am assuming deliveries are coming from Walworth or Catford stores as they are the biggest ones in the area to my knowledge. Might be worth a try if you use Iceland regularly.

[muffins78]

When is Iceland closing and/or M&S opening? I like the sweet chilli chicken pizza from Iceland :)

[KidKruger]

I've just started using Iceland for some things - don't tell me it's closing !

[Mustard]

The car wash people are using Iceland's car park.....

[healey]

I've always thought that the car wash should be considered far more of a problem than deliveries in that area. A terrible spot for it.

[first mate]

If the planners had anything about them they should have seen that the combination of the new, much larger development and shop with more deliveries, plus the carwash, is a no no. You have to look at the impact of both because that is the reality. Instead the planners/ Southwark have doffed their caps to the developers and welcomed them in to create further chaos.

Those councillors that sit on the planning committees should hang their heads in shame except I believe that those that pushed hard for CPZ knew all along how this would finish and have played both ends to the middle.

[Seabag]

Are we really discussing M&S/Iceland AGAIN

[first mate]

Well you don't have to, some if us choose to.
