What is happening to the small post office on Lordship Lane next door to the Sainsbury Local. From the looks of things the grocery store within the post office has closed as well as the off license next door.I was sad to see Magie Wok(situated next door to the post office) has now closed. Quality chineese takeaway. It seems with Sainsburys opening up next door the small retailer cannot survive in this economical climate

The shop part of the PO moved across to the shop on the corner of Landells Road and LL, but has closed since the scaffolding part was deemed unsafe and an accident occurred inside the new shop. Work has been happening to make the structure safe.


However, the fruit and veg part of the shop in the PO has returned temporarily.


It's still uncertain if and when the Post Office will have to leave that site.

    • I've actually met Luke Johnson and he's actually a very amicable, witty and extremely clever man. He's also created thousands of jobs and generated millions and millions of pounds of tax revenue for the government, offering goods and hospitality that countless millions of people have enjoyed over the decades. I'm not a fan of Gail's but I'm also not a fan of people who knock down good guys that have contributed a huge amount to this country.  Anyway, French Patisseries and southern hemisphere coffee don't belong on Farmer's markets. 
    • What mandatory action would then be required of them?
    • Probably will be mandatory once Digital ID comes in.    They can then use the cameras on the tills too to bring all sorts of other useful ancillary controls, such as limiting how much alcohol you buy each week, or monitoring and limiting the carbon footprint of the food you buy (some foods now are already showing the CO2 emissions consumed in producing them).
    • At present several large retailers such as Co-op, Tesco, Waitrose, John Lewis, and Next use a cloud-based facial recognition system that gives instant alerts to the entry on the premises of known shoplifters.  Around £19 million incidents of retail theft (some with attacks on staff) occur ever year in the UK amounting in value to £2.6 Billion in value, involving 41,000 known offenders. Shoplifting adds to the retailer's costs and this is passed on eventually to honest shoppers, isn't there a case for F.R. to become mandatory at all retailers?
