Election 2015 Hustings meeting at the Albrighton Community Centre on Monday April 13th!


Recommended Posts

Hustings Monday at the Albrighton Community Centre - April 13th from 7:15pm. Not many hustings meetings yet (Herne Hill's comes later in the week) but here's one which will be intimate and well-represented. Organised by the Ivanhoe Residents Association with the Albrighton Centre and East Dulwich Estate. Candidates or their agents will chiefly represent Camberwell and Peckham but there will be a candidate for Dulwich and West Norwood. So East Dulwich residents and those of you from other surrounding areas are also enthusiastically invited to attend!


We've waited this long to announce because we've just had word on Friday that all parties invited have accepted and have named their representatives for this Hustings meeting - with the exception of the Lib Dems (someone is expected but this remains a TBA). On the table there will be:


All People's Party - Stephen Govier

Conservative Party - Naomi Newstead

Green Party - Rashid Nix

Labour Party - Harriet Harman

Left Unity & TUSC - Nick Wrack

Liberal Democrat Party - TBA

National Health Action - Rebecca Fox

UKIP - David Kurten


Topics will range from Electoral Reform, the NHS and housing to the 20MPH zone, schools, Green Spaces and Dulwich Hamlet FC for more hyper-local discussion. We hope to take questions and complete within 90-120 minutes


Smaller party candidates have an earlier candidates meeting at Southwark Town Hall on Monday, so one or two may join in progress.


The Albrighton Community Centre is located at 37 Albrighton Road SE22 8AH - on the east side of Dog Kennel Hill, almost opposite Sainsburys, within the East Dulwich Estate.

We're all hoping to learn more about how the political system can better work for all of us in the community ... hope you can make it, even at this short notice.

UPDATE Rashid Nix, who is standing in West Norwood & Dulwich for the Green Party, will represent Amelia Womack, who is the Green candidate in Camberwell & Peckham as she is currently campaigning in the West Country for Young Greens. Stephen Govier will represent Prem Goyal who is the C&P candidate for the All People's Party. We're told by C&P Lib Dems Chair Jonathan Hunt that there will be a rep for C&P candidate Yahaya Kiyingi, who is committed elsewhere
LATE BREAKING UPDATE: Word from C&P Lib Dems HQ is that their candidate Yahaya Kiingi will be attending the Albrighton Community Centre Hustings Meeting set for 7:15pm tonight April 13th.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
