About 4 shops have been knocked into one just down from the Plough on Lordship Lane. I was told by a man who lives opposite that it's going to be a Tesco Local or similar. There's no official sign or other indicator as to whether this is true, but it does look the right size. (Unless it's going to be another unnecessarily enormous branch of Foxtons, of course)


I reported it back to friend who said he had also heard this rumour, which suggests to me that maybe it's more than a rumour.


Obviously it would mean death for the various Costcutter type shops in the area, but handy for the people who live nearby and don't want to have to get a bus up to FH Sainsburys to get their shopping or down to Somerfield in ED. LL is a very long road, after all!


Anyone heard anytihng official?

Somerfields applied to Southwark Council for an alcohol license for that premise back in Feb. This was due to be heard at committee on the 20th April I believe. There should be a notification soon on whether they were successful. Although I see no legal reason why it would be turned down.
As far as I could understand, Somerfield has been taken over by Co-op but it will take about two years for all the branches to be sold on or transformed into Co-ops. since Somerfield is still a going concern I suppose it's understandable that it can still expand and open new branches. I don't want a national supermarket to open up by the Plough but I'd rather a Somerfield than a Tesco.

I cycled past there last night.


you know what I saw?


Nothing.


Unless my definition of 'moved in' is outdated

I have a feeling the units near the Plough will open up under the name of Co-Operative as opposed to Somerfield, and if this is the case i'm not knocking it. I am pleased to see Tesco starting work on the Rye Lane Tesco, it is a welcome addition and will hopefully attract passing trade from the station of an evening via the lane itself. Maybe if the increased footfall takes place, we will end up with a selfridges as well as H&M and all other shops. Anyone want rehash the simply food agenda? speak now or forever hold your peace!

That's the costcutter that's already there(by the busstop), not the new one!

Loads of builders hats with 'tescos' on them on the floor in the unit now :).

Tesco don't have their own firm of builders.


Whoever they are they would be subcontracted.


And would wear their own hard-hats. Not Tesco ones.


Are we willing this place into existence?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
