Just to keep you all informed, the empty shops just along from the Plough Pub (357-361 Lordship Lane). That have been empty for a large period of time will become a New Sainsburys local store. If anyone has any questions about the site then post them on here or PM me and i will try to help.
Gawd!! Here we go again. Don't you think that if one of the chains was proposing a store on this site that it would have been opened years ago? The whole sight appears to be a speculative piece of property development. This is illustrated by the stop - go nature of the work. Weeks go by without anything being done. The whole project has been going on for well over 2 years already, probably a lot more, and the flats aren't even finished, let alone let. I actually wish one of the chains would open a convenience store on the site. The current offerings in that particular area of LL are pretty poor, and its been an eyesore for far too long. BTW. How on earth did the Polish grocery get a liquor licence? Aren't there already enough stores selling alcohol on this short strip?
Hi sorry i should have said in my original post that i work for the developers, Watmough Brothers Investments, who have owned the site for roughly thirty years haveing bought it from the co-op. Unfortunately due to the nature of completely rebuilding a site internally and adding extensions to the back of the property many people believe that no work has been done when infact there has been alot however not all visable.

This sucks anus. What has East Dulwich done to deserve another ugly blight of a supermarket under our noses, don't they syphon off enough money from local communities/small shopkeepers with out having to be here too, what's wrong with the one on dog kennel hill? Don't they make enough money? I am no anti capitalist quite the contrary but with such a vibrant community there must be other businesses the landlord could do business with?


What a sell out.


thanks greedy bollox love you too.

I would rather have a Sainsbury's there than empty units. At least it will mean that people at that end of East Dulwich don't have to trek to Dog Kennel Hill to get their groceries in. I am sure it will be very popular.


I know a lot of people will perceive this as a threat to independent shops, but I think that small shops should be able to survive by providing products/service/environment that you can't get in a supermarket.

I'm surprised at the suggestion that this shop site will be a Sainsburys local.

Somerfield recently applied and obtained an alcolhol licence. It would seem surprisng if Somerfield/Coop had sold this site/option.


If it is Sainsbury's they need to apply for an alcohol licence which I would be notified of and have'nt.

Have the anti-chain gang not considered the fact that a Sainsbury's here might actually bring MORE footfall to the area - thus helping the independents that have set up here?


The other end of Lordship Lane has two supermarkets - and several newsagents. It seems there's enough custom to sustain them all.

There's already quite a few non-chain, long-established, food shops around there so I'd be amazed if any of these would welcome a Sainsbury's local. I suspect the Forest Hill "big" Sainsbury's might lose a bit of trade too...


Oh and I believe Enid Blyton was very young indeed when she moved out from across the road! :))

Its only that if it does get built ( as planned) lorries ( if large ones) would have trouble getting under ( only high enough -Just- for fire engines


glad that something is finally being done anyway

It seems I was a little over the top with my post last night on this thread and some what unkind to lord lane, it has been pointed out that perhaps I should not shoot the meesenger or use unkind language in an open forum. I have to say that in hindsight I agree with that and would therefor like to offer an apology to lord lane.


sorry


iain.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
