Is it vexatious to not want to see a family business or small useful shop disappear, only to be replaced by another high end hairdresser or Estate Agent?

Is it vexatious to not want another wine bar with sky high prices demanded in order to meet the high rent?

Is it vexatious to question the role of a massive (monopoly) landowner that ruins small established businesses in order to make money for the 'charity' that is the Dulwich private schools? (because this is where the money goes).

Personlly, I am shocked at the rip off prices in a particular 'child-orientated' toy shop - yes, the one complaining about the increased rent.


Perhaps they're more worried about their profits dipping than not being there for the kiddies..... (also have a shop along LL, so not too far away for the little ones to trek. And another one in Clapham and another one somewhere far away....


Buiness = money - it's their own model. No point complaining when you are the one feeling the pinch


As for the landlord - same goes.

What is your beef with people having a view on rising rents across an area? This is a neighbourhood discussion forum.

The shop which was the original Moo Too that moved to Lordship Lane and is now a charity shop - they moved because Dulwich Estate rents went too high.

Ditto the music shop that was on the corner.

Staff in the shops told me these things at the time.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
