Would they be happy to have "small lorries" to drive up and down past their house all the time? Is it just the "extremely large lorries" that they would have an issue with? I live on Melbourne Grove and the current Iceland lorries are massive, they get stuck turning into Chesterfield Road because even with their articulation, they can't get round the corners (because the number of cars parked in the street make the turn too tight) and they start pretty early in the morning. I don't think it's appropriate to have articulated lorries delivering via residential streets, so if M&S can fix the access for deliveries and the flats are affordable housing, it's a good solution. But I very much doubt that either of those things will be specified as must-haves in the final proposal.

I had the Virgin engineers out yesterday and apparently the main network guys put the wrong network box in when they were doing repairs and an upgrade to the one on Melbourne Grove. This has knocked out the broadband and TV signal to most people in the area. They said it would be fixed by this morning... Fingers crossed
