"oh great, another burger retailer. Just what the area needs as there is currently nothing like that. Nor is there a cheese shop. Unless you count the cheese shop and the cheese stalls on the market."


What LL needs is some estate agents, chicken shops, and nail bars

Another burger place?! That's disappointing

@teddyboy - le chandelier was a tea room. Did a good selection of different teas, but just closed.

Shame about Mrs Robinson boutique.. There aren't enough clothes shops on the lane.

That end of the lane is becoming a bit of a foodie cluster now though, so cheese shop could do Ok potentially.

I'm not so sad to see change, La Chardon was pretty poor. But it would have been nice to see something a bit more grown up there. It's a lovely building and Byron will take advantage of that, but there's some competition in the 'meat in a bun' market now, GBK now being the dullest of the offers on LSL


And a new cheese monger, how nice, I hope he/she smiles some. But i'm glad to see the good old guard still delivering quality, as last nite we ate a very good meal at Franklins. I've eaten there for at least the last 15 years, its good to see a neighborhood restaurant that can keep doing what it does, and doing it well.


Red leg partridge anyone?

    • Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.
    • Does anybody know why? Trees aren't cut down for no reason. There must have been something wrong with it (I hope that was the reason). A child was recently killed and another one injured when a tree fell in a park (not in this area). It isn't always obvious from the outside when a tree is diseased or whatever, and I imagine the council would give safety considerations priority when deciding what to do, if there was any doubt at all.
    • It looks like they have cut it down completely now 😭
    • Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported the Barry Road leak? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
