The Palmerston Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hi all.We're a little concerned about the increasing amount of advertising on the wall of Londis on North Cross Road.Originally there was a general advertisement. Next came a Panther Cars one. We've nothing against Panther Cars, we use them as our primary cab company. Now there's an even bigger Glazer Delmar advertisement. We've been told by a reliable source that it is expected that the entire wall will be sold as advertising space. We understand that companies on North Cross Road need exposure but at what point will these adverts become an eye sore?We'd like to know residents' and other business' view on this matter. We're concerned that very soon, all you'll be able to see from the windows of The Palmerston is advertising. The wall is no thing of beauty but it's rather more appealing that a wall of adverts.Your views, pro, anti or indifferent please.Thanks, Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20096-advertising-on-londis-wall-north-cross-road/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Maybe you could buy the ad space to advertise the palmerston and the herne?I live on North Cross and TBH I haven't noticed them but why don't you speak to James Barber if you are worried about it.

The Palmerston Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Thanks Cidered.I think it might prove a little too costly to buy all of the advertising space. Forgive my ignorance but who is James Barber?

wellington Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I've not seen them but I would suggest contacting Southwark's Planning Department to check if they have consent to display the advertisements. From your description I would guess they don't and as such can take action to remove them.

maxxi Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Well it is only covering a brick wall - hardly the most interesting view in the world - and it makes Glazer Delmar look like a drive-in solicitors which is quite funny if you're very bored.

I've been concerned at the apparent proliferation of advertisements on walls in ED, and another new advertising board (for a taxi firm) appears to be on Zenoria Street at the junction with Lordship Lane.

The Palmerston Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks for your input this far. I'll contact James and the council planning department. Great advice.

HelenG Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I am a resident of Northcross Road and agree with most that these adverts are an eyesore Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20096-advertising-on-londis-wall-north-cross-road/#findComment-492367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Personally I don't think it looks particularly bad. Surely life is far too short to be worrying about this sort of thing.Is it putting customers off their food / beer?

boomerang Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 TBH I never even noticed them.... in fact I never even knew GDM had an office on Northcross and thought they were on Rye Lane.... I don't think they're that bad... I do think what was proposed at the Bishop was worse...

civilservant Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I walk past there most days and tbh I've never noticed them. They certainly didn't grab my attention, but I'll notice them now that the Palmerston has thoughtfully pointed them out. They don't bother me though, unless they start displaying ladies (or lads) in states of undress, which seems to be mandatory these days to advertise anything from garden manure to solicitors' services. Then I'll join any picket going.Edited to add - The Palmerston can take its pick of other unlovely things than can be seen (or smelt) from inside it, such as- runoff water from the smelly fish van- the Iceland 'eyesore'- the smokers slowly pickling themselves outside the Palmerston itself Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20096-advertising-on-londis-wall-north-cross-road/#findComment-492395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I do think what was proposed at the Bishop was worse...Indeed! I had meant to ask The Palmerston whether they had heard about / had an opinion on that?I'd never noticed these things either, until seeing the photo on this thread.

the-e-dealer Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 If we don't keep an eye Advertising will spread onto every surface. The advertisers are always looking for new places to put billboards. We don't want East Dulwich to look like Tokyo. So please don't bury your heads in the sand and hope your local environment will always be nice - it takes work.
