The DCC closed last September. As far as I knew it was going to be put up for sale. Not a very helpful reply to your question, sorry.

If anyone does have any information as to it's present situation I'd be very interested. My choir used to hold our rehearsals there but had to move when they closed. We were at the Palmerston till lockdown started, if, and I know it's a huge if, we can start rehearsing again we may need to find a bigger venue cause of social distancing. The DCC would be ideal !!

I noticed yesterday signage that it is occupied by tenants through one of the guardianship schemes, I think the sign was Lowe though I haven?t heard of this one. This suggests that the building is either already sold or the owners are waiting for to sell it.


While guardianship schemes can offer ?affordable? housing for those able to be more mobile, the tenants have so few rights (indeed, they know this from the outset), and it is a means through which developers are able to sit on land/projects e.g. wait for the land to appreciate in value while preventing it from being squatted in the traditional sense, or perhaps hold firm over projects that might have been rebutted or rejected by council until the ball is in their court. While I have friends who do or have lived as guardians, I?m sceptical about the good of them as they are a structure which protects/serves developers while boasting an outward appearance of providing a service to renters/tenants.

I was sufficiently curious to look it up on the land registry. It was sold in March 2020 to what looks to be a developer. I haven?t seen a planning application on Southwark?s website, so I suspect they might be biding their time. It?s a huge plot, but (unless I?m mistaken), the building is listed, which may have a bearing on what they can do to it.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By malumbu · Posted

      People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour.

      In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use.

      Carpet / sofa cleaning recommendation

      By catherine8 · Posted

      Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246
