Let?s assume that shops and restaurants are open in the summer, but with restrictions still in place on eating inside, numbers of shoppers allowed in at once etc.


What ideas can be developed now to enable businesses on lordship lane / east dulwich to survive? My suggestions include:


Outdoor space for kids clubs in parks

Outdoor space for gyms to let to do classes

Close some of the side streets along lordship lane to allow restaurants to put seating outside (eg outsiden Franklis)

See if there?s any appetite for shops to have stalls on north cross road some days a week

Allow beer gardens to be run by pubs in some green spaces (as long as they close by 9)

Good concept Jakido


First, whatever happens it needs to compliment the traders, not take away their trade so whilst additional market days sounds good , think of the impact that may have on bricks and mortar traders.


First thing in my opinion is

Let the businesses open and trade


But think about different times of the year, so if things are relaxed enough then Summer, but what if we can't relax till most people are vaccinated so it's autumn or winter


Maybe a range of seasonal ideas is needed and the concept can roll with the seasons


Years ago pretty tapas did evening pop ups in cafes that only opened in the day, great use of space that's not normally open in the evening and that sort of thing would be one suggestion


Love the evening closure of side streets near pubs (I'm now thinking the square in Marrakesh as inspiration)

Completely random idea : some of them could band together and offer short break virtual holidays in school holidays - say three or four country "themes" to choose from, a different restaurant delivering dinner each night (and maybe daily breakfast / packed lunch hampers), a set of "holiday reads", activity books for kids, some nice flowers, some spa stuff, a mystery item from duty-free, some sort of back yard sports activity, a daily entertainment item (on zoom or if we are allowed out, at your house). Am thinking a cooking class, a magician, something related to the theme country. You could do it for the Easter holiday actually, and also supply chocolate eggs. All in the packaging in terms of making it properly and thoughtfully themed - the aim being to take pressure off parents tired of thinking up menus and things to do!


(Am thinking the back yard equipment could be delivered for use for the break eg petanque, pop up swimming pool, table tennis... and picked up / reused for the next customer)..

I believe that it would be possible to support sellers who sell their own product. Thus, small-scale manual production can be developed. Already tired of these goods from China. Only strict control and certified products are needed. There must be clear evidence that the item was produced by the seller. I am currently studying management and have a clear picture of business development. In college, we are great at teaching these kinds of grants. The main thing is that the locals did not abuse this help. We need subsidies, control and restrictions on these subsidies.

    • 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 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. 
    • 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
