MY EDF Cronies.. I don't have cronies. Most people here would probably agree with you.


The Problem is that there are very few actual 'Local Businesses' Businesses' owned by Local people in ED.


Most are outsiders coming to ED for the Rich Pickings.


Places like Franco Manca is not a Local Business. Its a chain...


It's not just a question of supporting Local Businesses. ?


Local Businesses should be supporting Local People by providing what the whole of the local community 'Needs'

and not what a small minority of the local community 'Wants'


Do you see the difference. ?

I'm praying that Late Knights Brewery take it over. Beer Rebellion in Gipsy Hill is easily my favourite bar right now. (There is another one at Queens Road, Peckham that I haven't been to yet) They have a superb selection of ales, burgers and finger food is a fiver a pop. If they were to take it over I'm sure they'd make a success of it.

There was some activity earlier in the week..


Just looked like they were clearing out all the junk and old furniture..


I'm sure we will all know as soon as something is planned..


Then another 9 months before anything is likely to open.


Not really bothered what happens to the place...

The problem is that in more recent times, past 4 - 5 years people did not frequent the place.


Each subsequent 're-furb' seemed to make the place less appealing.


The last attempt at re-inventing the place did not live up to expectations.

That's exactly the problem isn't it... a large, empty, uninviting space. At least some sort of chain would probably have the know-how and experience to make the place feel a bit more warm and welcoming.

    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.   
    • First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!
    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.
