edhistory Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Is there such a thing as a vexatious petitioner? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92553-petition-for-reasonable-rents-from-dulwich-estates/#findComment-956510 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbonara Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Is it vexatious to not want to see a family business or small useful shop disappear, only to be replaced by another high end hairdresser or Estate Agent?Is it vexatious to not want another wine bar with sky high prices demanded in order to meet the high rent?Is it vexatious to question the role of a massive (monopoly) landowner that ruins small established businesses in order to make money for the 'charity' that is the Dulwich private schools? (because this is where the money goes).

Otta Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Depends on your perspective I guess. Some people will gladly see the back of some small "family" businesses that charghe through the nose for things.

edhistory Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I wonder if Carbonara can adduce any evidence. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92553-petition-for-reasonable-rents-from-dulwich-estates/#findComment-957525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules-and-Boo Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Personlly, I am shocked at the rip off prices in a particular 'child-orientated' toy shop - yes, the one complaining about the increased rent.Perhaps they're more worried about their profits dipping than not being there for the kiddies..... (also have a shop along LL, so not too far away for the little ones to trek. And another one in Clapham and another one somewhere far away.... Buiness = money - it's their own model. No point complaining when you are the one feeling the pinchAs for the landlord - same goes.

Carbonara Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 There is a long list of shops that have closed down due to much higher rents in the various parades of shops on Dulwich Estates - including the Croxted Rd / W Dulwich shops. I wasn't primarily thinking of Just W.

Carbonara Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 What is your beef with people having a view on rising rents across an area? This is a neighbourhood discussion forum.The shop which was the original Moo Too that moved to Lordship Lane and is now a charity shop - they moved because Dulwich Estate rents went too high.Ditto the music shop that was on the corner.Staff in the shops told me these things at the time.
