No they don't It's also made it more dangerous for pedestrians.Got to have a vent about market parking. An old lady's car has just been towed from Rushcroft Road. She was only there half an hour. She asked the truck driver very nicely not to do it - she was clearly very frail and out of breath. He wouldn't budge. So she now has to go to the Mitcham car pound and pay a fortune. As she put it, 'I was only trying to keep some local businesses going.' Does anybody know what the council's thinking is re themultistoreyice rink? Do they not care what harm it's done to the market traders?
I saw that too. Was written like it 'IS' going to happen, but first I have heard
How can we make them care? Srsly? From what I hear the parking problem is as much as a threat to some of the Old Skool traders as anything the landlord gets up to. Would a petition help? Is there an existing campaign or action group or something? Do any of the councillors have anything to say about it?No they don't It's also made it more dangerous for pedestrians.
same store counted twice.
(A) is their central offices. C and D is the same store counted twice. C is twice as far away from B as Megasports is from the current Brixton Sainsburys.
Same here. I really hope it's scaremongering bollocks. It would be rather ridiculous to have 2 Sainsbury's within 30 seconds walk of eachother.
The traffic wardens are hot as fuck on Rushcroft Road and surrounding area - it's a goldmine for them. I don't have a car, but I borrowed my mum's once and popped into a mate's squat on Rushcroft Road for literally 90 seconds to collect my records, and got a £80 ticketGot to have a vent about market parking.

I passed it again today and have to apologise for giving the wrong info, a closer look revealed the shop doesnt open until 3:00pm tomorrowThat is the one I am not going mad then
Sadly tis more than a rumour since there is promotional material proclaiming the arrival of your new Sainsbury's in the window todayI saw a rumour on twitter last night that Megasports up by the police station is becoming a Sainsburys Local. I hope it's bollocks I really do
They'll make a mint from the Academy crowd alone.From Sainsburys' point of view, is there really enough footfall in that spot to justify a second store? I suppose there must be, they would have researched it.
Tesco and Tesco Express, probably.The Factory Outlet and neighbouring caff looks to be closing down too. Anyone know what will replace it?
