Tick tock.
With 'retail space' under - plans expect supermarket (things like self-service tills marked). Which is good, because we've only got 7 minisupermarkets in the area and we need one for each day of the week and one spare.

We do need an Aldi but they only take larger premises with car parks (Higgs Estate might have done?)

I've never actually been in but I don't dislike it, in fact I actually donated towards a little crowd funder thingy they had for a shed or container of some sort. And I would always rather have a farm than what was there before which was not very nice at all.

I'd prefer a market, like someone suggested a while back, just on that bit set back from the road between barrington & the hero pub.

Aldi are converting an old Pound shop in Tooting into a "metro" type store without a car park, iirc.

I'm unconvinced by this. Would it not just be a big cheap shop, and make it more likely that all the little grocery shops disappear? Just not sure what sort of town centre feeling that would create.

Actually it is more likely that the Co-op would disappear, because they seem relatively unresponsive to competition. Tesco drop and match prices on a local basis. Not sure about "the little grocery shops" except that they obviously rely on alcohol and tobacco - including out-of-hours (several of them are 25 hr opening).
No doubt there might be a faction who would prefer a "Little Waitrose"?

They are compensating for the one the council de-licensed!25 hours - and I thought there weren't enough hours in the day!

I don't think an Aldi would compete with the co-op. Different markets really. Co-op doesn't seem to have price as its main focus.
Previously I pretty much went to Nisa for everything (with occasional forays to co-op or morrisons in Camberwell). Now a mixture of Co-op and Nisa. Each has some things the other doesn't. Co-op often wins out for simple fact that I don't need to cross CHL to get to it.

It's been there quite a while but they don't seem very good at promoting themselves. Did you take any pics? Maybe I could give them a boost with a Buzz feature...

I didn't but I probably could wander down there again at the weekend, it's only round the corner

If you don't mind - and get chance - ask them to get in touch with Buzz and we could do a feature. If the place is as nice as you say, we should hopefully be able to increase their footfall a bit

I hear there is a new Bakery on Loughborough Road up near Fiveways opposite where the Fish n chip (Chris's) shop used to be.

Dulwich Roofing Contractors in Herne Hill (opposite Sainsburys) - no idea if any good but they are at least local...
