A Morrisons Daily has registered with Lewisham's food safety team at 20 Tranquil Vale, the parade running down from the heath towards Blackheath station. The listing is marked as a new registration awaiting its first inspection, which is the point at which a shop tells the council it intends to trade in food — usually weeks before the shutters go up rather than after.
A chain-branded grocer taking on a unit on Tranquil Vale is a better outcome than a vacancy, even if it is not the sort of independent the Village trades on. The test will be what it stocks and what hours it keeps.
- Morrisons Daily is registered as a food business at 20 Tranquil Vale, Blackheath, in the retailers category.
