We sometimes used to go to Curry Cabin for a buffet with the kids. Now that CC has closed is there another Curry house that does a buffet?

I'm looking to find someone who can fix a dodgy satellite connection / rewire a dish. Does anyone know of anyone ?

Suggestion: There is nothing like a tangible demonstration of a problem. Could I suggest that someone films a wine glass of water to demonstrate the vibration issue as a bus passes. This could be posted with a link so that you can really see the issue that is being described. I like on Marmora but at the wrong (or right) end depending on your point of view. I've never seen an empty bus doing less than about 50mph so I'm not at all surprised that at night the drivers floor-it along the drag strip that is Marmora Road. Could be have a temporary hump halfway along??

We have been discussing this issue via our Marmora road Facebook page just over the last couple of days. "Love Marmora Road" if you want to join the group take a look and request to join ( it's pretty low-key) Harriet H has has replied And appears to be taking it seriously. The council have also replied. It would appear that these decisions haven't been taken lightly also they have commented that they have been working with the contractors to programme the works so that the bus turning area is finished earlier so that the impact of the diversion is reduced to 6weeks rather than 3 months. Personally I feel that trying to manage the situation is more practical than complaining Therapia is the worst hit here as the road isn't as wide as Scutari or Marmora. Lets hope that the changes to FHR improve safety long term Here's the reply from the council: Thank you for your recent communication with Cllr Barrie Hargrove ? Cabinet Member for Transport, Environment and Recycling, particularly in connection with the proposed bus diversion route into your road, planned to commence next week. Please be assured that we are aware of your concern and have been trying to coordinate with TfL Buses and our contractor to seek ways to minimise any disruption to you and to other users and we will continue to do this over the next few weeks whilst the works is being delivered. As you know the Council consulted residents in March 2012 on proposals to improve Forest Hill Road. The work at Colyton Road / Forest Hill was undertaken early in the year; however, we now need to carryout stage 2 of the works on Forest Hill between Marmora Road and Canonbie Road. A letter was circulated to all residents of the area on 1 July 2013 notifying everyone with the planned works; please see attached a copy of that notification for your information. The proposed areas of works on Forest Hill are aimed at improving pedestrian access and safety and included:- - The widening of the footway east of Forest Hill Road, between Marmora Road and Brenchley Gardens - Reconstruction of the failed bus bay - Small tree planting and removal of unnecessary signage and pedestrian barriers The reconstruction of the bus stop requires the buses to use an alternative location to do U-Turn. London buses have investigated a number of options in the area and have decided that the most suitable one is the use of Therapia Road, Scutari Road and Marmora Road. I understand that the same route was used in 2011 when similar works was being done on Forest Hill. The Council is satisfied that TfL have not chosen this decision lightly, they undertook detailed investigation into all options and undertook trials on this route recently. TfL buses is preparing a separate note to circulate to residents explaining why this is their prefer option and has the least impact on bus users and local residents. Please note that although our early notification indicated that we will require 3 months for the bus diversion route, however our contractor have now agreed to put additional resources on this project and aim at reducing the construction period for the bus lay-by to 6 weeks. This may mean that we can have an early termination of the bus diversion, approximately by half the planned period, this I am sure you will agree will substantially reduce any impact on your area, I trust this is acceptable to you. Please be assured that TfL Buses are aware of your concern, they are copied on this email. If you need to pursue the matter directly with them or require further details regarding the bus diversion then you may contact their customer services directly on: [email protected] Thank you for bringing the matter to our attention.

I don't want to get drawn into any other issues about the school. The lights are terrible even if they have some relevance. There are worse than the Foxtons shop front because they are in a residential area facing a lovely Park. Perhaps they could consider cycling through the colours (on different days of the week) and if possible turn down the brightness but above all stop the flashing.I'm not sure if they are on all night, but turning them off at say 10pm might also help.

Debates about the design aside ( trees do a fantastic job of hiding the building - at least until the leaves fall off) The lights are nuts. Very bright and the flash and change colour. It feels like casino something you'd find in Blackpool. The lights are LED i think so will draw little power. but they are to bright. One thing to have lights but another when they are so garish. If they were just one colour and didn't flash / change colour that would be an improvement. Did the granted planning application really grant flashing multicoloured lights??
