If as you say you own a share of the freehold, are you talking about shared ownership through a housing association? Otherwise, as a part owner of the freehold, you are a shareholder in the company which owns the freehold and can express your views as such. The management company works for the company which owns the freehold. That means that as a shareholder (with others) in the company which owns the freehold you can decide to improve the the poor insulation. You are part owner of the company which is these people's ultimate landlord. The other owners of the freehold may be the direct landlord ie agreed the tenancy

Tessa Jowell have just invited a friend to have the vaccine.

Re lateral flow tests: "The tests are specifically designed for use on people with Covid-19 symptoms and are most effective at identifying those with high viral loads, who are the most infectious. They are supposed to be administered only by trained professionals. The government is mainly using the tests on people without symptoms and they are carried out by school staff, meaning their accuracy drops. Official figures from a trial in Liverpool found they missed 30% of people with a high viral load and half of the positive cases detected using a standard nasal swab." from the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/14/regulator-refuses-to-approve-mass-covid-testing-schools-in-england?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other There are PCR tests for those with symptoms. These tests (explicitly for those without symptoms) seem to me likely to be misleading.

The Kennel Club accepts that dogs can carry Covid on their fur -- just like any other surface really https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/health-and-dog-care/health/health-and-care/a-z-of-health-and-care-issues/coronavirus/ "There have been a very small number of reports of dogs testing positive for the novel coronavirus following contact with infected humans. However, those animals didn?t show signs of the disease and it is believed they tested positive due to breathing in contaminated air from infected humans or carrying the disease on their fur. As with any surface, if someone with Covid-19 touches, sneezes or coughs on a dog, the virus could temporarily contaminate them. Although we don?t know how long Covid-19 can survive on surfaces, scientists think that it could range from a few hours to several days, depending on the type of surface, how warm it is and levels of humidity."

And also very noisy. And very territorial, all year round. I think the noise is bickering about the boundaries. Our robins fight for the same reason.

The point I don't understand is why people who are unable to walk or cycle but can drive are somehow stopped by the distance they have to drive increasing. If I am walking or cycling and suddenly I have to walk or cycle twice as far, I can see that this might be too much for me (or another person). If I can drive (and own a car) the doubling of the distance (from one mile to two for instance) is not a great burden. I can still get to my favourite shops -- it takes me longer but I am inside a nice warm car, with a comfy seat, and the only physical problem is to move my hands and feet quite short distances. Which, with all due respect, is not a big ask. In return, the disabled car driver gets clean air, people walking and cycling to watch through the window and peace and quiet.

Come across to Smiths in Nunhead and visit Sopers and our various delis and greengrocer at the same time.

Yes, I've had a series of these. If you let your cursor sit on the sender's name, the sender's email will appear. This is usually a giveaway ie something inappropriate chick396@rom.com. TVLicensing is another one -- warning that I haven't paid for my licence. The DPD one is newer -- so thanks for the heads-up

https://www.southwark.gov.uk/libraries/find-a-library some are and some aren't. from the website A phased re-opening of our libraries is now underway, starting with those which can be opened safely and in line with government advice. The following libraries are currently open with a reduced service: Blue Anchor, Brandon, Camberwell, Canada Water, Dulwich, Nunhead and Peckham. Please note that on entering a library you will be asked to provide test and trace information and wear a face covering unless exempt. Check our safety measures and find out more about the services we can currently offer here.

If it is this difficult to tell, you might be able to mount a defence that the signs were confusing. A rule of thumb is that people cannot be expected to follow the rules if they do not know what they are. If you want to do this, I should ask for their photos, take lots of your own. Check that you really are right, or at least that a reasonable person would find the situation confusing, and then appeal.

Citizens Advice. You have a penalty charge notice. They should have a photo of exactly where you were parked. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-courts/parking-tickets/appealing-parking-tickets/appealing-a-parking-ticket/

This one https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53219331 gives the impression they will be legal England-wide but this, later, one is saying they will be legal in trial areas only. The trial areas don't include London.

Dulwich Park is locked at night (5pm at the moment). Similarly Peckham Rye has an access road which is closed with a metal gate at night.

Probably should report him to the police (with his van number if you can).

Maybe there have been a lot of house moves after the spring/summer lockdown and the cats have got lost/tried to go home as they tend to do. More generally I haven't noticed more "lost cat" notices on the east side of the Rye.

I googled southwark resident parking. The top result is the link I posted.

Try this link https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/parking-permits/on-street-permits/resident-parking-permits I hope you enjoy living here.

I think it is the over 60s pass which is financed by TfL which is at stake. The Freedom Passes are not. The BBC specified that it was free travel for under 18s and over 60s which government was trying to cut. They are financed by TfL. The Freedom Passes are financed by London Councils. Everyone who has got one (like me) can look at theirs and see.

Would someone like to start a justgiving page or similar so we can all support them

I worry about the idea that "they are all as bad as each other". Surely it is our responsibility as voters (choosing for our children) to discriminate the bad from the worse. Over time our discrimination will raise the standard of politician put before us for choice. If we give up the demand for integrity, honesty, and compassion in our politicians then we should not be surprised if their quality declines and these qualities are not offered to us.

That's new (ish). I didn't pay for mine. The costs will be rising as the OAP age rises because the over-60s pass fills the gap until the oap Freedom pass. The trouble with means-testing is that it can be more expensive than not ie the admin associated with the means test out weighs any saving.
