Artful!!! I nearly drop me cuppa!

In short theyre just taking out the round about. My interpretation is slightly diff to the above... From TFL weekend travel email: Elephant and Castle - From 05:00 on Sunday, the Elephant and Castle Roundabout will be removed and switched to two-way traffic, as part of the Road Modernisation Plan. The work will start at 22:00 on Saturday and temporary traffic changes will be in place until completed. There will be no left turn from Newington Causeway onto New Kent Road, no right turn from New Kent Road onto Newington Causeway and no U-turns will be possible at the junction. Hope this helps :-)

Really? Like REALLY?!! hmmm *shuts up*

In reference to the nosey by standers - Blimey... worse than curtain twitching eh?! You may think it a little over kill and certainly the reporting is highly amusing, apparently the police numbers ranged from 15-20 up to 30-40 according to "eye witnesses"... The usual damned if ya do damned if ya don't situation surely!

Was there any further development on this? *being nosey*

Fazer did you receive info of this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mDmNmG3RjPLLdS0X749JyGtqmhpT3nYq06x_7kTRgLA/viewform

Surely this isnt just localised to "Se22" but happens everywhere... unless there's proof of a targeted scam?

You are simply demonstrating your, and many others, lack of understanding of the plans, site AND history of all of this. I wonder how many people have caught on to another application to the site (15/AP/3994) for a free standing substation to be position right near housing - surely this should have considered on all the other plans?

Fazer I'm not really sure what your beef is... I interpret differently - yes planning is a shambles but not for not wanting to create new homes. Do you really think adding a couple of new units in this instance will ease the pressure on demand for the housing we are repeatedly being told is high? It's not as is we're talking about a high rise block of flats. The issue here, as it's always been, is the over development of a site that is not suitable for the ideals M&S development have in mind. The planning department continue to fail to follow procedures (more so in the past), M&S are taking full advantage of this and many objectors to this proposal are hoping this will be dealt with properly.

whose responsibility is it to ensure notification to those concerned has happened? Who isn't following procedures? :s

No letter OR email here either... oh dear

And what is it exactly that the "WI" of today does?

And this has what to do with the flooding? I somehow doubt this is ark related... *shrugs*

I'm curious on this one too... not that I'm considering upgrading only to know IF it really does make a difference

Not particularly early... They tend to arrive before 8am, go for breakfast, back for 8am start which, to my ears/eyes, continues through to lunch *shrugs*

That's not true at all. I've seen workmen doing things every morning. Yes the time taken to complete this is ridiculous but to say no work has been done is just wrong.

Bit

I can't see how any "feasibility study" can possibly take place in the near future as there is too much planned much further down the line which would need to be taken in to consideration - to say again - the new schools AND M&S. It would be a pointless exercise and a complete waste if resource. That's not to say residents shouldn't be looking to find a happy solution for all concerned. It just seems to me this is escalating without much serious thought right now.

I'm getting incredibly confused with what is happening with all of this... There's a petition for a barrier? There's a petition for no barrier? There is or isn't significant official information available to back up any claims that something does or does not need to be done? Not everyone is being consulted? Or, at least, not everyone any traffic calming method would effect is in the know. Random (by random I mean unofficial out of the blue) visits from neighbours presenting various letters contradicting each other on "proposals", some without actually even knowing the history of the area (for example, yes the road has been blocked in the past for essential repairs for a significant amount of time - which may or may not be helpful in gauging potential issues ANY kind of traffic calming might create), some claiming to know too much but are recently new to the area... The impending arrivals of new schools, M&S etc are or are not being taken into consideration? Local councillors are for AND against (and back track regularly on comments they make)? How does this effect support for residents? Where have these ideas generated from? Seems to me there's a lot of movement happening in both directions instigated small groups and everything is getting in a muddle!

Walk?

I don't like being asked if I'm single... there are other ways of addressing the burning Q. Asking such a Q just makes me think "oh dear here we go". Think I'd prefer the get right in there approach - if you wanna ask someone out just do it. Doesn't matter whether they've single or not surely!

Didn't fink there was a "choice"

Prices?

You might want to hold off on asking whether the lady you are so busy ogling is single or not... I'd start with a simple polite (not pervy) hello and then see where it goes!
