Consultation ends today. Shame they (M&S) didn't think their proposals warranted a public meeting as an opportunity for residents to voice their views like the PictureHouse is doing. *sighs*

It was nice to see a development proposal that was considerate and sympathetic to the area. Nothing aggressive to outside improvements just subtle and nothing unexpected to the space. Was obvious why they chose ED and is viable as a business - a large portion of their Greenwich custom comes from ED. Good stuff!

Haha good one :-D

Well put. If anything i find 85volga rather unncessarily aggressive. Two wrongs (in your case 85volga) do not make a right

One of the things that annoys me is the assumption people should entertain these people. Dont. Especially dont be telling these people what kind of security you have or dont have. Its none of their business and you are telling complete strangers strengths and weaknesses of your home security.

For me its been much longer than the advised 10 days. I was simply wondering if there was a reason for the delays

Does anyone have any helpful insight as to why acknowledgments to comments for the application are taking so long to come through and also why no additional "Neighbour consulation replies" are appearing on the website? So far only 3 "in favour" of the application are showing yet I know there are more comments submitted...

ADT is probably one of the most nuisance type of caller - I reported them to the safer neighbourhood team yesterday to which we're currently awaiting a response. These in particular, if you check the ADT thread, cause a lot of bother with intimidation and make residents feel uncomfortable especially, and I say this on pure speculation yet the feeling is there amoungst residents, when visits with ADT usually coincide with spats of burglaries/attempted burglaries. Other types of callers are charities or children, not from neighbouring streets, knocking wanting to be sponsored for some sort of event or other. I do believe this would be something worthwhile to invest in.

James, I appreciate this is perhaps not your area of expertise but...How would one go about setting up a NCCCZ (No cold calling control zone) with in the local area?

I feel the need to express my frustration: 5th time in two consecutive days four young gentleman knocked on my door each time receiving different responses from our household all along the very polite lines of no thank you and please stop knocking. This last time however resulted in a confrontation between myself and the young "senior representative" who didn't understand why we were bothered having ADT knocking on our door. After being told to go away by someone else in my house i interjected asking to be given a business card by one of them so I could make contact with the company. I was shown their ID badges but repeated again I wanted a business card. I was rudely and off handedly told I could ring their boss if I didn't believe they were from ADT. That was not why I wanted their details. I simply wanted something I could refer to for when they next visited. Now, I was and am not questioning their authenticity I am aggrieved by their attitude. I noted that the more senior member carried a scrappy little note book where he'd written down house numbers and crosses and ticks, assuming recording responses of who opened the door and not. I pointed out that I was requesting not to be disturbed again and the only record of my request would be that little piece of paper which is not professional and does't demonstrate any seriousness from ADT. My comment was ignored and the conversation continued into the sales pitch - I was told that it's evident (by looking at the houses) that many properties are not alarmed nor protected and that's what ADT were here to sort out. I pointed out their excessive approach was rather aggressive and intrusive to be further told that ADT were here to help. There was no apology for their harassing. When I questioned why ADT continued to target residents in such a manner the senior rep decided our conversation was at an end and started walking away. The conversation was not ended and I continued to express my concerns The young lads (one senior, two trainees and one being interviewed on the job - according to the senior rep) continued to attempt to sell their goods and waffling on statistics and also told that they (for what ever reason this was significant) that they earnt a lot more than other people. I was also informed that if I needed anything else they'd be around until 8.30pm - so if anyone is interested I can point you in the right direction!

FYI

First sunbathe of the year *said from a non sun bather* tis all very energising!

There's been the odd bit of activity in there these last couple of weeks - one or two builder doing something with extension leads...

Ooo i remember that one! I thought the thread was going to b about art or something... *shrugs*

Thanks for the defination/clarification matryx I feel enlightened! :-| :p

Peanuts

How is any of this "creepy'? Confuzzled muchly

Social science? What's that then?

The whole shebang is worse you've carefully extracted the bug ger out of the packet only for it to disintegrate in your hand straight away

Not particularly surprised at the stats although it's incredibly disappointing given the investment and centralisation of specialist departments. Over the last year or so my family has had appalling and also fantastic experiences with both Kings and Lewisham hospitals from A&E to specialist wards. I cannot understand why it has to be this way. Surely in today's world (perhaps an ideal world) a consistent positive approach can be demonstrated.

Have you received yours yet? ours came with yesterdays' post. Interesting... the consultation period on the letter ends on the 2nd March yet the website advises the 5th March. Which is it? MM I'm surprised at your attitude and disappointed. No one was complaining about the objection in the context you mean, it's the notification process which is wrong. The EDF, as you well know, is NOT an official means of communication set up by the council. Just because a few people happen to come on here and discuss a few local issues not everyone in the community is involved. In this instance the council are being slow in following their own procedures which is worrying some people. I'm sure if it was your good self involved in this whole marlarky your thoughts would be very different.
