It's a ridiculous sum of money. We seem to have learnt nothing from the credit crunch.

Great shots

So after the charges are introduced, what happens to stuff that's fly tipped? If you report things just left on the street will they be picked up for free? I do wonder what will happen?

Meanwhile anyone caught driving at 25mph on Sydenham Hill will feel the full force of the law.

Yes, the petrol bomb thing sounds extremely dubious to me. That said, if you're going to organise a weekend long rave (which was the original intention), there are better places to locate it than in a densely populated, residential area of central london. Really what did the organisers think was going to happen? It was always going to be shut down

What a bunch of massive bellends

Of course it wasn't Amazon who defrauded me, but an individual using their platform. Amazon refunded me, so in fact it was Amazon ultimately who were defrauded. They decide not to pursue these cases, even were they have all the information necessary to catch the perpetrators, which I disapprove of. Amazon are not the most community minded of companies of course.

Peckham can be a bit rough. Surely this isn't a surprise to anyone?

I hate the rising inflection at the end of sentences - previously the domain of Australians, but now seemingly ubiquitous. Even my 6 year old does it. So annoying.

I was defrauded by Amazon. I called and managed to get everything sorted, but what I found galling is that they had the name and address of the perpetrator and refused to file a report with the police. They said it just want't worth their effort, that they write down such losses.

I've been with an online bank since around 2000 and I can't think of a time when I've set foot inside a bank since. Whilst I'm sure there are many good reasons to visit a physical branch, for the majority of people they do seem a little redundant.

Thanks for the heads up James.

They are turning the northern roundabout into a peninsular: https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/improvements-and-projects/elephant-and-castle

The dogs run long the perimeter barking and jumping up at the fence if you are passing the stables at night. I actually changed my running route because I got fed up with it.

It does stick in the craw that they have charitable status and enjoy tax breaks though. The criteria for awarding charitable status really ought to be overhauled.

If there was secure bike parking at Brixton, Oval and Elephant I think you would see a significant increase in bike usage - for much less cost and in a much quicker timescale.

@EdOldie - the Dulwich Estate is often misunderstood to be some sort of conservation society. The Estate has no interest in anything except maximising it's income and the value of it's assets.

The Dulwich Estate's only objective is to increase it's annual income for the benefit of a handful of elite private schools. It's a charity in the strict legal sense, but not as it's commonly understood - i.e. giving freely to those in need.

LOL

I have no pro lem with 20 mph and I welcome measures to make cycling safer. Two major issues though which need immediate attention, a high frequency mass transport system in the SE of the capital and secure bike parking at all tube stations (covered, staffed cycle parks or similar). The roads are making busing into town very difficult and a vague provincial train service is totally inadequate for a densley populated global city.

This is all good and well, but there are often few alteratives. Travelling back from chsrig cross road, late last night took an hour anda half on the bus. We don't have the same frequent, mass transport I Sze London as else where I the Capital so its ridiculous to just make the roads slower and slower.

Maybe go over and ask them to turn it down

Super on looks good. Anyone know wher its on locally?
