Clearly a grown man cycling at speed on the pavement is an idiot. It doesn't mean that I take satisfaction in seeing him hurt. I too feel sorry for the car driver, but my immediate concern in such a situation would be for the well being of the potentially injured man. I think this is Lowlanders point. Thankfully, I think this type of incident is extremely rare.

Doh!

I honestly don?t get this requirement for all new properties to include off street parking. Surely this just encourages more car ownership?

Would be great to get these installed near to the nurseries and Schools (so parents can drop off, then cycle to work), the train stations and parks I would have thought.

I think Jeremy was referring to the fact that it usually happens the other way round (i.e. cinemas becoming churches).

Is this where 'through the trees' was? Has it closed down?

I came across this tutorial online http://jonesdesigncompany.com/decorate/painted-house-numbers/

Excellent day. Thanks to all those involved.

I've been wondering the exact same thing. Would love to know whether their is a company who will do this professionally for you.

So they?re looking for property in ED. What?s the betting that Kirsty and Phil have them looking at properties in Nunhead, Sydenham and Norwood, before finally finding out that they ended up in Beckenham one year later.

Just seen from the website that appeal is being heard on 18th September.

What happened to this? Was the planning appeal refused, or withdrawn.

I abhor speed bumps. How about hidden speed cameras, average speed cameras, mobile speed cameras and some actual traffic enforcement officers to manage not just speed but other forms of bad / dangerous driving? Also, harsher penalties for those caught - not bigger fines, which those with the money to pay them can just shrug off - but licence suspensions, speed restricters and bans (seriously)? Speed bumps are a blunt tool that encourage people into bigger cars, to break and accelerate the whole time (adding to noise and pollution) and slow down emergency vehicles. They're a lazy way of addressing speeding and a very blunt tool.

Which tree is it - or is it The tree.

Interesting film

Terribly designed survey. I would welcome any attempt to encourage more responsible ownership however.

I am guessing that the cars have been used by people living in the vicinity, or they wouldn't have ended up parked here.

Instead of using ?greener, safer, cleaner? money to spray paint some bollards, why not replace them with some raised beds, containing real flowers. Or, plant some trees in their place? That said, I prefer them painted than plain.

Hold on, why can't someone park a car on a street legally. The fact that this is a 'pool car' surely means it's much less selfish than taking up public space with an entirely private car. At least these cars are available to many more people to use. Seems like a good thing to me.

If you called your dad he could stop it all.

It's a bit tight moving this to the lounge. Peckham and ED are virtually family.

It's a shame. I think it may have worked in a different building along the lane. Good concept, but the premises are a funny layout- long, thin, with that raised middle bit and bad acoustics. Really hope someone takes it over and makes the place work.

Very exciting. Really hope something comes of it. James - please do keep us up to date with any developments.

Fantastic stuff. Congratulations to all those involved.

The lifts still aren't working more than a year after they were meant to be. Making the platforms accessible was the whole point of this multi million pound investment and its still not been delivered. Someone should be sacked.
