Out of interest what is the catchment area (approximately) for Charter.

What's the development plan for the site?

What do you think?

If you're putting him in the bin I recommend filming it and then posting the video on you tube. People will find it hilarious and there will definitely not be any adverse reaction.

There's a gang of 4 year olds on microscooters round my way. Bloody noisy too. I find that a couple of episodes of Ben and Holly helps turn the volume down. Glad to help.

Never ending, continous expansion of heathrow in particular (the current strategy) is simply unsustainable. An alternative will have to sought eventually.

Late afternoon to closing.

Gang activity

Went for a pub crawl up Lordship Lane on Saturday and was surprised how empty all but a few of the pubs were. I rarely get out on a Saturday night as I have two very young children, but is it usual for it to be so quiet?

Don't want to be a pedant, but to clarify, it's in Camberwell and not on Peckham High Street. norky Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Here we go# > > Its the small square bit of waste land opposite > the Council offices andf the little park on > peckham high street.The covered hole in the ground > is where its at. > > until recently you could "get in" with a bit of > persistance and sturdy shoes, ut has since been > (shoddily ) resealed.

Hi, Trying to pay Gumboots Nursery onlinc using childcare vouchers. Does anyone know their childcare voucher account number (starts with a 'P' followed by eight digits)? Thanks

I heard a low rumbling noise on Heber Road which may have been the sound of armoured vehicles driven by paramilitary gangs. Or it may have been my washing machine, I can't be sure.

Iceland 50 piece BBQ Family Feast Pack ?5: 16 pork sausages, 12 'Mexican chicken' wings, 12 hickory mini ribs and 10 corn cobs.

Still has a policy of no Muslims, no Jews though, presumably? Nice.

Are these the culprits: http://pjlighthouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Cats-Band-Take-My-Breath-Away-MetalCover-Biomortal-.jpg

Not at the moment, but even if the money were to become available in the future any more wide reaching extension (designed to serve more areas and/or leave room for further staged expansion), is dead. Instead we get just two stops in well served areas and no opportunities left for the line. It's a totally bizarre diversion of a line that is an obvious candidate for extension along it's current route into poorly provided for SE London, switching direction entirely just to be driven into a dead end.

There has to be a more long term strategic approach to these things. You don't just divert a tube line into a dead end for the sake of one development IMO. 'Battersea has no tube' is not really the only issue here.

You are diverting a branch of the northern line into a dead end, killing off any further, future expansion into south east London (that big blank area on the tube map). What you get for doing this is two new stations in close proximity to several existing ones. This is not a case of ?win win? (using private investment to make improvements to infrastructure in currently poorly served areas with a wider regenerating effect whilst also benefitting a new development), as Canary Wharf arguably was.

If you look at the development area, it is a triangular site with Vauxhall (Victoria line) in one corner, Battersea Park (east London line) on another and Wandsworth town (also East London line) at the third. Queen's town road is also next to the site, serving Waterloo. This is an incredibly well connected area. Diverting this branch of the northern line to provide two stations and no future potential for further expansion, is not sensible. It's entirely different to the jubilee line extension which served not just a new development but provided many existing areas with new connections / regeneration.

Except both Battersea and nine elms are served by nearby tube and train lines.

You're right of course. What I meant was that trains rarely run at weekends because of regular engineering works.

I think that any strategic expansion of the tube network should look at areas which currently have poor provision and an existing need. There will be two stops on this new line, one at Nine Elms about 10 minutes walk from Vauxhall and one at Battersea Power Station, about 5 - 10 minutes walk from the new East London line station at Batersea Park (and 10 minutes bus from europes busiest station, Clapham Junction(not to mention Queen's Town Road and Wandsworth Road). There is not currently a need for more transport infrastucture in this ares. The developers are looking to create demand and profit hansomely from it, at tax payers ongoing expense.
