How can a bike shed be classed as a permanent structure? Surely if you moved house you could just dismantle it and take it with you. I would be surprised if anyone with one had planning permission. What about the people who have built wooden bin caddies? Surely these are more permanent in that they are anchored to the ground or wall? I doubt they have or need premission. worldwiser Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I see that some people have storage sheds for > bikes out front which I would like to do myself. > But apparently you have to put in planning > permission for any permanent structure forward of > your front elevation.

Jade Boulangerie - Barry Rd closing tomorrow
Willard replied to SebsC's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Hi Beej, you sound like a nice piece of work. As others have pointed out it's a boulangerie and a bloody good one. Amazing croissants and sour dough, gutted its closing but fingers crossed for new incarnation. -

Here we go again....top of Worlingham Road. Gross. -
Like I said, I'm in Peckham Rye ward. I'm north of Upland Rd, close to Tyrell. I had my anchor fitted last summer. The Peckham Rye ward councillors already support this initiative, it's not just you!

@JamesBarber Hi James, I'm on Hindmans Rd so I believe that falls into Peckham Rye ward. @Dulwich londoner - The alarms I have just fitted are not disc or padlock alarms, but yes I can see how they would be easy to muffle. They are hardwired into the battery and are fixed inside the bike. In order to stop them you would have to bust into the bike or under the saddle. Not really sure how you could muffle it therefore. Like I say, 20 odd quid, 5 minutes to fix, comes with 2 remote key fobs to activate and deactivate, amazing reviews on Amazon. Why wouldn't you do it? In a similar way to house burglaries, every deterrent you can add helps. If anyone on here wants to fit one but doesn't feel confident doing it, PM me and I will do it for you for free. (instantly regrets saying that).

We had an anchor fitted by Southwark and we're not in East Dulwich ward.....definitely worth looking into. I would also disagree with DulwichLondoner who says that alarms are useless. They can be the first line of defence and enough to deter would be thieves. I think there are generally 2 types of bike thief: kids who are going after automatic scooters and then the pros who target the superbikes. I would say in the case of the kids they aren't going to be carrying enough kit to muffle an alarm. Also if we're talking about the anchors then we're working on the assumption that a lot of people are keeping their bikes in their front gardens, therefore you would hear it. I just fitted these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00L5P4GAO/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item to both my motorbike and Mrs Willard's scooter. Takes minutes to fit and for ?23 why wouldn't you?

I'm up for a bit of romance as much as the next person, but my advice would be to ignore Valentines day as it's nothing more than a marketing scam designed to make you part with your hard earned cash, and then to make you feel guilty if you don't participate or unloved if your expectations aren't met. Miserable. There are tons of great restaurants around here so if you want to make an occasion of it wait until the weekend and go then. On the day itself you could make a lovely meal together.

New fixed bus lane camera, Dog Kennel Hill
Willard replied to kford's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I totally agree with Treehugger. There is also no reason why this has to be a permanent bus lane. Most bus lanes in London operate in peak hours, with the exception of some around really busy junctions. This could easily be a peak time lane and exempt after 7pm for example. treehugger Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I think the problem is that if it is busy and > there are buses in the bus lane and you are in the > right hand lane (where you should be) wanting to > turn left into Sainsbury's, you hold up the > traffic behind you as you wait for the buses to go > past, with the resulting frustration from those > behind as the lights go red again.
