Hi- It is not related to the school building work opposite. It is at 85 Stuart Road. I reported it to southwark Council Environment Officers this morning and they have just come around to visit me and are going to the site now. So hopefully this will have an effect. Will await further developments. One thing they said is that if the fire is unattended at night we could call the Fire Brigade. Thanks

Hi All- Does anyone know the Southwark Council policy on open fires. Just wondering as we live near a fire which has been burning for several days now and is left to burn overnight unattended. This is in the old semi-abandoned garages on Stuart Road - it looks like the site is being cleared. There is a skip there but most of the items to be cleared are just being thrown on the fire spewing ash all over the neighbourhood. Apparently the Council have visited the fire and nothing seems to have changed. The fire has been going since last week (Thursday 8/11/12) and is surely a public fire hazard. Thanks, Vandam

Looks like the famous old HR Denne factory building is being demolished, after standing idle for quite some time. I haven't checked on Southwark Council Planning website yet but presume the developers have been given the green light to build.
