The terrapins have been there for years - I saw another in the pond recently. Did it walk over?

It was never busy I think the footfall promise failed,  I do remember a cheese street market business moved there but then moved back to the street markets. The overhead was higher and the profit was lower.

First Tower Hamlets then Lambeth. 

Yes that’s true but bridge was still closed. (Yesterday)

The hyper-focus on one tiny part of Dulwich seems to have become an obsession for some people.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if Southwark produced  a colour-coded map showing spending.

Whose priorities?

Peckham Rye station is operated by Southern Railway. Southwark Council doesn’t own or operate the station, and it can't force Southern or anyone else to install lifts at the station.

I'd love there to be lifts at Peckham Rye. It would be very expensive.

The changes to the station need planning permission, given by Southwark Council. But anyway, any new build in public space is going to include access for all. 

You clearly don’t know Peckham Rye station there are lifts but they’re not available to the public. Actually, they were  briefly made available when the art exhibition was on.  Priorites again. 

It’s just the way things are prioritised how much was spent on revamping that waiting room to show exclusive art shows while  there are still no usable lifts to the platforms

I think the thread title is a bit overdramatic there’s thousands of CICs in the UK.  Hopefully, I don’t sound naive when I say that sometimes this sort of set up is a way to reach hard to reach people without the bureaucracy of more formal organisations.

It just strikes me as strange that you persist with these posts that make political and other assumptions about cyclists and drivers, very divisive and often insulting. And then you take offence when someone responds.
 

Maybe 10 years ago, an adult would rarely cycle on the pavement now respectable men and women will be riding along on the pavements without hardly a swerve to avoid pedestrians It’s quite unnerving.  It has somehow been legitimised.

If the eviction is coming through an agent, it’s unlikely to be an illegal eviction in which case a solicitor would be an expensive waste of money. Southwark council’s  housing department   gives free advice/help to private tenants. 02075254113 

When you get it wrong, you respond with a joke when someone picks you up on the joke you blame the victim. So repetitive and predictable.

Is it a myth that southwark don’t have the technology/ facilities to separate food waste from brown bin contents so it’s all put in together anyway. 

Why is everyone picking sides on everything?

You can check online for your EPC at this stage what difference would it make?

im assuming tho you got the gas safety cert. That’s the important one. 

It’s a mess. 

Then why put a curb if it’s used for the delivery lorries, it doesn’t make sense. 

They park in front of the shop just where they used to park. So why the curb? why the expensive resurfacing?

For those who back up their opinions with facts go to HMRC and find the filing history of any particular shop. 

People ‘go on’ about  things that matter to them.  Im sure you understand that

so because this is a 'light-hearted thread'  its totally OK to be full of generalisations and assumptions?

People are more likely to go back and retrace their route rather than look on the EDF.  If you’re reluctant to put them on a fence or something, perhaps you could put a note with your phone number there

Why the change?
