I?m curious. The demand for nursery places in ED is off the charts which is going to have to be met somehow, some day. There are local nurseries with literally hundreds on their waiting lists. Exactly where would this vital provision go if not here? The nursery we used was very successful in persuading people not to use their cars, and that was well before the nightmare of road closures happened. There is no way anyone is going to want to drive to this location at drop off and pick up times unless forced at gunpoint so I genuinely cannot see what the issue is.

There?s a remote camera high up on a post outside the Foxtons on the corner of Crawthew shrine. Not sure who owns it, but worth finding out..

I once took an injured sparrow to Neighbourhood Vets after it flew straight into our french windows. Took it down there in a shoebox, they sorted him out and let him go. Just to quash unpleasant rumours about vets killing animals.. because clearly that's why they took up the profession?!

I constantly wonder why people don't realise that it's not that places like Franklins are expensive. It's more that other places are outrageously cheap and have allowed people to believe incorrectly that their prices are fair to the planet and everyone in the chain.

Very sorry to hear this news - wish the staff much luck.

Jeez, we rented a ground floor flat in that building for a month in Jan 2016. Just two months before they condemned it!

The nursery we were with had a waiting list of 300 people when we left last month. You basically need to put your name down when you conceive. Yes, there are that many babies. Quality nursery provision is nowhere near required levels in the area.

Vitally important she gets the vaccine.

Crystal Palace Market is doing it right. Cordoned the whole thing off and controlling entry. Bit of a queue getting in but greatly improved safety. No reason NXR couldn't do something similar.

If you're west of LL, you'll probably get one. If you're east you won't.

They've done a bang up job of dividing the area right into two.

That and created havoc with their closing of a dozen roads in a child-like experiment to see what happens when you halve the available space for traffic flow. And after they inexplicably carpeted the area with unnecessary yellow lines to reduce parking spaces by 10%.

Why would Southwark have a user-friendly website when they are clearly the community's sworn enemy?

Good luck living here.

Wow. Extraordinary in-depth journalism there.

Barely a single paragraph. I got more insight from MarkT! They might have interviewed the owner or something, anything..

I've been going to the OKR Recycling centre for 10 years and there's always been a cardboard section there. In fact it's the first one you come to!

Not much considering the price of the skip/ removal van crew/large delivery you need it for. Versus the excess cost of all those things when you can't legitimately get them close to your home.

While excessive use of bins is hardly going to make you popular, there really is no alternative on busy streets when you're expecting a skip, removal van or heavy deliveries. The council will not give you official permission to block a space unless it's a suspendable bay or you're a utility. That's another privilege people in the CPZ get.

I think when this whole godforsaken mess is over people will be dying for group shared experiences so if cinemas and venues can hang in there long enough, the future could be pretty bright.

Most reliable sources show Tenet having done extremely well. Especially in the UK so I don't know why people are saying otherwise.

I've lived here over 10 years and never found I couldn't breathe outside. This is something different.

Any idea where on NXR it's happening?

The air is unbreathable tonight, smells like a mixture of burning paper and some kind of chemical. My entire family have headaches - can anyone shed any light? And if you're the cause, please stop!

People kept saying that apocalyptic predictions were overblown. And yet GG, EDR and LL are now at a near permanent standstill. I can't park within 5 streets of my house unless I do it at midnight, and the vicious hell the council saw fit to visit upon us people on the east side of LL has come to pass.

And just for good measure, they close Melbourne Gv. As if people there weren't rich enough they now get a council-sponsored quiet neighbourhood which should be good for ?100k. After me, 'All in this together' 😀

My understanding is that to repurpose most of the building and upgrade it to expected building standards would come with such an outrageous price tag that it can't be justified.

Not that outrageous and unjustifiable sums haven't been spent on other things mind.

There is cctv on a post above the corner of Foxtons. It may have been pointing the tight way but I don't know who it belongs to.

So sorry for your situation. People going down one ways the wrong way in this area is reaching maddening levels.

Just going to say, they're obviously seeing this as an alternative opportunity. The unit will still be in use and more people will benefit. There are way worse stories coming.

As others have pointed out, I'm really looking forward to what happens when all schools are back come September. I doubt the website will be able to cope with the fury. All these measures are taken by some utopian lunatic with no thought to the resulting pressures and the assumption that everyone is just gagging to hop on a bike. Not everyone is able-bodied. People have children. They come with a lot of baggage. More if they're disabled. Some people have heavy equipment they need for their work. Are they supposed to stick that in a rucksack? And even assuming people are at some point to return to public transport, the links into ED are nothing short of appalling at the best of times. Asking people to swap a twenty minute car journey for an hour on a bus is completely nuts.

It's laudable to have a vision for the future of city life but there need to be viable alternatives in place or in the pipeline when the revolution starts otherwise you're just asking for chaos. September.. put it in your diary.

At a time when we're being discouraged from using public transport, it's stupifyingly moronic to bring these measures in now.

Seems to me the only beneficiaries are the already wealthy property owners of Melbourne Gv and Calton Ave. And while we're on the subject, how is it that the wealthiest streets in the area always have perfect, freshly laid pavements and road surfaces? Just asking.
