Back to the physical reality of the Village LTN - it?s ugly and looks extemporised with the random planters, useless traffic lights and trip-friendly kerbs.

Hmm - tarmacking your drive to hire it out to EVs for charging defeats the point. If it?s already done, ok, but it?s not to be encouraged and if it?s lucrative it could do just that.

I read or heard that plugs on kerbs and not on lampposts is likely the way forward. Some people are charging at home and covering the leads with black/yellow protecters because they can?t do it otherwise. Fortunately, EV owners are generally thoughtful enough not to create trip hazards - so far.

I?d like to see ultra local committees but a London wide mega council that would operate more like city councils in, say, NYC. Sure, there?d need to be local considerations but the wealth could be spread and all those different services (but which do the same thing, like teaching or collecting rubbish) integrated. Londonb is like a mini country so having a ?parliament? and ?premier? could encourage more voting and participation. And I?ve voted even though I?m suggesting a different MO here.

They?re everywhere, and there has to be a truth behind my attempt at light humour, unless you expect and require toddlers to be the responsible ones here.

Disgusting is as disgusting does - this time one really can blame the parents *or nanny*.

Southwark council councillors need to be told as well as the local paper. Countless projects promise much but then get neglected because attention turns to the next big thing. If s water feature is there then it should be working and not left to rot.

No-mow May is perhaps the reason.

It?s good that there?s a gap of a few weeks between the cherry and crabapple/pear blossoms.

The school has security cameras so that may help you. The office there usually picks up when you ring. Best wishes for a good outcome 👍

Even organic food creates methane, effluent, takes space and uses transport etc. Lab-lamb etc. wouldn?t have anywhere near as big a carbon/methane footprint.

Of course I would. I doubt a new firm with an avowedly save the planet ethos would dodgeify their new products. I?d trust UK and European versions of such meat more than US or Asian ones simply because on the whole we have more stringent rules. I?m not a believer in making monsters out of new technology providers but I?m still cautious. I heard a vegan man who?d not had meat since 1971 day he?d eat this type of meat as it?s not causing harm to animals nor emitting lots of methane or carbon and not acting as a hothouse for future animal-to-human pathogens.

Maybe I saw greylags. I can?t be sure.

Why not put them into a charity bin - there is one at the Plough, another at Mind at Goose Green and one on Hindmans Road at the corner shop? They take clothes and recycle the ?rags?.

Email the local councillor? [email protected] I think but you can easily check that. She?s responsive and helpful in my experience. In the meantime how about slapping on the marigolds and bunging the refuse in another bin? It?s what I do so I?m not asking you to do something I would not.

This idea that aviation is a big devil is nonsense. Aviation accounts for some 2.1% of human induced emissions. If you?ve no car, pet, two kids or fewer, you?re already doing pretty greenly. Air travel is getting greener - fuels and airliner materials, with investment also in electric aircraft. The go to bogeyman is airline travel but it?s not the biggest offender by a long chalk. https://www.atag.org/facts-figures.html

Server problem ? could you give the basics?

Thanks - I think I saw a pair of raptors flying very high over Barry about ten or so days ago mid evening but they could have been crows.

The government certainly has a role but those closer to home are likely to be able to exert more influence.

Lived experience

Which part of Barry?

Maybe or coukd it have been a bird? Sometimes small birds can flit in a similar way to a bat. I?ve yet to see any bat around these parts, alas.
