Bad design, indifferent cyclists (sometimes), unaware pedestrians makes for accidents. It ought to be redesigned and "policed" once redone.

I was told by the woman working on the move that the new library will be bigger than the old one and there will be new fixtures and fittings. She said the move should be pretty easy because all they have to move is the books/CDs, etc.

For about ninety seconds the length of LL (viewed from the new school/old police station, up and down) was empty of moving traffic. There was not a bus, moped, cyclist, car or van. Barry Road was similarly quiet about ten minutes later (1625, or thereabouts). It must be to do with the fact that schools are on holiday. It really reminded me of how traffic would often disappear even on busy roads for a few minutes way back when.

This is sad news. The stall holders were enthusiastic, friendly and savvy. One cake maker (whose brownies were delicious) was especially positive and had just started her business that week. The organisers, who also had the hot drinks stand, I think, were very welcoming and positive. I hope they all come back and don't feel too bruised from this experience.

Yes, that's possible. How come it was moving away from the pond? Do they go a-wandering often, frogs? Is there a boggy area on the Hill?

Last night whilst taking a walk in the drizzle I saw a frog hopping from the gutter onto the pavement at Dawson's Hill, near to the junction with Upland Road. It was odd to see it there because I do not know of any pond or marsh near there. Can anyone offer any ideas as to how it got to Dunstan's Road? Thanks much

It was great last week, despite the heavy rain and chilly weather. This week (Saturday) a sign said it had been postponed till further notice, just one week after it had opened. I hope it comes back soon.

I think I just heard it! Is it on the school side of Dunstans or across the crossroads going to Underhill?

I have fond that Google Maps does not include all options (such as Overground/Ginger) and that TfL does not include BR journeys (which I suppose is correct as BR is not part of TfL).

Glad to see this and I wish it well but would hope that the signage is just temporary. The design is great but it doesn't fit over the old restaurant's sign and the other one has been tied onto another old sign.

Ah, feel free to delete, eds.

... a fish/chip restaurant, licensed and should be open by the end of October.

A replacement bank card has not arrived but the PIN did. Post arrives at odd times of the day. Is this the new normal?

I admire your confidence but some of the fantastic murals (the one near the EDT; the one on the side of the William Hill: the one on Goodrich Road) have all been vandalised by thoughtless "taggers". The works need to be protected with a varnish. Just look at the lovely one near to Goose Green playground, which was touched up to cover over tagging and then got tagged again if you need more proof that all "taggers" don't respect art.

Such a shame that happened. Could you coat it with a special varnish that would make it easier to take the scrawl off?

...a window frame specialist shop, just like the new one three doors down (on Forest Hill Road)!

only by Costa, Nando's - The problem with this statement is that it takes responsibility for such monoculture away from the consumer. ?2.+ coffee and factory-farmed/sometimes-ritually-slaughtered chicken are what people want, it seems, including those who bemoan the state of the high street (and animal welfare). If people didn't want (or, more likely, if they were willing to face up to the realities of) such purchases the high street would be different.

Shop or no shop, we can all cut down on packaging and waste: own cups to coffee shops, buying in bulk/concentrated liquids, etc, not buying stuff we do not need in the first place.

Hardly any work done at Whateley - just the theatre of construction: big signs; barriers; heavy machinery. Does Conway do several jobs at once - same workers on both but at different parts of the day or what?

It was meant for taper.
