Is a residential parking permit ?125 a year for a standard car?

I warned a lady returning to one of these spaces the other day that she must have left her child in the shop. I offered to watch her trolley so she could find them but she didn?t take me up on it.

Virtually no waste goes to landfill these days. Green bin waste in Southwark is sorted into recyclates or material used for fuel.

Very little waste goes to landfill these days. Recycle bins easier for the waste groups to manage but putting recyclables into general waste will likely be sorted into recycling, or used for energy production.

Both the FHR and LL Co-ops are dreadfully managed shops. Dirty, fridges often broken, stock issues. I really feel for their staff as they always seem to have too much to do.

The FHR store is my nearest shop but I nearly always walk to the Sainsbury's on LL as they are chalk and cheese.

I genuinely can?t see an issue in Zipcars being parked on residential streets for residents to use. I am not talking advertising cars as this isn?t on ? I mean ?for rent? cars that could make ownership redundant.

Seems there are more mean spirited people in ED than I imagined.

I agree with Mark and his 'bit of a nob' comment.

Generally people who use Zipcar don't have a car. As such it seems perfectly reasonably to me for these folk to be able to park a hired car on the street near their house, or to leave a car there waiting for a new user.

This all equates to less cars on our streets on average.

'Cutting the number of deaths and injuries' as a goal is obviously great. But putting 7.5m of double lines arbitrarily on each side (so 15 metres per corner) is surely overkill.

Yes you can always do more and certain types will always say 'you can't be too careful/prudent' - but excessive yellows cause problems for everyone who wants to park somewhere without a proportionate benefit.

Not voting labour this year for pretty much the first time in my life. This proposal is another nail in the coffin.

If you read the article its the top end that's taken the biggest hit

But Southwark only 3.9% down so no great shakes.

Does anyone know who actually pays the LLW on Lordship?

It seems odd to me to boycott PH but not other places with similar skill requirements.

Perhaps it may be fairer to support those places paying the LLW, rather than picking out one place that doesn't.

I think busses do take longer than say a couple of years ago ? my 63 from Herne Tavern to the other side of Blackfriars used to be a reasonably consistent 45 minutes or so. Since the road works this has extended ? at times considerably.

I took the decision to try cycling in January 2016 and have not looked back ? you realise how central we are when it takes c30 minutes door to office door, no matter what the traffic, weather or who is on strike. Most workplaces have changing rooms/showers and its pretty flat all the way so you don't need to be fit.

Very little of the route I take is in competition with cars too ? so not exactly the death trap some talk of. So I would advise people in ED to cycle in where possible.

In fairness to council tax payers it should be pretty easy to deposit waste in this location ? it always was in the past. I get that there are budget constraints but now that you have to pay for pick ups from your home (?16 last time I did it and they didn?t even take everything that was listed), there should be a simple system of using a hire van (or putting your seats down in a car) without having to worry. I get the impression this is about making life difficult to reduce council costs, which will only result in fly-tipping.

I went with my wife last nice - thought it was excellent. A lovely little place and am sure to go back.

Not cheap but I thought very reasonable really.

Playground a disastrous muddy mess today. Big bog in the middle, much unusable for kids. The expensive rebuild was a huge missed opportunity - worse now than before the works.

Agree with this.

Is this not a government agency paying a government agency? these are just different state pots so the 6m number is ultimately pretty meaningless.

Good design shouldn't be more expensive than bad design either.

Hugely underwhelmed with both progress and what the objective actually was. Seems to be a few new paving slabs alongside existing pavement that could/should have also been replaced. If you're widening the pavement surely they would replace the existing pavement too.

I get the 63 every morning to Blackfriars and the contractor should be ashamed of their progress versus the new bike lanes (started after, much bigger, much more impressive, nearer being finished than started).

Tolerance is lacking these days. What's wrong with a bit of live and let live?

Anyone who bought a house in 2005paid over the odds? If only I'd been such a mug

Yes. You'd have to be daft not to

I hope it doesn't eat the elephant I have just seen leave Iceland

Park in the disabled space and explain why or alternatively just have a chat.
