Goose Green councillors - how can we help?
Spartacus replied to jamesmcash's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Thanks legal Wonder if the traders have been invited? -
You're right Malumbu, not forgetting cancelling the last route master historic route, building an over running / over cost tube line , not getting knife crime under control , failing to fund the police correctly and not forgetting installing measures to reduce pollution that make it worse and don't account for elderly and the disabled (street space) The mayors done loads of things for us...

I thought this was useful https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-40ac92b1-1750-4e86-9936-2cda6b0acb3f It also appears that the surge testing for the SA variant in Lambeth and Wandsworth will be extended into part of Southwark due to its presence also being discovered in wastewater. Still alcohol gel wash kills it, so the young are hoping for the same effect from going to the pub 😱

There is a worrying development coming out of Chile at the moment, despite being ahead in vaccinating the population they are now suffering a third wave. https://www.theweek.co.uk/news/world-news/americas/952437/why-chile-battling-coronavirus-surge-despite-rapid-vaccine The article talks about using the Pfizer vaccination with a high efficacy and the Chinese vaccination (CoronaVac) which now appears to have an efficacy of around 50%. Scientist are trying to understand why they are in a third wave and if it's linked to 50% of those receiving Coronavac being vulnerable to the Brazilian variant, however they did unlock back in January when the vaccination program was in its infancy and people dropped their guard. Should this be a warning for us all during this next phase of unlocking from recent restrictions? I guess the phrase "they think it's all over" can't be used just yet and fingers crossed the vaccinations we are using here will be enough to stop another wave against our shores.

Pedestrianization of Lordship Lane
Spartacus replied to mco6215's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Jim Just watch the carnage that would cause on Crystal Palace road, not to mention the loss of buses on the Lane sending them down Barry Road. With the roads off Lordship Lane around Melbourne Grove closed to traffic, the shops will suffer more than they are already. Not a good idea in the slightest 😱 -

Queens Husband, Edinburgh - Prince Philip has died age 99

The news channels have tributes already made up for major public figures that they add to and update on a rolling basis just in case. Hardly shocking foxy, it's something they plan for and possibly have been since moving pictures were first invented. Good business practice IMHO -

Spartacus replied to natty01295's topic in The Lounge
I agree Malumbu, bbc1 and bbc2 are showing exactly the same program. If they had different content then fine but the same content is strange. Very sad for the Queen at this time -
Trades people who when invited to come to your residence to quote on a job, turn up without a face mask. Thank you but no even if they are the cheapest quote.

Lynne I have had so many arguments with banks asking them to prove who they are before I give details over to prove who I am Totally agree with your comments but the banks / card companies don't get it. I now put the phone down then ring the number on the back of my card from another phone (to stop the holding the line open scam) Someone has to come up with a better, more secure system.

On this there is no argument, it's madness in built up areas and half of their owners can't park for toffee so end up taking up one and a half spaces (either length or width) -

You could buy various different tea bags, split the bags open and then make your own blend 🤔

That's park life for you Malumbu

Location is also important, for example if on the banks of the river Nile then gone noon half past monsoon. But that's Madness 😎

Brilliant An hour ago my bank contacted me to say that there has been an attempt to withdraw money from my account on a new device. On their instructions I transferred to a new account (I'm overdrawn so that's going to be interesting) Half an hour later HMRC called as I owe them unpaid taxes, I gave them my new account details to do a direct debit from. Curious to see if robbing scammer one to pay scammer two will work .. for information I didn't really fall for it and no actual details were given out.

Correct dkhb, but removing the cars and not providing alternatives is what the council are proposing It's got to be joined up thinking, not just doing it on a wing and a prayer without massive investment in public transport.

Pedestrianization of Lordship Lane

alice Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > thanks S. and DF check out the crime map for Rye > lane street crime has not gone up. But I still > want the buses back. Hi Alice The crime map works on "reported" crime, from conversations I've had with residents who live above and around Rye Lane crime has increased but it isn't being reported which is why on paper the numbers aren't going up. My suggestion is that a conversation needs to be had with businesses and residents to ascertain the situation and despite the council saying they held a consultation before closing the lane, no one I have spoken with was involved and businesses were "told" Rye Lane was closing (hardly a consultation) I agree the buses need to return as its killing the Lane and disabled and elderly can't access the shops. -
