If the pub has to go hope the coffee shop will have to go as well that will take it back to how it was Thank god I gave up commuting long ago. You have my sympathy.

Its been a social hub long before the commuting new arrivals turned up, If you dont like it find another mode of travel. It also serves a rest point for those people who have spent a tiring time at the hospital

How about getting rid of the coffee shop? People always went thru there in the past. The pub has been there before many of todays commuters turned up on the scene.

This should have been picked up on the pre-assignment questionnaire. If you have never received a S20 the max you would have to pay per property is ?250 If you bought with the previous owner aware then solicitor is liable as it should have been declared

Think this confirms don't buy Council stock.

Would the Council have advertised this victory or work on the basis that if you don't know you won't challenge. How many people in the same block pay responsive repairs not knowing a neighbour has challenged and won.

Why. What have I missed over the last 50 years. Bleak, dank and dirty

It would make sense if you and Cllr Smith spoke to each other. No wonder things don't get done

Because I would like to see the ugly concrete pillboxes that front and surround the station pulled down and have a pleasant usable space in their place instead of the dirty dank space that is there. The whole space from the station to Bellenden road should be razed and developed for the use of all. You could even have a Dutch style cycle park for comuters instead of row upon row of car repair units and a scrap yard. It could be the starting point for the railway walk. How pleasant that would be.

Good they will be clearing it. I look forward to a clean and open square. They could always include a small museum to loose hair and rubbish.

Blenheim Grove, station way, does that mean we are stuck with the ugly concrete block houses instead of a fully open square?

Well that's probably secured a grant for the next few years to keep them happy. Beats doing a proper job

"A ?700k Southwark Council fund to deploy physical measures on the most blatant areas of people speeding greater than 20mph will be used soon. But ?700k will result in very few physically measures." For what and where?

Actually no.

That was why pavements were invented. If people used their brains and applied common sense which is sadly lacking there would be no problem.

471 people responded. 40% of those contacted The number of people contacted is woeful. Are these responses from 471 individual people at 471 separate address's or just email responses where any amount of views can be given from separate email address from a very few number of homes. Green pressure groups come into their own with surveys like this and do not represent what most people see only what they want. Southwark love to use percentages because they can hid a very poor response rate to back the decision they want to enact. C.C meetings are just a cover to push through what ever they want. I live in the area and received no contact at all.

As for a full itemised breakdown of all repairs. As a leaseholder you are required in your case if a two flat property to contribute 50% of all responsive and structural repair costs. Downside of a Council leasehold property

Posted by Townleygreen September 19, 08:19AM I like Lidl but if I'm doing a largeish shop with a car, I can never get everything I want there! It's then a pain to go somewhere else for the last few bits

A statue of JB maybe?

Why do they have to be in front of the traffic? Why not behind each other in an orderly line? When traffic moves they move off in a sensible fashion. Still if you have spent lots of dosh on butt enhancing Lycra I guess you would want all to see

Perhaps these people need to drive these short distances because of a medical problem?

Have you asked all Southwark Residents if they want the 20 mph. Nobody that I know thinks it is warranted. Side residential streets yes, busy major roads no. I quess it would be embarrassing to back track to actually show some sort of common sense rather than pure political dogma. Page 7 put of 10 in the manifesto regarding this was a little sneaky.

Why did I know that some one would put a comment up like this. All it takes is common sense to equate to the surroundings. Raise the speed limit to 100 mph from Goose Green to Townley Road. Could you achieve it, no Common sense

The solution is very simple. Return to the 30 mph limit which never seemed to present any problems until now. Remember. People walk on pavements not roads. When you need to cross use a crossing or as your mother would have told you, "look left, look right and left again" and if all clear cross. Result less accidents on the road. Why can today's people not practice this. It is called living in the real world. As someone mentioned earlier they have not experienced anything much over 20 mph which I find very scary. Again it all comes down to one thing "common sense and awareness"
