Why should any park bear this, it has never been a problem until the area became what it is now. Am glad I have managed to survive so far. What would happen if Rose the butcher and Moxons flooded. Not to mention the insects that will drown. Give me a break

You dont go for a shopping experience, you go for kit you use in sport. Will be missed when they go, perhas LL and the Indi shops will be able to supply the same kit at the same price? lol

Thank you for the reply. I am in my late 60's and have always lived in the area and can recall much of the flooding is due to 2 things, not keeping the sewers and drains cleared, And burst water pipes which the blocked drains etc cannot carry away. How many times can people recall seeing a regular drain cleaning lorry on the streets I cannot ever recall a Biblical flood in the area due to adverse weather Perhaps other long standing residents can comment

So a shop the majority of residents want and use. Unlike many of the others on LL. He makes money supplying want people want, it not they would go bust. This shop has been there since the begining of time. -
Vote for North Cross Road Market

If you take the time many stalls in rye lane produce what every you want. And you can haggle there if you want to slum it, according to the the ed creed. Much cheaper than ll. Depends on your mind set. It is overall a sh..t hole but it works for me -
You should also direct your question and request to the director of housing [email protected]. Cc. Chief executive. Pointing out you are unable to receive any proof. All written proof of requests will endorse your case and help should you have to go to the LVT

So you are more than happy to let commuters park all day and retrieve their car during the evening which seems to be the case?

What's going on with the phones at DMC??
spider69 replied to jennyh's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Do they still receive x number of ??? for every patient registered? If so why should they worry or change. Meeting or no meeting Far better to complain to the NHS -

At the end of the day it will come down to a legally documented agreement or not, as the case may be. Petitions will not override legal leasehold or rental agreements. What agreement in writing do they have?

What has not been mentioned is the Dutch system has evolved over many many decades. Most Dutch cities are no where near as busy as greater london. Also the Dutch are more considerate of others unlike here.
