How could it be if it is a council estate? You wouldn't/couldn't find out the truth as the politicians keep it from the masses to promulgate the theory of improved/decent estates. Does it matter, if there are council tenants it's a bad investment. The bills could be anything as you would have to pay the council tenants (layabouts) share.

Love is all Around - The Troggs

The building opposite was a fully functioning police station until, as JB has indicated,the mid 70's. Shortly before it closed, it had a rather grand official visit from the Queen Mother for some kind of celebration, the purpose of which escapes my memory just now. When the station on L.L./Whately Road opened, the CID remained at CPR for a number of years, indeed, expanding at one stage to the extent of requiring pre-fab huts in the car park at the back.

peckhambog, you ask "how many tragedies" etc. Regrettably, it is a fact,in certain parts of the country,that one of the criteria for a speed camera (or other traffic calming measures) installation is that a death MUST occur before one will be installed. I do not know if this applies in Southwark, perhaps JB can answer this. I feel that speeding will not be reduced in built up town and city 30mph zones until we introduce a radical, and yes some would say draconian,change in the law. I feel we need a system whereby speeding in this instance is treated as follows: 1st offence: Relatively Substantial Fine eg: ?100. This is on the basis that anybody could "drift" over the limit by accident in a moment of loss of concentration, which, although I know is unacceptable, it does happen. 2nd offence: Short Duration Driving Ban eg: 3/6 months. Having had the benefit of the doubt as above, no excuses/reasons as the driver should have been wholly aware of their circumstances. Further, the ability for the courts to go straight to sanction two for a first offence if the speeding was substantial eg:anything over 40mph on the basis of at those speeds you would have been aware of going to fast. Also, the normal licence endorsement of three points at a stage one and two, thus accruing six points toward any other possible driving ban. Thoughts on this would be interesting.

BNG, on what, precisely,do you consider yourselves middle-class? Residency in E.D.? Highly educated? I do not ask in a contradictory manner, I am genuinely interested as I posed the question previously in another thread some while ago.

Loz, quite right, it is "shoo-in",fingers didn't type what my brain told them (sits back and awaits the abuse/comments about "my brain"). Agree with all your observations regarding swings in voting patterns

Under the Moon of Love - Showaddywaddy

reshamkotecha, thank you for addressing my question, I wonder if you feel the inequality in the law (that I refer to) needs changing. se22cat, understand your sentiments completely, but these individuals represent different levels of government. James Barber is a local (very good) councillor, this is a candidate for national politics. Also, you have hardly re-discovered the wheel "somewhat cosy relationships with contractors" this has gone on since time immemorial at the local golf club, freemasons lodge, etc etc.

House of the Rising Sun - The Animals

That's fair enough, Admin, didn't properly absorb the "ED/SC" aspect. My question was genuine, though, as wanted to hear the O.P. opinion on the most disgraceful anomaly within our criminal justice system and was not intended as candidate bashing.

Actually, I do have a question for you that concerns me. What do you think about a system that allows M.P.'s to "fiddle" their expenses and when they are caught out they are allowed to just say sorry it was a mistake I didn't realise and do not face prosecution (in the main) but a person on benefits (and I am not referring to deliberate fraud)who makes a mistake is unable to claim it was such as under benefit rules a genuine and innocent oversight is no excuse under the law and they then face the full might of the criminal system?

WOW....electioneering already, and the election has not even been called yet!!!!!!!
