The railings look great and really enhances that side of the road. I used to live on Underhill Rd opposite the cemetery and the fencing always looked q shabby and blocked views of very nice greenery. It did also attract fly tipping.

What's the difference between "brazen property development" and "property development"? There seems to be some issue here with an investor (of whichever sort)looking to make a profit from developing something people actually may need and want (housing, better community facilities, etc). What's the alternative? Perhaps we should just wait for the 1950s to come back and the State can fund everything we ever needed. Or perhaps not. Looking forward to seeing what people say at the consultation.

It's not that easy though is it. From what I've read DHFC have been on dodgy ground (literally and financially) for some time. Two things are clear - there is an opportunity to change the current configuration of the facilities to make it more sustainable in the long-term; it's also fair to say that the club is on a real upward curve in terms of attendances and engaging local communities so this is the time to maximise that groundswell of support. One other thing I'd add is that there is an urgent need for more housing, that is undeniable. Any "affordable housing" will only be built if it's cross-subsidised by private sale - the days of Central govt-funded social housing is over. I think there's a lot of good in the general proposal, be interesting to see what the overall "local" view is.

Went yesterday for a quick pop in. Much improved on The Rose and was actually very busy (where did they all come from?). Garden could be amazing when it's a bit warmer. Staff really friendly and vinyl a nice touch. Have to say though that ?8something for 1 and a half pints of ale and a pineapple juice seems OTT. I can't see how ?5 for a small glass of wine is reasonable. Hmmm, we'll see.

Just seen this which is a bit depressing.... http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/dec/13/parents-protest-pay-to-play-parks-privatising-green-spaces?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other Would be useful to have a meeting with Southwark to find out the plan...

Another thumbs up here for Steve - great service, very efficient and highly recommended. Sorted our washing machine with no fuss.

Not sure if possible but I bike that journey quite a lot and it's 15 mins tops.

Just remembered there was one on Underhill Rd near Barry Road junction. Bought a crunchie there in 1999. Now houses.

They're perfect for new housing developments which is much more profitable. Ditto pubs.

That's really useful - thanks everyone for suggestions. Will try out asap.

There are probably previous threads on this but my initial search turned up zero. Does anyone have any good tips on the quickest/shortest route on a bike from SE22 to the nearest bit of quiet/countryside area for a longer ride? I see the cyclists heading down from Crystal Palace but haven't had the chance to ask them about their preferred routes. I'm unlikely to join a club this year so if anyone has any tips please share. Thanks.

Totally agree, should be brill.

We had ours done in 2010 - cost ?10K from memory. We've got a 1920's 3-bed. Power Roofing - they were excellent.

I think Ron = Louisa and Louisa = Ron therefore how about some kind of comfy-walled cell?

A shop that sells only eggs on a Wednesday, 1100-1230.

At least the pigeons don't wear flying helmets and chalk up bacon sandwiches on their wings.

I'd give another shout for Harradines - they're local and very efficient.

Balance bikes are amazing and much better in terms of transition to proper cycling. Our 4 year old got off his balance bike a month ago and got onto a "big boys" bike without stabilisers. Promptly cycled all around P Rye park without falling off or even that looking likley. He has gone from the BB to proper cycling without any stress whatsoever. Get one!
