But only if they all use the same type of banding .As far as I know the admissions policies for Habs ,Kingsdale and Harris are all different .

Thanks Penguin ,that all makes sense . It must be a myth about granting planning permission in this way . My memory is that it was a couple of years ago ,but I must be wrong . Not quite following your post Strafer - which may be my failure ,not yours ! I understand about needing less cars and definitely needing affordable housing . My point was - planning permission shouldn't be granted if it's dependent on a condition that can't be enforced .

We need more clues ! What does he do as a job ? Leisure ? I know it's a cliche but luxury socks ? Cashmere ?

Strafer - I think it would be a problem if Southwark granted permission on a condition that wasn't enforceable .

Yes that's my thinking . But I've got it in my head that permission was given on this basis somewhere . I've searched Southwark Planning for the Co op site because I think it related to that property ( when it was Somerfield ) but can't find anything .

I have heard that in the past planning permission was granted for a development on Lordship Lane - flats above a shop ,possibly what is now the Co Op - on condition that residents didn't own cars . Does anyone know if this is true ?

so sorry that you're still without help . Clockmakers museum????? http://www.clockmakers.org/museum-and-library/museum/

Nodal point - sounds like an excellent solution !

Thank you James . Can't do the photo thingy but will report . The 3 bins directly behind the northbound Goodrich Rd bustop on Barry Rd are disgusting .

James - I've copied this from my post on a thread about revolting bins and wondered what your thoughts might be . James ,anyone else ,another common scenario is when builders doing up a property or some other third party ( I don't want to malign the builders the majority of whom are professional ) such as clearance of a flat between lettings ,dumps loads of inappropriate rubbish in a bin .They move on and new people move into property with overflowing and unemptied bins . There have been/still are 3 bins by one of the bus stops in Barry Rd - flies buzzing ,stuff on the ground . If I moved in to such a situation I honestly wouldn't know/have the stomach or strength to set about sorting the bins out . What's the best course of action - do Southwark have a phone nos to report such misuse while it's happening and somehow ( don't know how ) take the culprits to task ? Or a service which the new tenants can call on for help ?

I think chupa has a point "What Southwark needs to do is make all schools accessible regardless of distance etc,(just as Kingsdale manages to do!) so that people can't create these social divides and in so doing mix the schools up class, colour etc. etc and see which education org wins and produces the best education for all kids." I know that Southwark now lacks the ability to influence admissions policies - not even sure that it still operates an Admissions Forum ,though even when it did it took no action to correct the Charter's misapplication of it's close walking distance policy . Bring back the ILEA or a new pan London wide admissions policy so that all schools could operate banding to achieve a truly comprehensive intake . Unless all schools operate banding and particularly where banding is operated only in the context of the group of applicants who have applied for a school we aren't going to have comprehensive intakes . "I suggest you look at class and race in schools in Peckham se15, that can easily service the middle classes but who shy away from them on the basis that they have a predominantly different ethnic mix and class make up to their own, lets not pretend!" I think it's true that The Academy @Peckham has a different social and minority intake to The Charter despite it being easily accessible from East Dulwich ,being undersubscribed and residents of East Dulwich anxious to find secondary school places .

Have Charter specified which admissions criteria they plan to use if their bid is succesful ?Same as existing school ? Shortest safe walking distance ?

Perhaps Southwark could produce stickers to go on bins with ticked and crossed pics . Like the leaflets but stick on the bin itself .

I'd like to do a system restore but it says it may effect my Word programme . Any advice ? Trying to system restore because the Malware Bytes anti malware I installed to get rid of a bug keeps crashing . Grateful for any help ,particularly if aimed at not very skilled user who feels scared of smart phones .

Does anyone know if the burst water main has been repaired and whether the exceptional traffic problems at Camberwell Green are now cleared / Not mentioned on BBC traffic news so I'm guessing they are but wanted to check .

So trouble will persist tomorrow ?

I take it this was mega bad this morning ( weds ) because of an accident/s ? Are there roadworks there as well ,is it likely to be bad for someone travelling to Victoria on 185 ? Well worse than usual . Have cash strapped student working in Victoria who is keen to minimise costs by using bus as opposed to train .

Did Steve have any ideas when he came ?

Trees on Barry Rd being trimmed as I post .

Kristals http://www.npwr.org/kristalpharmacy.htm are a fantastic chemist they have loads of stock ,always helpful ,understanding and speedy . Give them a ring .

Two mature plane trees in full leaf were decimated/pollarded in Highshore Rd on Tuesday . Why oh why do they have to keep doing this in June ? Has to be bad news for insects ,birds ,not to mention the tree . Oh ,and then there's impact on those of us who love to see a little greenery and shade in an urban landscape .

So so sorry . Know how we'd feel if it were one of our cats .

Oh excellent point bawdy-nan . Quite agree - storage tent brilliant idea.
