Incidentally, Southwark seems to have possibly adopted a requirement of swift boxes in new-builds anyway, and I think they're not the only LA to have done so. I recently added to to my post in https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/342208-free-swift-nest-box-installation-in-se22/#comment-1703954, the edit:- [ 30/4/25, 18/6/25 ETA To answer my own question: I see that 4 swift nesting boxes were actually required at an earlier stage of that same developments application. In the 4/4/25 Decision Notice of application 24/AP/3740 is: "8. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the swift bricks details approved under 24/AP/3596 unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority ]

The reference to helicopters (plural) is exceptional. I don't think I've seen any instance, here or in any TV police-at-work series, where more than one at a time has been said to be involved. A google search found, in the first three pages, just two cases, since 2010, where two helicopters were reported. In both instances these involved police forces in two adjoining county areas, where perps in cars were being sought immediately after robberies.

Does it deal at all with the question of the anticipated per capita future costs of necessary repairs to or upgrading of the ?still largely old underground piping across their area, and how that compares with future risks existing in other areas? I wonder too whether the latest apparent concentrated spate of leaks is attributable at all to the heat. TW say that they have not made any dividend payments to external shareholders (among them a Candian teachers pension fund) since 2017. There have been like payments, though, to their holding companies (?Kemble, and Thames ?something), reportedly I think to service debts to them. Thames Water annual company reports are available online. Ofwat have also published about leakage.

Do you know what the motion was? Why does your list only contain 335 lines?

This is the first you've told us that you left them, at least six months ago. Did you go to the 23 January PPG meeting yourself? If so what happened there?

They're obviously not competent to witness the documents in the OP's case. The list of required qualifications looks to me similar to the Land Registry's requirement connected with a TR1. Vladi, from my own experience I'd not rely on email inquiries of potentials. The response I got an email to the solicitors in Melbourne Grove was from another of their branches and was inconsequential. From William Bailey, addressed to their published reception or info mailbox and saying I could drop in at very short notice, I'm afraid I got no response at all, even after also mentioning that I'd be looking for assistance with a will in the near future and expected to be asking them. From an online search i did note quite a few in the Camberwell area. In the end though I was able to rely on an online verification, arranged by one of the other parties.

I don't understand why/how Stradella Road is included in the Lambeth traffic order (in both Schedules 1 and 2) referred to above while it's shown as in Dulwich Village ward and within Southwark boundary on the Southwark map at https://geomap.southwark.gov.uk/connect/analyst/mobile/#/main. Can anyone help explain?

Alas, poor Toadflax! And gentle Alkanet.

You might leave copies of this post on the windscreens of any cars that you think may have been issued with parking tickets before you saw the suspension notices being put up. Include some contact details -- at least your forum username -- so that the owners can contact you if they wish to dispute the tickets on the ground of unlawfulness. Eventual feedback here -- presumably this would be evidence of a cancellation of any such tickets -- would be very welcome.

At what times of day do you pass?

I surmise, taking into account the existing markings, as on this from https://geomap.southwark.gov.uk/connect/analyst/mobile/#/main, that the 3m on the south side of Bawdale ouside No.2 might well be a continuation of the proposed segment along the side of 157 LL. You could ask Highways Dept. [Added 6/6 : Select "Parking Bays (Traffic Restriction Orders)" from the map's RH menu to enable the mark-up of the current yellow line etc locations. Click on actual location for textual details to appear in a LH panel].

Then someone must take multiple cuttings from the tuber and make arrangements for their possible growth into an identifiable plant. I'll even take one or two myself if any spare and try to create an experimental area in the front wilderness for them.

Was that the the time it took before reporting something like 'Fully charged'? If so, had you tried checking from time to time before then whether the battery was effective? It might also be interesting trying the charger again after a week or two, to see how well the battery is maintaining charge.

It is intimidating looking through the book sections now. I sometimes wonder if they're stocking bookshops' remainders. OTOH, when I put some books out in a cardboard box for taking, it was encouraging to see that a fair proportion of those taken were aged hardbacks.

For a start you could just try a standard shutdown and let the system try its own tidy-up and graceful process halting. Then remove the disk,which can be examined elsewhere. Alternatively doesn't windows have a task manager that can show you what processes and devices are running, and allow you to shut any down.Ctrl_Alt_Delete? Or use a command window or ?Explorer to examine any changes in the contents of the external drive.

> there's a cancel button on the keypad or screen prompt. That's reassuring. Thanks.

It might be helpful to know what kind of MO was involved. Is it possible that the hand-waving man (a) retrieved your card? (b) accessed the keypad at all? Have you found out how or where or for what item(s) the £251 transaction took place, or where your card ended up? How, btw, does one cancel an ongoing ATM withdrawal? I've got no idea in my mind of what keypad options are available.

I noticed that today too, at that corner of the Alleyn's field. Isn't it just the same as the habitual one from the school field in Greendale, just after the rail bridge? I've never quite fixed on how and exactly where that one's coming from, but have mentally tagged it as cut grass probably fermenting.

"Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Crystal Palace (Greater London, England) mast? "Crystal Palace transmitter - Crystal Palace transmitter: Possible effect on TV reception week commencing 12/05/2025 Pixelation or flickering on some or all channels" says https://ukfree.tv/transmitters/tv/Crystal_Palace. In which case I don't see any point in rescanning (not that it'll do any harm). I've not noticed any signal degradation at all, TV or BBC radio, so it sounds as if it's probably intermittent. Ah - I did notice a couple of brief R4 breaks yesterday, and assumed they were studio glitches. I don't think either lasted more than a minute.

Two Tuesdays ago, around 10:40, I was walking up Greendale, still in the flattish bit, just before the first side paths, when I met a family of geese who were walking down the path in the opposite direction. One adult at the front, accompanying maybe 8-10 little furballs, with a second bringing up the rear, honking loudly at about fifty to the minute. I moved out of their way and wondered what if anything to do. A man who was walking behind them -- I didn't know whether with them -- mentioned the park, which did seem the obvious good and likely destination. Wherever, they seemed to know what they were doing, and seemed to be getting on with it very well without any help at all, so I just stood there and wondered ... A couple of minutes later, no-one in sight. A woman sitting outside JAGS said she'd seen a man/men who'd stopped the traffic on EDG so that the geese could cross safely, so well done them. Did the geese get to the park, or anywhere hospitable? I was hoping and half expecting to read that they'd been seen arriving, but nothing here at all.

How many are there in your racist category?

> Or else it's a relatively thin trunk? Or a rather thick old trunk, covered in leaf growth? Look at the damage caused to the end and right hand railings. NewWave, any chance of loading your neighbour's photo here? Or anyone else with some good focused photos, from various viewpoints if possible?

That seems to be a multi-pronged multi-product company specialising in selling services to councils, etc. See eg https://uk.one.network/customer-stories. Their dynamic relay of real-time congestion reports may be useful, but I've no idea how complete or authoritative it is. And are there any other public utilities available on that site? I've found https://public.londonworks.gov.uk/roadworks/home useful for full access to the London Roadworks Register. Enter, say, just Southwark and you can get a list or map of all current and planned roadworks. There's also https://streetcare.tfl.gov.uk/ for reporting and viewing reports of street problems, from major to very minor. I've used it to report a vandalised bus stop display panel, very minor; but I see that something to do with traffic lights (for which TfL have, I believe, statutory responsibility) can be dealt with quickly: eg https://streetcare.tfl.gov.uk/report/7456860. I'm far from sure that they're directly responsible for dealing with contractors' faulty mobile traffic lights, though their remit does extend to anything that might indirectly affect the red routes. Otherwise it would I believe be a problem owned by the borough and the contractor. See https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/boroughs-and-communities/information-by-borough?intcmp=17175#on-this-page-2 about suitable contacts. A few days after writing the following I did see that the faulty mobile lights in Grove Vale did have an 0800 phone number for Conway on it. Any one of us could have phoned them at any time, and presumably achieved something useful to all. Or even given streetcare a try. Perhaps, presumably, none of us did. In which case, nostra culpa. "I spent half an hour, shortly after the first warning on the forum, observing and making a voice recording logging all the changes [and flows], but never got round to collating them. There were some very definite faults like [mobile light stuck at red], probably intermittent in nature. And some of the basic timing seemed to have some excessive intervals, possibly for the safety of pedestrians, though I'd be very wary of saying they should be shorter without good analysis. And overall, the traffic seemed very tolerant of the waits, and not jammed to the extent of creating longer and longer queues. I'm not sure what a traffic flow analyst would make of it."
