If you find yourself getting no responses here (especiially in this section) I found through websearch that Camberwell seemed well provided with ads for suitable firms. That was after non-response to two emails to an SE22 solicitor. No local knowledge to offer though., I'm afraid. In the end a remote witnessing was arranged for me.

The leaves were swept last year, and every year I remember. Why 'reinstate'? The schedules are published at https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/street-care/autumn-leaf-collection. I am not a council member, employee, adviser, agent, representative, publicist, stooge, or related to any of these.

There is actually an official grace period of ten minutes, but that applies only to a "designated parking space", which OP wasn't in. It's mentioned in https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-enforcement-of-parking-contraventions/guidance-for-local-authorities-on-enforcing-parking-restrictions, ie: Grace periods Parking policy should be designed to enable people to access the community and carry on their business as easily as possible. Whilst it is important to undertake enforcement, to prevent abuse of parking facilities to the detriment of the majority, enforcement should be sensitive, fair and proportionate. This would not be the case if a driver received a PCN for returning to their vehicle only moments after the expiry of a period of permitted parking. Therefore, the law requires that a penalty charge must [footnote 20] not be issued to a vehicle which has stayed parked in a parking place on a road or in a local authority’s car park beyond the permitted parking period for a period not exceeding 10 minutes. The grace period applies to on-street and off-street parking places provided under traffic orders, whether the period of parking is paid for or free. Any penalty charge during the 10-minute grace period would be illegal unless the vehicle itself is parked unlawfully (for example, where the motorist has not paid any required parking fee or displayed a parking ticket where required). It is important that all CEOs understand that grace periods only apply to designated parking places where a person is permitted to park. A road with a restriction (for example, single yellow line) or prohibition (such as a double yellow line) is not a ‘designated’ parking place either during - or outside of - the period of the restriction or prohibition.

Some incidental background info, (I presume this is the relevant edition of Panorama), from https://www.c21media.net/news/blue-ant-studios-takes-october-films-president-trump-a-second-chance-to-cannes/: Blue Ant Studios to shop BBC’s President Trump: A Second Chance? in Cannes October Films’ President Trump: A Second Chance? airs on the BBC this month Blue Ant Studios will launch forthcoming documentary President Trump: A Second Chance? (working title) at Mipcom this month. Produced by October Films in the UK, the 1×60’ doc, which has just wrapped production, was commissioned by the BBC for its Panorama strand, where it will premiere on October 29. President Trump: A Second Chance? will provide an up-to-date and comprehensive look at Donald Trump’s run for the White House over the past 18 months. Featuring expert analysis, archive material and interviews with those closest to Trump, the doc asks how it has been possible for a now-convicted felon to be within striking distance of securing a second term as president. Blue Ant Studios holds the international licensing rights to the doc, excluding the UK. It will be joined on its Mipcom slate by nature series Walking with Elephants (3×60’) and Roman history doc Emperor: Rise & Fall of a Dynasty. Karolina Kaminska 10-10-2024 ©C21Media

Files attached here. 🙂 The files do seem still available at the link concorde provided above. site_notice.pdf BT_brochure.pdf

Do mobile phone users have any reception problems in that part of LL? PS There's a BT brochure about them at https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/files/9C2ACB97B33D4EE9E2D88FF630639C14/pdf/25_AP_2825-STREET_HUBS_BEYOND_CONNECTION_V2.1-4143500.pdf From which: "Street Hubs are free-standing structures featuring digital HD display screens on two sides. The screens display content at 10-second intervals, both the commercial content that funds the service as well as a wide range of local community and council content." and "Advertising for businesses of all sizes Street Hubs represent the latest in advertising platforms – an affordable, accessible digital advertising solution that specifically targets Street Hubs close to small businesses." I think if I saw one of the local businesses flashing their ads at me while out peaceably walking in my neighbourhood I'd almost certainly be put off using them.

I see from the Site Notice https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/files/B867B0B45973C03BE4D45CE4513BDE35/pdf/25_AP_2825-SITE_NOTICE-4151698.pdf that the "Comment by" date is 5 November. My understanding is that comments submitted after that date can and ?will still be considered if the decision-making hasn't yet been done; so I wouldn't let the date in itself deter you if you want to comment now. Was the site notice actually posted near the location, btw? Does the hub have any claimed functions other than advertising?

Phone numbers don't seem obviously available. You can contact individual fire stations within any borough via on-line email, via https://www.london-fire.gov.uk/community/.

How does one 'fight against...'?

Was this apparent in the photograph they provided?

That's interesting. I see there are plenty of thumbnail descriptions available on the web, mainly from solicitor's practices, of the types of citation. I think this has the most detailed and circumspect one in some respects that I've seen so far. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/wills-and-probate/content/103565. Other sites can probably help fill in the picture. I like the word "intermeddling". Never come across it before, not even in a crossword.

Per Cllr McAsh, as quoted above: “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution. " Is anyone au fait with the Clean Air Act 1993, and particularly with the state of 'Smoke Control' law and practice generally? I've just been looking through some of it for the first time and, afaics, the civil penalties mentioned were introduced into the Clean Air Act, at Schedule 1A, in May 2022. So it seems that, in this particular, it's a matter of the enforcement policy trailing well behind the legislation. I'm not criticising that at all, but am curious.

Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution. “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274

So what have you been doing?

For information, these are two recent relevant TfL FOI responses: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-0829-2526 https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-3530-2425 Rockets, can you please let us see the visual evidence that Southwark provided. Was it video, or still photography, or frames from a video sequence?

I can think of several possible motivations for your writing that, but can't tell which.

Mr Google's good friend differs: "AI Overview "It is highly unlikely there are over 86,000 private rented homes in Southwark. "According to the 2021 Census, 29% of Southwark's households were private renters. Considering the total number of households in Southwark was 134,800 in 2021, the actual figure is closer to 39,100."

Nah, that's just schlock. ... Ugly-algia.

I'm not going to bother to even look at the page of a video clip if you don't give some explanation of what it's about and your reason for suggesting I view it.

In fairness, I think the complaints about being limited to one answer are unjustified. Clearly above the column of choices I see the text "Choose as many as you like", and the page does permit that.

On the nostalgia side, I don't think anything can replace the clatter of the metal crates and the whirr of the milk float making its short hops.

I did check that Tesco were the applicants on at least one of the 7 May forms. I would be interested to know what Monica has seen. Possibly some other formal annnouncement somewhere, or the LL traders' grapevine (which I'd guess is generally reliable)? I wondered if it might have been a licensing matter, but don't see any mention in the licensing sub-committee's 16 October meeting agenda. In the meantime, I'm not even assuming that Tesco are taking the lease.
