Just for information: I see that the Licensing Sub-committee has the Tesco application as item 1 on their 24 July meeting agenda. https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=172&MId=8329. The officer's report to the committtee provides a good succinct summary. I see, from (original) p.31 of the full public pack, (or more conveniently the supporting documents) that Tesco Legal Dept on 12 June reported that they'd agreed with the police's suggested conditions to be attached to the licence, and the police accordingly withdrew their own representation. That leaves just one representation, from a member of the public, to be dealt with on the day. I still think it's not necessarily to be presumed that Tesco will definitely be taking over the premises. I see that Poundland themselves were granted an off-sales licence on 21 Feb 2023, and surrendered it on 3 July 2025. I'm not sure they actually ever used it themselves. Did they? https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Statement of Licensing Policy 2021-2026.pdf is a full statement of the policy and its application, for thems as is interested.

If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan. Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate. Some have been allowed. KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.

In what part of the page do the links of the sort you're talking about appear, and in what circumstances?

No, it's the AA. https://www.nationalworld.com/arts-and-culture/these-are-the-uks-best-outdoor-pools-and-lidos-new-lido-league-reveals-top-swimming-spots-5218853 "Experts from The AA analysed 164 lidos and outdoor pools for the average monthly Google search volumes, average Google review scores, Instagram tags, entry and parking fees, as well as the average maximum temperature and hours of summer sunlight at each location, to determine the very best swimming spots across the UK."

Has anything emerged as to how the reported misinterpretation of rules ruling out proxy votes occurred, or what the specific fault was? I've found and looked through https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Labour-group-model-standing-orders-2023.pdf, which afaics seems to be a prime relevant document. It allows for local council Labour groups making minor amendments to cater for their council's particular form of organisation. I've not seen any _explicit_ mention of proxy voting in the model SOs document itself. I'm attaching my notes on it. re_Labour-Group-Model-SOs.txt

The Leader of the Council gets a larger Special Responsibility Allowance than plain Cabinet members: £58,427 in 2023-24, rather than somewhere in the £30k+ range. See https://www.southwark.gov.uk/about-council/councillors-and-mps/councillors/allowances, which includes links to full tables of payments made to all councillors for the past seven years. There's a list of Cabinet members at https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgCommitteeMailingList.aspx?ID=302

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.
