Latchmere Pool is great for toddlers as it has a sloping "beach" type entry, the kids love it. It also has a wave machine on weekends, although that can be a bit scary for the younguns

They are filiming "Swimming with Men". The director Oli Parker is married to Thandie Newton, she was there as well. As was the legendary Jane Horrocks. There were slebs everywhere!

I recommend Judy Clark. She was amazing, our 18 month old boy went from total nightmare to sleeping through in 4 days. It was like a miracle. Was expensive but SO worth it. Her website is www.babywinkz.com Good luck!

It looks like an anteater to me

I just wanted to say thanks to Renata for helping get this sorted out. The enclosure has been a success, no fly tipping for at least a month now

Heathrow's 3rd runway has been given initial approval today. Clearly the noise pollution in ED will only get worse but by how much? According to Heathrow's own website, ED is outside the area that will be impacted by the new flightpaths. But a map produced by Zac Goldsmith's team shows one of the new flightpaths goes diagonally across South ED. Which is correct?

Today: Clothing rail, cardboard boxes, bits of broken chair, general household rubbish... If anyone apart from me feels strongly enough to complain, here are the contacts: Manager of the land (Holmes Close) where it gets dumped: Manager: Asare Bampoe-Wilson First Port Property Services Tel 0333 321 4080 option 5 Email: [email protected] Give the following references: ALTIMA COURT 39781 Manager of property whose tenants are dumping the trash (Greenview Court): Ms Deborah Callender Property Manager, now managing Greenview Court on Oakhurst Grove SE22 [email protected] also contact Ms Nori Persaud Neighbourhood Services Officer [email protected] Councillors for this area: Renata Hamvas [email protected] Gavin Edwards [email protected] Good luck

Today: armchair, door, mattress, cardboard boxes, disgusting!

Sorry to bang on about this issue, but nothing has changed, there has been constant dumping all summer. Todays trash includes: a bag of household rubbish strewn across the road, a child's bicycle, a car seat, a laundry bin Pic attached

One simple thing that could and should be done is to put a sign on the wall saying "FLY TIPPERS WILL BE PROSECUTED. MAXIMUM FINE ?2000" (or whatever the fine is)

Well, I'm sad to say that the palm tree slowly died, and has now been replaced by a bush. There are two new graffiti tags on the doors (in yellow and black), and a fly-tipper has dumped a mattress and a divan in the usual spot. In other words, back to square one. I have written to L&Q, but if anyone else would like to, the details are above

A palm tree has been planted in the dumping area! It looks great. I don't know if it will deter the fly tippers though, time will tell...

Hi Renata and James Barber I personally feel prevention (e.g. fencing or shrubs etc) would be far more effective and cheaper than trying to catch/punish perpetrators (i.e. CCTV) I'm happy to make a CGS application if either of you could PM me with some advice on how to do it thanks

I can confirm the bar manager still doesn't like children! Unnecessarily rude as well.

If anyone else wants to complain to L&Q, their contact details are below Ms Nori Persaud Neighbourhood Services Officer L&Q South Neighbourhood Unit F-G Printworks 22 Amelia Street Walworth London SE17 3BZ Tel No: 0800-015-6536 [email protected] 0844-406-9000 (ext: 3414) 0800-015-6536/020-8045-4011 through L&Q Direct

Yet again Holmes Close is covered in garbage. 2 armchairs, a sofa, mattresses etc etc Zero action has been taken by L&Q despite my complaints Renata, please make an effort as this is happening on your turf

James Norton (Happy Valley, that thing with the naked vicar) walking out of Nigel Road this afternoon

I found antenatal classes were great for meeting people in same position. We were new to the area and didn't know anyone so it was a great way to make friends. We did the Ariadna Sole course (somebody else mentioned it above), She is a midwife at King's, She's really good. Totally recommend it. We had 6 other couples on the course and still meet with them 2 years later. We also did the NHS one at Dulwich Hospital. It was good for learning about babies but not so good for the social side!

Where do you find the information about 'bulge' years? I.e. years where Southwark anticipates peak demand for school places?

They're back!!!

So the Charter ED catchment area is smaller than 0.55miles in its first year! Ouch

Yet more dumping at Holmes Place today. A child's buggy, several cardboard boxes, bookshelves, a chair etc etc. Renata, there seems to have been no action taken by the management company, please chase this up!

Thanks buggie, have you got a phone number? I looked briefly online and found... "Prestige Hair Extensions". Which is not the kind of extension I need!

Hello, On behalf of my mother (!), has anyone got a recommendation for a company to do a kitchen side extension? It is a normal victorian terraced house. Also has anyone used a company called London Kitchen Extension Co and can recommend them (or not)? I have personal experience of a company called Buildteam, which was mixed to say the least, so I need some other names... PM me if you prefer, Thanks!
