Hi I'm looking for any tips advice on what things to prepare from experience on successfully appealing a decision made by Southwark re loft plans, can anyone offer any insight? Thanks

Someone has been stabbed (assumed fatal) in peckham rye near the station, area has heavy police presence. sad times

Just a heads up to be vigilant....we've had 2 nights were we have had knocks on the door at approx 2pm and last night had someone ringing the bell at 1.30am on Dunstans Road. There was no car in our driveway so maybe someone was scouting out the house. Be vigilent

I'd prefer South Norwood, think it offers better value and is better connected. Surely it will only be a matter of time before the main road's shops improve, we have friends there and they love the transport links and the fact that a flat is affordable over there

Hi James I train regularly with the Peckham Rye Fitness Squad. This is a group of locals that meet up and run free park exercises daily at 10am for the public. It is worth noting that training/classes are completely free and encourages participation from any members of the public that wish to improve their fitness. On each day there are at least 10 people who attend and train using the outdoor gym, in particular the pull up bar as well as the dip bars. As I understand it some of the members have already attempted to contact the council to discuss/complain about two issues: 1) The current dip bars have been installed poorly by the council and are way too wide for the true dip exercise to be completed. The distance between the bars does not match up to the industry standard - the workmen have installed this poorly.(See attached picture) The group themselves have already said they would be happy to pay for the rework needed to get this done right. 2) The group who have been going for a good few years really wish for further pull up bars / rigs to be installed into this area. This has been voiced previously to the council - however to the group's dismay a new cycle machine has been installed which 1) does not effectively work (the wheels are stiff) 2) nobody seems to use this machine at all It would be great if you could make it down one day in the week or weekend to have a chat with some of the members if free and see first hand the good community work that is being achieved through fitness. If this is not possible could the newly installed machine be removed and be replaced with more pull up bars/rig equipment (similar to that in Kennington Park) and could the dip bars be moved closer together as per industry standard? I'e attached pictures so you can get a better idea of the issues at hand. PS here is the link to the instagram account of the group so you see how they train and what equipment is used https://www.instagram.com/peckhamryesquad/ The group looks forward to hearing back from you. Best regards Chet

Very interesting....do let me know how this plays out.. might be one for Columbo?

If this land is not legally yours then you are trespassing and illegally on the land. You can be subject to legal action and prosecution so it would be in your best interests to get this resolved either way. I would suggest either rent the land or buy it...before the current owner catches on. Maybe look at renting the land but also think about how much additional value that 30/40% of the garden will add to your property. With the way that ED property is I would suggest that it would add more than ?20k if it makes up so much of 'your' current garden so you might have priced that optimistically.

Hi James Is there an email list available so that we can further issue emails to all councillors and relevant cabinet members re this proposal? Cheers

so is it going to happen? any way for this to be stopped?

Awful service, once ended up waiting for 15 minutes unnecessarily as their pharmacist was literally unpacking a delivery they had just had and refused to ruin her'rhythm' of unpacking to serve a paying customer. Would only ever go there as a last resort - terrible service

Think this has been going on for a while but the killer seems to be more prolific in recent weeks http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3441416/Martin-Clunes-joins-hunt-Cat-Ripper-Croydon-TV-actor-urges-Met-step-investigation-person-killed-35-pets.html

Good idea in principle but agree with the health and safety idea. This would only work if you had a cook off in one big place under health and safety control.
