I don't think the council (Lambeth, I think...?) would have anything to do with it.

"Local business owner Fran Ayre who runs Ayres Bakery told MailOnline that it was 'typical council' and that the constant disruption could affect her business which has been going for more than 60 years." come off it, pal! This is one little corner of the open space being redone. BFD

That's gently encouraging - the applicant (or at least someone with the same name in the same part of the country and the same industry) seems to be a director of Wickham Bistro Ltd, which in turn seems to operate a nice looking cafe in Bromley. https://www.wickhambistro.com/

My office had something similar (can't remember brand) 10 years ago and the repair guy was constantly there. To be fair, maybe they've improved since then.

It's sad to see an independent affordable cafe shut down. I hope something similar opens up in its place. Plough Cafe and Johnnie's still do good caff food, as does the cafe inside Christ Church East Dulwich at 363 Barry Rd (Monday 10am to 2pm, Tuesday & Thursday 9am to 4pm, Wednesday & Friday 9am to 3pm).

If you neither register the car nor display the badge, how is anyone supposed to know?

1) it's not the council that is cutting the tree down. It's the company owned by the flats in the block behind. 2) the tree is riddled with fungus - there is a arboriculture report that shows this. People don't spend thousands to cut trees down for no reason. 3) it's not a matter for Southwark Council because Tulse Hill is in Lambeth...

A lot of these gambling shops are open 24 hours a day - extremely depressing. Gambling firms don't make money from the people who might bet on the Grand National or whatever. They make a massive slice of their profit from a tiny number of compulsive gamblers. It's very depressing

There was a concern about toys containing small magnets a couple of years ago, wasn't there? Kids were swallowing them accidentally...?

Give over. The number of threads and comments against CPZs on here has zero relation to real life. Active posters on this forum are a tiny and unrepresentative sliver of Dulwich residents.

This also affects the plucky little P4: https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/route/p4/

There does seem to be a lot of it about. Our neighbour (not on Trossachs) had their car stolen the other week.

Reported crime statistics are generally a good indicator of the change in incidence of crimes, even if - for obvious reasons - they do not map to the actual incidence. But in any case you can always refer to the British Crime Survey, which isn't calculated on the basis of reported crime.

Probably a good occasion to train for human rescue in realistic circumstances too 🙂

I think they should pay a fiver to go on the lake like everyone else

Did you even read the post to which you are replying?

Water is already a limited resource. You seem to be unaware of the investment obligations imposed on water utilities as a condition of having the monopoly. Your suggestion that water shortages in SE England will be alleviated by melting snowcaps is...innovative.

As an aside, day-drinking cheapskates - I mean, those looking for a friendly tavern to replace the Spoons should have a look at The Hill around the corner. It had a sign up advertising a lager and an IPA at £3.95 a pint all day every day last time I passed.

@Rockets has been called many things for his <cough> quirky views, but I will not accept any suggestion that he is anti-Semantic.

Screwfix is ramping up its one hour delivery service through the app. They're going to be the Deliveroo of hardware. It'll be very popular among tradies who won't have to leave site because they've run out of flanges or sealant.

Your use (abuse) of elipses suggests otherwise.

Agreed on West 16th - went last week, and it has good coffee and a nice ambience. Very cool interior. I think it will do a lot to jazz up that little strip of shops opposite Judith Kerr Primary School, which will work for all the businesses there - including Gusto Italiano, which has a lovely little garden and great paninis. Meanwhile, in Forest Hill: a nice little coffee shop has opened up in the old Internet cafe (!) next to the old Wetherspoons. Galao is at 27 London Rd in Forest Hill.

I know this topic gets Googled a lot and EDF comes up so: there IS a photo booth at Herne Hill Station, in the ticket hall. It does normal sized passport photos as well as some novelty photo prints. It does the UK and Ireland scheme where it gives you a code for download of the photos and uploading them directly to passport applications etc. £10, card only.
