On the upside the new SDM hardware shop seems quite clean, organised and well-stocked.

"Small" St Christopher's has now reopened as a dedicated kids shop. Looks good. Meanwhile, booze licence application has gone in for the old bookie opposite M&S on Lordship Lane for...Megan's Deli, another casual dining place (and sister to the one in Dulwich Village). Thank God for that - if there's one thing that East Dulwich is calling out for it's another twee coffee shop.

They're coming in a way... https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/news/motoring-news/mandatory-speed-limiters/

Call me a conspiracy theorist but I suspect this is not the first username "Tezza" has had...

Was that vehicle signed up to Autopay? It's only been 9 days since ULEZ expanded so a penalty notice (or whatever) probably would have arrived yet.

Plenty of opportunities for people who feel strongly about poppies to get involved with the Royal British Legion any time of year. I think the local branch is on Barry Road. https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/cards-results?tag=volunteer Between social distancing and the collapse of commuting, I'd imagine it's got a lot harder to sell poppies at train stations etc over the last couple of years.

Slow moving traffic. A green line would be flowing traffic.

I did briefly Google for it but I haven't been able to find a full source for that 43% figure. There's a difference between "I didn't know it started this Monday" and "I didn't know the ULEZ was expanding".

Actually backwards - investment while Thames Water was public sector was woefully poor. One of the conditions of privatisation price increases was that there would be massive increase in infrastructure investment and minimum spend year on year - regardless of how much "fat cats" are being spent. Privatisation of monopolies is generally a rubbish idea but under investment in water and sanitation infrastructure in London is evidence of the opposite argument!

Why do you think they couldn't get insurance?

🤷‍♂️ let us know how you get on.

Much as I love our borough and Newham, I doubt many Kazakh, Nigerian or Venezuelan oligarchs are buying pieds a terre here and leaving leaving them vacant. In fact, looking at that list and applying common sense rather than any hard facts, the more desirable the borough to offshore investors, the fewer empty properties it has. The more shambolic and disorganised, the greater the proportion of empty housing stock. Of course, UK property and corporate records are so opaque it would be very difficult to prove that with real evidence.

Expect you'd feel differently if eg your car fell through the road surface because the subpavement had weakened/washed out due to the water leak.

This is a perennial authoritarian solution looking for a problem, and each time it's shown that ID cards won't work, a couple of years later it's a new reason. It's to stop terrorism - no wait, it's to stop benefit fraud - actually, it's to save travellers the hassle of carrying a passport... Patel's apparent enthusiasm for it in the wake of an assassination where the full facts remain to be established is sickening but not surprising. Blair, Brown, Cameron and May managed to waste ?5 billion on this toss. Wonder which chum of the government will get the first contract? G4S, Serco, Capita, SopraSteria all rubbing their hands right now. https://www.thejournal.ie/id-cards-row-uk-public-services-card-3570026-Aug2017/

Confusing two issues really: foreign ownership vs land/buildings lying idle.

Good thing it's in the Lounge forum, then - "The place to relax and chat about anything". Course if no-one's interested, the thread will fade. Of course, some people might be interested in a live music venue that'd be a short bus journey away from East Dulwich. others might see an interesting community solution to the problem of a once-loved landmark pub that's been sunk by its unimpressive landlord- you know, like what has happened to the old Harvester in East Dulwich.
