Errr - no you can't conclude that at all! I'm in favour of LTNs but choose - apart from this post - not to engage with the issue on this thread or this forum. (ETA - sorry Mr Chicken - re read less befuddled by migraine and am getting the sarcasm now) ab29 - I'd have thought calling people 'arrogant' or 'selfish' might also put people off engaging here.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing the news. HP

This looks great! Have you shared it on local Facebook groups? HP

Aw WorkingMummy. I LOVE your post. We've had good experiences with local state schools (FWIW I hold strong objections to private education for many reasons). HP

Agree heartblock. Can only assume its cheaper/easier to build on green rather than brownfield/ appropriate and renovate empty housing. Shortsighted approach. HP

Hhhm. Peckhampam is right. C minus I'm afraid. Must try harder.

Shed loads - I speak as an ex resident. It was a nightmare. There are other threads on the forum but see here: https://peckhampeculiar.tumblr.com/post/146054452342/flats-to-be-pulled-down-after-just-six-years https://www.insidehousing.co.uk/insight/insight/houses-of-horrors-47393

Eek - if stray will be kittens out there somewhere. Strongly suggest contact Celia Hammond /Cats Protection for advice. Helen

Maybe you'd have to think carefully about Dulwich College if any of this is true? https://inews.co.uk/news/education/dulwich-college-accused-breeding-ground-for-sexual-predators-open-letter-former-pupil-923597 HP
