INDOMIE

Yeah mate, looks like I'm moving out of the area so would be great if you could delete my details.........

Hi I cant find this option, has it been added yet? Cheers

it was always 'peckham vision' quoted in the papers - and it was always NEGATIVE!

Why cant boris just clamp the offical cars and tow them away - i'm sure that's how everyone else get's treated!!! By the way just seen this http://www.transportbriefing.co.uk/story.php?id=5699 and wondered what exactly is the congestion charge spent on at the moment -- surely we should all be told that?

I cant believe that they owe this much money now and Boris and Ken seem useless getting this money back! http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=66573624065 TOTAL NOW OWED TO LONDONERS: ?26,221,664!!!

The Mayor and TfL are committed to engaging with the non paying Embassies in a proactive manner in order to seek a resolution to this matter." ITS BEEN OVER FIVE YEARS THOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!

what was the alternative nero? and what evidence are your claims based upon?

yes we do rose.....quite a few of my neighbours have left peckham as a result and we've spent over ?19m on this scheme already... It's really sad that Peckham Vision pushed so hard for art over a major transport investment (we could have had both).....I know their stance upset a lot of people as the terminus had never even been decided! I guess now we'll be able to see just what this vision of theirs actually looks like! Not sure why people think the train service is enough to revitalise peckham......it only offers an orbital service (or it will with the ELLX) when we will loose the Victoria/London Bridge service. The CRT offered direct access into the CENTRE of the capital, and through North Peckham and the Aylesbury Estates which really needed the investment. I'm with AllforNun, Bob & Michael on this....just where do the fares of south londoners actually get spent because it doesnt seem to be where its needed the most!

Why do people think this forum gets so many more comments that se5forum and dare i say it even the might se1 forum?

time will tell! carrier bags come in all forms these days so who knows! :-p

I love Rye Lane!! and I think Peckham would do well to work with existing businesses to push the world food label! The shops just need tidying up a bit! http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=122108560143 It's all go now for a South London Press photo shoot on Thursday morning at 8am outside Woolworths on Rye Lane! However, there's a catch!......you need to bring along a prop, a carrier bag in fact! I thought it would be fun if we all brought along a bag from the retailer that we would most like to see set up in Woolworths! lol It could be a laugh and make things a bit more interesting!! (how many will bring a 99p store bag i wonder?!!! ;-P) I 'm going to try and bring some H&M bags (my personal favourite) and the SLP have said that it shouldn't take too long - appreciate that people do have work or need to drop off kids etc but Peckham really does need all OUR support!!! It's a one off opportunity to get some positive news coverage for Peckham for a change and the more people that turn up, the more we'll make a splash and get the attention of retailers!!! Everyone says the town centre needs some TLC, now residents have a chance to show they care too! Any questions then let me know - FEEL FREE TO PASS THE INVITE TO ANYONE WHO'D LIKE TO HELP SUPPORT THE TOWN CENTRE!!! Cheers, Phil

This is what I posted on the SE1 forum a while back - 'Cycle Jacking' is becoming a real problem and there's not much we can do about it as far as I can see! http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/99538

Woolies in Camberwell is now a 99p store - it's smaller that the Peckham store which is one reason why there isnt a 99p store in Peckham as well. It would be too expensive to take on the whole space unless the landlord was willing to split the store up into smaller units. I think that would be sad though as this is an anchor site for Peckham Town Centre and is right next to Peckham Rye Station.

It may seem crazy at first but actually its not a bad spot for one of their stores! Camberwell's Woolies may have been snapped up but Peckham's is still empty.........so how about bringing H&M to Peckham! If enough people show their support on Facebook then we may persuade them to come and take a look at the old Woolies shop in Peckham! http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=122108560143
