Hi - i have pm'd you. Thanks Amy

I would like to add that John Power came to my rescue last week after our boiler broke down and left our family of two small children and one on the way, without heat or hot water. He very kindly came when he said he would and fitted the new boiler promptly and made a very good job. He was extremely tidy and also helpful in replying to phone calls and texts while we had a few normal teething problems understanding the new boiler. I have lived in ED for 7 years and he is the best plumber I have used. Would definitely recommend.

I have been intending to get in touch with someone to find some kind of help regarding the parking on my street, Tintagel crescent, for some time now. I have two children both aged under two and regularly spend up to 25 minutes at a time trying to park somewhere near my house. I can rarely park anywhere near my front door which is extremely stressful and unsafe when I have to carry one child and safely try and hurd another child along the pavement in the direction of our house. I can not even consider going food shopping as I have to stop in the road and hold up the traffic while I unload the bags before then driving off again to try and find a parking space with my children. It is becoming increasingly stressful for me and almost impossible to park even in my road or even on any of the neighbouring roads. Preparing to go out with any kind of baggage is impossible as by the time I have walked to my car with the children, we are all exhausted. While I accept that living in London means that we may not always get a parking space right outside the house, it seems slightly crazy that such a small street like ours has to accommodate local business people parking, commuters, school traffic and last of all, the people who actually live on the street! In an ideal world, myself and all of the other local residents would be thrilled if parking permits were introduced so that we can actually park somewhere on our street and discourage parents from driving to pick up and drop off there children- the road is barely wide enough for two cars to pass each other! At the moment, it is regularly chaos in the mornings and afternoons and unsafe for those of us who live here! I would be thrilled if you were able to point me in the direction of finding some kind of help as it is becoming increasingly impossible to park anywhere near my own home!

I am on Tintagel Crescent SE22 and still have no BT phone line - no dial tone, completely dead. Anyone else still experiencing similar problems? Thanks

Can anyone give me a rough idea of how much a childminder for two children (under 3) for three days a week would cost? Yours hopefully, Amy
