It was banging out loud enough even up the hill last night. Are these events not governed by the no. of db's and if exceeded, need to be reduced. Where's the noise team??? I do feel very sorry for those in the midst of the intolerable bass. Today Hornimans Gardens are closed for the Jerk music and burnt food event that they have brought back, so stuck in the middle of the two. It seems to be all about ?? Money at the expense of local residents.

Perhaps Burgess Park would have been a more suitable venue for this, but then again could also have been in Brockwell Park, Crystal Palace Bowl or even Belair Park.

They need an effective Opposition to be held to account, until then carry on as is.

Very sad to her this news, I hope the business will continue.

Anyone know if the leak and road has been repaired? Water back on.

TW sending two tankers to recharge the main and continue to do so, till the burst is repaired.

What we need is an active and proper opposition party willing to hold Boris and his Ministers to account. PMQ's and targeted speeches on specific issues is the way this can be done. Press the Government or Front Bench Minister to get real answers, don't let them dodge the bullet. i.e how Laura Kuenssberg this week dealt with slimy Cummings, maybe cummings by name and nature!!! Until that happens, Boris will continue with his attempt at running UK plc.

IN FULL "Rye Lane to reopen to buses 21 July 2021 The temporary closure of Rye Lane to motor traffic is being reviewed, in the light of the government?s latest relaxation of COVID regulations. Southwark Council and TfL are working to introduce an 18 month trial that will see the road reopened to buses and timed deliveries, but not other motor traffic. This move responds to feedback from local businesses and is designed to support them, while working to limit the impact on pedestrians and cyclists. The council will invite local people to share their views about the partial reopening, by means of a formal consultation, six months into the trial. This feedback will be used along with data collected over the period, to help inform a decision about the future of the trial, shortly before the 18months is up. Southwark Council closed Rye Lane last summer, to help people to social distance as the first wave of the pandemic broke. The road closure opened the street up to pedestrians and cyclists, making it easier and safer for them to get about. Pedestrianising Rye Lane resulted in a reduced risk of COVID transmission and fewer dangerous road traffic accidents. However, despite the council?s huge investment and support offer for local businesses across the borough (it has shared over ?100million in business support over the course of the pandemic), a number of small businesses along Rye Lane have struggled. Many of these businesses have been negatively impacted by the road closure, as a number of their customers, including those from Black, Asian and ethnic minority communities, travel to the area by bus. Southwark Council is working to strike a balance between continued support for small, independent businesses, but also to ensure a limited impact on environmental factors and road safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The council is opening Rye Lane up to buses as such a compromise. The move will be explored through an experimental traffic order. This will provide time to listen to feedback and review the data. It is hoped that this partial reopening will help the area to thrive and support a full recovery as we come out of lockdown. Cllr Catherine Rose, Cabinet Member for Transport, Parks and Sport, said: ?We?ve been working with and listening to many local people since the emergency closure of Rye Lane last summer. We are committed to helping small businesses to thrive and encouraging more people back to the highstreets. However, we also need more people to walk and cycle, store their bike safely and use public transport more. ?Making the bus network more efficient for everyone helps us to restore confidence as people return to work and school in the autumn. Buses are low emission vehicles that help people connect with trains and other public services in the area. We are working towards a safer, cleaner Rye Lane for everybody." ?It is also important to remember that COVID-19 hasn?t gone away and we need to continue to make more space on our pavements for social distancing, to help keep everyone safe. We are continuing our work with the local community, and they will be involved in any further decisions, moving forward.?

Cummings smirked throughout the interview. Laura Kuenssberg had him on the ropes and brought him back down to reality with a huge bump. He appeared to be a nasty, arrogant, scheming, self righteous, either do what he say's or you're against him, v.poor example of a man. He clearly did not get on with or see eye to eye with BJ's fianc?/wife and wanted everything his own way like a spoiled brat. He was a man in the shadows, and now he's plotting to bring Government down what ever colour and install his own warped sense of politics. Thanks, but NO thanks. UK plc does not require his services.

Blood on the Walls

It's coming along nicely

While I totally agree that this stop should be re-opened immediately, I fear the argument will be that as the other side of the road has been narrowed to allow people to walk in the fenced off area thus they will not. As was suggested bombard your councillors so they have to take action.

It's not their money, they just spend it and have no accountability, then they say a deficit exists and council tax and other charges etc. are duly increased with services provided being reduced. I hope the people of Southwark make their feelings known at the next local elections and throw this shower out of office.
