Hard to understand this when it is always so busy there are people queueing down the road to get in.

.

Perhaps by putting some comments in there along the lines of your objections. "The document is unclear because it doesn't specifically state that this is a change on policy by the council, effectively banning new loft conversions in the face of statutory permitted development rights. The document should state this clealry in large bold font and highlight how unfair that is and that it is likely to lead to judicial review." I don't know if any of the above is actually correct though.

They should turn into a hostel for homeless people or asylum seekers. You could fit good quality accommodation on that site for four or five hundred refugees.

An alien from another planet may actually surmise that the cyclists of SE London are very problematic ...

Thanks for posting this - very enjoyable commentary. It does highlight a very serious problem round here though of cyclists who have no respect for the law or for other people using the footpaths.

Pretty sure Rollflick has it right. Many of these streets have a CPZ already. This council and this cabinet member have form for reclaiming the streets from evil car owners. I suspect this is another thinly veiled land grab and the result will be less car parking and more new bin storage zones in what used to be the highway.

The motor industry has been supersizing cars for years mostly to comply with EU safety legislation to protect cyclists and pedestrians in low speed collisions.

If the harassment and abuse is persistent it might also be worth considering whether you can get a restraining order as a pre-cursor to having the neighbour arrested and imprisoned for continually breaching it?

It's not just the volume of traffic, it's also the weight. All the new electric cars people buy are 50% heavier than petrol cars. A Tesla saloon weighs nearly two tons, more than most of the metaphorical 2 ton metal box ICE SUVs that environmentalists get so angry about. The majority of EVs weigh more, closer to two and a half tons. The Volvo EX90 weighs almost three tons. All these "clean" cars are having huge impact on the built environment.

I have had some (very limited) correspondence since they closed via enquiries@lawcentral.co.uk (originally addressed to enquiries@glazerdelmar.co.uk). Worth emailing both and seeing what comes back I would say

It's no longer limited to the council The government now are also doing all sorts of things they told people thst they wouldn't. There's a lot more pain and broken promises to come locally and nationally. One day the scales might fall from voters eyes

One more term coincides with the timing of the new Labour Party VAT regime on school fees.

What a liberty. It makes it so hard to park a a 4x4 across the curb on that corner.

That looks very good.

Howbold os that image? It looks like you can see the outline of the gala festival footprint in the bottom section.

Think it's just another pub co in the same group so overall ownership not changed. Staff are all the same stil and so is the offering but the latter might change at some point.

I'm guessing there will be lots of unfortunate decisions made like this as the private schools tighten thier belts to find the money for Labour's new 20% VAT on fees. The community will pay a hefty price for that policy.

Signage seems to be deliberately obfuscated though to catch people out and increase revenues. There are thousands of instances of councils having to rescind motoring penalties where signs were misplaced, obscured, contradictory or missing. It's also very hard to believe that the revenues are being spent maintaining the roads. They are in a far worse state now than ever and maintenance that used to be standard (Street cleaning, litter picking, weeding, washing the roads) barely ever seems to happen. We have weeds and grass growing out of the tarmac on our road. There's no money being spent here though.

Well done. Always good with neighbours of you can get things done both by the book and amicably. We still have to live side by side at the end of at all!

The private schools round here don't take very many local kids. Their pupils come from far and wide so it shouldn't be much of an issue. The reason state schools are closing in central London is because councils have made it impossible to have a normal family life with all their road closures and charges. People with children just get fed up with it and move out of London.

There are a lot of very selfish dog owners in this area unfortunately Goose green Park is now just a large scale dog toilet, unusable for anyone else who doesn't want to come home covered in it.

Might be worth discussing with the Citizens Advice Bureau

This all seems very Jackie Weaver. Time to put young people in charge of these sorts of local associations, people who have better things to do with their time than carry on how this lot appear to from these reports. What a shower.

It doesn't regrow though . There was a swamp there this winter with no grass.
