Two coaches parked in Townley Road with engines running, drivers standing around drinking hot drinks, pupils playing hockey on nearby pitch. Driver asked why I was taking pictures and I explained about air quality, near a school, the Mums For Lungs organisation. He explained that if they turned off the engines they'd "have to wait for the air to fill up again". I'm afraid I laughed at this and said that was nonsense. He told me he hoped I get run over. I can't attach the clip but can share the reg numbers. If there's anyone who can tell me how to escalate this and share the footage?

Based on recommendations here for Adam at Forest Hill, went today. Extremely good experience, wash and reshape cut. Definitely would go again.

Have heard them twice this afternoon. Have binoculars at the ready.....are there any other birds that make similar calls? It's a very distinctive sound. Stand by!

I'm sure I just heard a few swifts just now, I'm sitting outside and heard them high above me but couldn't see them. Is this a record? Has anyone else heard them?

Just driven past Belair House and seen a Tesla branding advert up at the gate. Anyone know what's going on there?

I applied May 31st. Got confirmation email immediately. Received Postal Vote notification card and postal vote form and envelope yesterday. I suspect it's Royal Mail

Yes, the one near the charity shop, opposite the Post Office. Dully Caff

Very sad news. Sunday is final day of business. Go and say goodbye and treat yourself to a wonderful breakfast/lunch. We'll miss you

Admin please help. Am finding it difficult to access this forum. I keep getting directed to 'mylocalforum' site or Facebook page. Many thanks

It is the Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbury. The wooden huts is in the lower car parking area for the Hamlet football club. Near the car wash area

I have just walked through the Car wash area outside Sainsburys, with my dog. I saw this very still looking cat with it's nose almost touching the pavement. As it didn't quite look right I approached it slowly. It paid me or my dog no attention whatsoever, but as I was very close I could hear a loud wheezing sound and could see its sides moving in and out. The hut it is sitting outside of has the door wedged open, I don't think anyone can be living there and no-one answered when I knocked and called out. This poor little cat is in dire need of some medical attention. Any suggestions?

My neighbour, a blue badge holder, received a parking fine for staying 2hours 13 minutes. She asked for my help as she was trying to pay it by telephone. Having seen this thread we went to Sainsbury's customer service just now. They couldn't have been more helpful. They explained that blue badge holders still get up to 3 hours free parking, but you have to go in and register your blue badge details with the customer services. They then also cancelled her parking ticket from last week. Big thanks to customer service staff and manger at Sainsbury's, Dog Kennel Hill! 👍

Hhmmmm....except not quite as talented! K

I know the history, it's buried in several threads. Just wanted a concise update from someone who may know. Thanks.

Can anyone tell us when the new controlled parking zone comes into effect? It was put on hold as lockdown began but it would be good to know when it may be ready to start.

FWP!!!

Huge full double rainbow north east over ED! Now!

I think the advantage to the business is having your contact details on file, they can then send you any marketing and promotional material. Your details are very valuable to them. Your consumer rights are in no way affected by not having an e-receipt.

Got wellies and rope and successfully hauled it out. The metal legs have been broken off the stand unfortunately.

Noticed this morning that one of the benches has been thrown into the lake, on the house side. It's visible, not completely submerged. Has anyone got suggestions for rescuing it before it becomes ruined?

I am furious. I have just seen one of the Alleyn's grounds staff blowing leaves and debris from their garden in the grounds of the school, through the railings, onto the pavement and curb of Hillsborough Road. I asked him what would happen to the debris, he replied "the council will pick it up". I know that the Southwark Street cleaning team have cleaned and swept the road and pavements here in the last two weeks, it was looking spotless. I would have thought that a business such as Alleyn's who can afford plenty of grounds staff and equipment could be more responsible for their own waste. Not very neighbourly and costs local residents more in taxes. Any suggestions as to whom I can contact?

There are diggers on the field at the moment, can anyone tell us why?
