    Taxes

    I think it's a good idea and follows the example of other towns/areas. As it says in the article, the area around the main tourist attractions in Southwark, that is The Globe, Southwark Cathedral, Tate Modern and the whole walking route from London Bridge to Blackfriars, takes a lot of maintaining and it shouldn't be a burden on regular council tax payers like us.

  3. It will always be King's on the Rye for me. This photo shows it early 20th century when it was known as King's Arms. The building was totally destroyed during WW2, rebuilt 1957 and renamed Kings on the Rye.
  4. I too had an appointment at ASDA last week and walked to the bus stop at Nigel Road where I caught a 78 all the way through.
  5. I know an instance where the foxes quickly learned how to avoid such devices.
  6. I don't think anyone would object to the examples you have given being given space in the noticeboard (Theatre Peckham is a registered charity) and I think reflect the original intentions behind their introduction. I would not like to see advertisements for purely commercial enterprises e.g yoga studios, cafes, tradesmen which would not be in keeping with the original purpose.
  7. If commercial concerns are able to use the noticeboards to advertise their businesses, will they be charged a commercial fee?
  8. I've heard on the grapevine that Casa Core reckon they'll get their money back for the very expensive refurb within a year. It seems to be doing good business.
  9. Oh dear, I thought my comment might be misunderstood. Sorry. I am not for a moment accusing you of bullying. 😘 Serves me right for venturing into the Roads and Transport section.
  10. If @Earl Aelfheah is trying to bully others into submission, he's failing miserably
  11. Going by tracking information they go via Croydon and East Dulwich (Peckham) sorting offices. Round my way, and I know it varies from street to street, delivery of tracked items brought by the regular postman is mostly reliable. I've noticed if there isn't a postman doing a regular round, there may be a walking postman just delivering the tracked items.
  12. They're taking on more and more custom previously carried out by firms such as DPD and EVRI and doing so efficiently. Yesterday I had a John Lewis parcel tracked and delivered by them. Part of me thinks it's a shrewd move on their part, without it they're not going to survive. They do need to get to grips with the ordinary mail though.
  13. A Veolia man has just worked his way down my street digging out the weeds. Looking good. No weed killer in sight.
  14. If you see a group of kids being obnoxious and intimidating, makes no difference whether they match a description given out over social media. They should be reported to police whether they're the same group or not. This is a case of where social media makes things very complicated.
  15. osted 26 minutes ago "Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead." Perhaps they've died through lack of rain whereas dandelion roots go further down and can reach water?
  16. Genuine question- are wild flowers/weeds better for wildlife than cultivated flowers? My cultivated flowers and their seeds attract birds, bees and all kinds of insects, maybe more so than wild flowers.
  17. They often grow in the angle between wall and pavement which could cause damage to the foundation of the wall and leave the council open to being sued.
  18. I belong to a group that went private but still the spam and irrelevant slipped through
  19. It was a very low key furore. Is that an oxymoron?
  20. Yes, I was stopped in my tracks last week by a rat that had joined a number of pigeons feeding off some food left for the birds on the path around the lake.
  21. "Unfortunately, over the GALA period the park pond has suddenly become littered with plastic cups and bottles that have been thrown into the water (I assume thrown as not sure how else they would get in there). This may be pure coincidence but prior to last weekend the pond was clear. Does park management have a way to get onto the pond and fish all the plastic rubbish out, I wonder? It can't be good to leave it." it's been very windy the past few days, could be down to that
  22. Yep, confirmed in this vintage EDF thread from 10 years ago. 7-11 gave way to Londis.
  23. Or who's done what to who
  24. And if there is a confidentiality clause within the contract regarding the amount paid, would a FOI be able to override that?
  25. I saw him on Monday outside Screwfix completely unfazed by the people and noise. It did worry me though that he was out so close to busy traffic and am glad to learn he is safe and well.
