Please avoid walking on the pavement at the Lordship Lane end of Heber Road.

The high double brick wall that is part of 263 Lordship Lane and runs along Heber Road has huge cracks in it and is bowing considerably.

I've spoken with the foreman in charge of the building works at 263 and he told me that it couldn't be taken down until next week due to Southwark not having issued a licence of some kind. I've also reported to Southwark(dangerous structures dept) and left a message with Heber School.

MYN Properties has no answerphone and no one picks up.

The wall has become incredibly unstable with more cracks opening up over the last 4 days.

I noticed this wall was bulging and cracked in September. It's astonishing that Building Control or somebody hadn't picked this up on a routine inspection. Maybe it's a case of everyone (including me) assuming "This must be safe or somebody would have done something about it". Well done Awkward Knee for doing it.

Awkward Knee's OP states s/he's informed Southwark, spoken to the foreman, told Heber School about it and tried to contact the building company. Which is all highly admirable and civic minded and doesn't really fall into the "waffling" category.

The damage has clearly got worse, and the wall seems now much further 'out of true'. That instability coupled with a high wind (or the continued jolting of heavy vehicles) has clearly added to the danger. If the builders wished to leave the wall, for the moment, then it should have been stabilised with strapping of some kind.

      I was amazed to see a young nuthatch crawling headfirst down a the trunk of a tree in my garden to bully the great tits and blue tits off the bird feeders yesterday.  Didn't expect to see one this far from the woods.

      some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc

      It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.

      I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
