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.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
