The regeneration plans sound promising:


http://www.elephantandcastle.org.uk/regenerationprogramme/


"Key features of the Elephant and Castle framework for development include:


?demolition of the shopping centre and Heygate Estate

?rehousing of Heygate Estate residents into high quality social housing in the Elephant and Castle area

?removal of the congested road system and rerouting of traffic out of the core area

?creation of a new pedestrian-friendly town centre

?development of 6, 600 new homes

?creation of 75,000m2 of modern retail and leisure facilities

?design of an improved transport interchange

?creation of two new parks

?addition of two extra schools, including a city academy

?creation of over 4,000 new jobs as a result of these changes

?adoption of a range of innovative measures to minimise energy consumption

?quality design at the heart of the plans"


The rerouting of traffic alone should make an enormous difference.

    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down!
