Thanks for the UKMTP link above, I have joined. I am lucky in that I have a garage but Southwark could use more bike parks with rails for us to lock our bikes to. I alerted James Barber to the fact that the one on corner of Lordship Lane and the pub on Northcross Road is great but on Saturdays as it is closed to traffic there needs to be another nearby. We are never near the top of the list for funding though.
I did post a while go that I thought that some secure motor bike spaces should be provided within the yellow line zones that the council insist will be installed on every junction in Southwark. No one responded so I contacted James Barber. He thought that I meant parking on double yellows. When I clarified that I meant a motorbike bay within the 7.5 metres so that the desired sight lines were still maintained while also providing secure parking he kindly forwarded it to the appropriate council officer for consideration including offering some local funding for the secure anchors. I don't have a motorbike but I do think it could also alleviate some of the extra pressure on car parking which will be caused by the yellow lines. A motorbike can take up as much room as a car especially when it needs to be chained to a tree or lamp post to stop it being stolen. I'm not holding my breath that the council will see any sense in this proposal but I must say that James Barber has done whatever he can to help. Thank you James.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
    • I want to try that and also the granary loaf. Used to get a good granary loaf from the bakery that was in Herne Hill a long time ago.  Think they are somewhere In the vicinity of Coulsdon now. They used to make the hamburger buns for the Meatwagon/Meatliquor people.
