Just had some great service from a local plumber - Pete bennison - so I thought i'd tell someone about it.

Our heating stopped working, even though the boiler was pumping out hot water. I called Pete based on previous recs on EDF, and he was so helpful. He talked me through what it might be, stayed on the phone while I switched a few things on and off, figured out what the problem was for me, said I could probably fix it myself if i got the replacement part, and even texted a webpage link to the part I needed to get.

And he did all of that even though I'd never used him before and there was nothing in it for him.

He saved me a callout charge, and I'll definitely use him for our next boiler service. Nice to know there are tradesmen out there like him.

- Great news! Peckham Rye station to reclaim its public square by next year!
  
  By rollflick · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  Labour's latest Rye Lane Ward newsletter is now saying that demolition in the square will start this summer and that the wider station upgrade is expected to be signed off this year - as explained above, sadly wrong on both counts. It describes the renovation of adjacent buildings on Blenheim Grove as "successful", despite having lain empty for a couple of years, longer than the actual renovation works, before saying "the Council is hopeful [it] will see its first new occupants move in to this year". Cue desperate attempt to get at least one in before end of financial year? As for the other topic, in "November 2023, faced with a huge increase in graffiti across the borough, Labour-run Southwark council took action". Nice turn of phrase eh? Rather, after community pressure regarding years of inaction by said Labour-run council, it's finally started to do a little bit, a little late. Surely there would be more chance of resolving issues if our council could for once be part of an honest, informed discussion?

- Great Local Pest Control – Roger from Critter Solutions SE22 Area
  
  By Jonathan H · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  Just wanted to recommend Roger from Critter Solutions Pest Control if anyone’s dealing with mice or other unwanted guests. We had a sudden issue with mice in our home's kitchen and after calling around, these guys were by far the most responsive and professional. Roger arrived on time, was really friendly, and took the time to explain what he was doing and why. He did a full inspection and sealed up some access points we hadn’t even noticed. Since his treatment we haven’t seen or heard anything since. What I appreciated most was that it didn’t feel like a rushed job or a hard sell – just honest advice and thorough work. All backed with a guarantee. Would definitely use them again (hopefully won’t need to!) and thought I’d share in case anyone local is looking.
