Google isn't coming up with much and I wanted to contact someone responsible for the station regarding the large cracks in the walkway up to platform 2 (with the building works next door, worried it could give way at some point?) and also the large nettles and brambles growing by day on both platform walkways that soon will be taking over and people will get injured (and worried about the nettles and brambles being at small child head-height).


Anyone know of any contact details? I know years ago the manager had a thread on here but it's no longer used.

Thanks

Hi Ginster,

All works within 10m of railway land have to be agreed with Network Rail. They are incredibly hard to work with - from my work experience over a number of projects/years. We always moved heaven and earth to find solutions that didn't need Network rail agreement.

At one point I met with Network Rail about this development to see if the developer could deliver a new ticket office, lifts, etc. Sadly Network Rail wouldn't talk unless ?1M was stumped up first to reinforce the railway embankment.

Working with the rail company was much more successful getting the final ramp put in place.


Network Rail will be all over this. The required permissions would take minimum 6 months to obtain. Network Rail will be monitoring this.


Nettles and brambles are the train operating company responsibility.


I've contacted the TOC and related both issues asking they come back to me when they'll be fixed.

And Southern have responded speedily by trimming back the greenery, I see ? although simply pulling up or cutting it would be better than spraying, but hey-ho. Also, the cracks leading down from platform 2 have been marked out, so hopefully some action there too.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
