Article in The Times today:


"A Big Society project, visited by David Cameron on the day he told the nation that the policy was his mission, is at risk of ?imminent closure?.


The People?s Supermarket, a food co-operative in which residents take it in turn to work voluntarily, has been told it has until tomorrow to pay off debts owed to Camden Council. The Times can reveal that bailiffs have already visited community members who run the supermarket, which was the focus of a Channel 4 series last year.


Kate Bull, its CEO, said the group were in ?grave danger? of not meeting tomorrow?s financial obligations and that closure could be ?imminent?..."

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
