I've just been sent this info. I hope it belongs in this section, given that extending the bike hire scheme is a hot ED forum issue and it's a chance to gossip...


'Cyclists are invited to come to chat and cycle about cycle issues with Jenny Jones, London Assembly member, tomorrow, Tuesday 10th May.


08:00: Meet at Camberwell Green.

09:30: Cycle to Clapham common (Clapham common/Long road near the Long pond) to meet Wandsworth cyclists.

Potentially explore the soon-to-open CS8 Superhighway route from Wandsworth to Millbank.

12:00: End at City Hall.


Jenny Jones is keen to improve cycling around London, raise cycle awareness and to expand the cycle hire scheme to the same scale (at least) as the Paris Velib. If the London scheme were on the same scale as Paris, Camberwell would be within the area of the scheme.'

Thanks for posting but it's a shame it's a bit too late for most people to read and do anything about :(


I would love to participate but with this much notice there's little i can do at 11pm to change my schedule...


Sorry...


(poor show if you've just been notified of this at this late stage,

could this not be re-arranged to allow more people to do something who wish to show their support??!)

I might also question who this is aimed at helping.

If this is to aid commuters on their run into town (as the majority user)

then surely it would be better to schedule this outside of working hours??


As an LCC member, I'm saddened to see the lack of thought and consideration

that appears to have gone into this campaign. Have the LCC been invited, do

they form part of this consultation?


Please correct me if i have missed something.

    • Hi, I am from the Southwark Day Centre and could collect some apples if I am. It too late... Bettina 
    • 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?
    • I don’t think anyone has mentioned Peckham FoodCycle yet, they might enjoy some apples! https://foodcycle.org.uk/location/foodcycle-peckham-saturdays/
    • 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.
