Very exciting. And your reason? Happy to contribute towards 1000s of deaths in London each year from the poor air?? The future is electric. As nobody on a bike goes further than about 30 miles nowadays ideal (I've done 500 miles on a bike in a day when I used it as a sole form of transport)

The future is actually pricing unnecessary private transport off the roads with a view to cleaning up the air..... so, people will think twice about driving the short distances where they could use alternate means.


A correlation with improvements in public transport is essential.

Wow, right on. That's a pub conversation (I am a professional tree huger BTW so many of my posts are to provoke discussion).


You can also argue that a near empty bus isn't great for the environment either.

Why? Prey tell. What's your issue? Why didn't you respond to TfL's consultation? Don't you have bigger issues ie the increasingly tougher restrictions on getting a licence in the first place and the cost of insurance? This is a social network/community forum where members talk about issues rather than post one liners. Persuade me. (yes I know I am coming across as pompous).

Not pompous at all Malumbu, imho, to expect posters to engage in a discussion rather than simply repeatedly bumping posts without any topic development.


I think others have made some excellent points, and I'd be very interested in reading further debate. xx

      Plumber recommendation – Mark at Pure Plumbers

      By JessicaCT · Posted

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
