A story on new developments given flashy American names, like the Tribeca next to the Crystal palce road - Goose Green gym, in an attempt to lure international money laund, ehm, investors. I hope I can quote half a sentence without infringing copyright:

"

these homes aren?t for the people who live in these places. No kid from Camberwell or Peckham or Brockley is going to mistake Goose Green for Washington Square Park. Neither are they going to fail to notice the flats in The Tribeca cost about 20 per cent more than what Zoopla says is the going rate for their postcode.

A story on how more and more homeowners are extending rather than selling and moving, and which mentions ED as the UK's location where homeowners are most likely to consider an extension


The second story seems unreliable hot hair, as 'likely to consider' doesn't mean much, plus it was all based on a survey by an online architecture service, which residents of the Royal Borough and other super prime areas are maybe less likely to use anyway.


The first one is IMHO more interesting.

    • I know people won’t have any sympathy but the SEND challenge was brought up when taxing parents who have opted for independent school to meet a child’s SEND needs. Funding crisis is getting worse and the VAT on Education pushed children out of independent schools, now their SEND needs are to be met by the state.
    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
