just scooted home via Peckham high st and took a short cut to avoid a main jct and quite glad I did - did have some lippy little t*rds mouthing off and trying to look hard, but the tension in the area was so visible - i've never seen to many residents of peckham out on the streets at 6pm.

Unbelievable, I can smell the smoke from the Rye Lane fire in my kitchen. I live ten minutes away. Helicopters hovering nearby. I think the fire is under control as the thick smoke has stopped.


Wrong info, I can still see the smoke from my kitchen window.

I'm so angry! This is mindless bloody violance. Some t**t on the radio earlier trying to justify behaviour saying it's because people aren't being listened to, no jobs blah blah blah. There's no excuse for this behaviour. It's so sad that this might be the perception of the rest of the world before the London Olympics.

i feel the same; I want to run down LL and set up a live barricade which will fry them if they approach it. Selfish crazy people who are achieving nothing but ruining peoples homes, businesses and lives..i hope no one gets killed..anything is likely

Came through Old Kent Rd on my motorbike tonight, went to Asda on Old Kent Rd: that was closed, then Morrisons - that was closed and pallets up in the doorways. Dog Kennel Hill Sainsburys closed. Tesco metro shut at the end of Rye Lane. Lots of afro-caribbean kids on mobile phones wearing hoodies looking furtive near where the road splits around the Rye and goes into the little one way system, I glanced at one and he was definitely up to no good-the armed forces call it "aware" - he was definitely that . A definite feeling of tension about the place. This is very redolent of Toxteth back in 1982 which I remember as I lived nearby. It's definitely co-ordinated- nothing to do with peaceful protest-all to do with anarchy. Can see flames near Rye Lane from our flat in Overhill Rd. Two helicopters about 15 mins ago and another other north east London.

This IS London not Londonderry, isn't it?

      Buying land from council?

      By vladi · Posted

      I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.

      Buying land from council?

      By Ais · Posted

      Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.

      I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
