I do wonder if there are more about. We've had one in the garden this year for the first time ever, to our knowledge at least. And I found one in the fro.t garden compost bin yesterday. Never had one in there before. And no, we don't put cooked food in it, just plant and veg waste.

I?d rather have rats than people spitting everywhere, or leaving chewing gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe. The amount of take away food thrown on the streets when bins visible also makes me angry. If you don?t like rats, don?t chuck your crap on the floor.

really chuffed at the thought that new councillor McAsh's top priority for action would be catching rats on Goose Green.

any other helpful suggestions to improve our local area? maybe councillor McAsh could also pick up after any local dogs with negligent owners in his spare time?

Working near Lincolns Inn Fields it's a lovely walk (or run).


Good to hear the rats obeyed the injunction.

Did the rats leave in disgust at the presence of so many lawyers?

I'm deeply hurt!!!


Sadly, I think it was more of a death sentence than voluntary exit.

Or maybe they could pop round to yours and supply you with a tutor to sort out your constant post editing (evidently caused by not being able to spell properly).

Just joshing, I have three of them in the family (lawyers not rats).

Nice try (again) with the fake comments, Louisa - the Trump administration would be proud of you. You replied to my posting timed at 12.12 today and as you can see - that post has not been edited! Embarrassing?

Yes, you are embarrassing. You are constantly editing posts and then making out that it was for ?other reasons?. Very tiresome robbin. But I?m not the spelling police, so unlike you I won?t continue to raise it all the time.


Happy editing!

ah, but you see, it wasn't LL - this particular rodent was quietly going about its business on GG

to be clear - if you had posted about the risk to children and dogs from bad driving in ED, or the pollution from school-run drivers in ED, or the broken glass on pavements near the multitude of pubs and restaurants in ED, or the easy availability of junk food (to children) or chicken bones and other litter (to dogs) in ED, i would have been delighted to join forces with you in bothering new councillor mcash


complaining to the councillor about a rat on goose green - come on!

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
