I've heard rumors that the London Mayor wants to extend the CC zone to Lambeth and Southwark and Greenwich?

Is it true ? Does anyone know anything about such rumours, and if the CCharge comes to Southwark will it be a benefit for the Residents ( more green air ) or is it just another "stealth" tax ?

The London Underground map, rearranged so that South London gets most of the stations, just makes you realise how little the tube serves South London. Is it a good idea to bring in a congestion charge where the public transport options are limited?

It comes from this site

I work for Greenwich, and travel to Woolwich each day (for my sins)... If they do what is being suggested in either of those plans, it will be a nightmare! Basically, people won't have the option of going around the zone, those areas are so busy because people HAVE to go through them!


Interesting that they leave Blackheath (the rich area) alone, when those roads are a nightmare in rush hour!!!!!!!!!!!


Note: I don't drive, I get the bus, and it's a horrid journey. I can't see this helping though!


Anyway.... Back to ED, sorry ;-)

    • its based on the income  the [to be x] freeholder will lose - ie the ground rent and any service charges. Unless D Estate follows different laws to everybody else.
    • Hi everyone. I’m currently in the process of buying a house on the Dulwich Estate with ~86 years left on the lease. I’ve found it quite hard to get clear information online about the realistic cost of buying the freehold from the Dulwich Estate. I was wondering if anyone here has experience dealing with the Dulwich Estate and, if so, roughly how much it cost to purchase the freehold. I know it will vary depending on the property, but even a ballpark figure would be really helpful so we can decide whether the purchase makes sense for us. Thanks very much in advance.
    • It looks like a tap for the gas lighting that used to be found in those homes. The little tap would regulate the flow of gas to give a brighter or dimmer lamp. It's probably not part of any gas feed now and you can check that for yourself by following the gas pipework from your meter (which should only run to the kitchen to supply a boiler and cooker). Next time you have your boiler serviced, ask the engineer to have a look for you. 
    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!
