To me it showed how "progressive" social planning and engineering ruined a neighbourhood. A less progressive and more (small c) conservative approach would have allowed the area to evolve naturally at a pace that the community could be content with.

I detected a sense of arrogance behind the "progressive planning policies". The locals were not consulted over the proposals. The Chair of Lewisham planning committee, Nicholas Taylor, expressed his amazement to why locals refused to move to tower blocks. Even call them ungrateful.


The government often talks about breakdown in familiy values but their policies often plays a pivotel role. Free market, anyone?

That's one big condescending ego that Nicholas Taylor manages


Jeez, how he's got the guts to walk down Depford high street I don't know


Maybe there's a "Nicholas Taylor how-not-to" module taught in Architectural schools now


What an awful legacy


:X

I remember scoring at the Farm back in the 80s or early 90s when it was all squats. I'm sure I went to some mad party there once too. I am though very glad they have been restored to their former glory. They were very shabby back then but look fabulous now.

Would have liked them to have mentioned what a great school Mary Datchelor was. I know some wonderful girls who went there. I believe it was the last grammar school to close in England. All posh flats now.

The Grove House Tavern I'd have liked to have had more of a mention to. Had some interesting times in that pub over the years. It was mentioned (under a different name) in Charles Dickens' Tale Of Two Cities.

So much of Camberwell was squats until the early 90s - The Farm, All the roads above the Sun & Doves (Bavent etc), most of Vicarage Road, a lot of Lyndhurst Grove - many a decent crashed party. Agree with you on The Grove too Jah, in 1989 that was the South East London 'hang around until the pirate radio stations let you know the phone number to call for the right place in Kent' venue.... Acieeeeeeeeeeeed
Oh yes Quids. It was also always swamped with trendy students from the local art college as well. But quite a few faces in there too at one time or another - Peter Richardson and Pete Richens (Comic Strip), Robbie Coltrane, Bob Mortimer, Jenny Eclair and Miranda Sawyer and all over to the "Spanish" afterwards for a late sesh.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
