One of today's news stories is that the environment will be a big hot topic for the election this year


With that in mind, will political parties still insist on producing forest loads of leaflets, newsletters and other canvassing material that will be dropped through our letterboxes and ultimately into recycling?


One to watch I feel.

I think that it'd be definitely be right to reduce giving leaflets to people who haven't asked for them, but I'm sure it wont stop entirely


as an aside but still on politics and the environment, I've always thought that creating barriers to trading with your closest neighbours has got to be bad for the environment


surely a Spanish orange has a lower footprint than one from say Florida?


but that doesn't seem to be talked about much

      Stephen Viccary - Bathroom installation

      By Ergo_mark · Posted

      Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145

      Dulwich Eco Gardening - Professional Landscape Gardening / Design

      Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
