What do people think about the new shelters that have been erected on either side of the platforms at ED Station?


Both shelters will definitely offer better protection from the weather, but.....


* Do they have enough seats?

* Are they too cramped?

* Where are the litter bins? It looks like they've been designed so that litter simply blows away - all over the surrounding area!

* What's going to happen to the very serviceable seating that is now stacked up alongside them? Will it be just left to rust away?


Was this money well spent?

I did wonder if anyone else had concerns about the increased potential for rubbish build-up in the wildlife area behind the new platform shelters, arising from the gap at the back.


This morning, waiting for the late running 9.31 to London Bridge, I had plenty of opportunity to observe the stack of undistributed Metro newspapers, dumped in the corner next to the top of the path, being agitated by the wind and threatening to blow through. These and anything else dropped on the floor will be able to make a seamless habitat transition and become lodged amongst the brambles, awaiting archaeological discovery some time in the next century.


Surely some bins wouldn't be too much to expect?

      Taxes

      It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.

      In  parts of Europe you just get charged tax at the end of your stay somewhere. Usually a couple of quid added to your bill. Most tourists are pretty happy to stump up the cost, as it's an expected expense.  I  think it's a good way to make money and remove the burden from locals.  It's for foreigners, Sue - I'm sure Londoners and brits will still be able to freely cross the borough lines without having to go through checkpoint charlie 🙂

      It doesn't work like that. There won't be differential pricing for tourists and residents at any attractions, no checkpoints nor a requirement to carry one's papers with one at all times. A levy is put on hotels, maybe on Air B&Bs, on a bed per night basis. That cash goes to Southwark. It's pretty easy to administer.

      Application for Londis Off-Licence next to Charter East Entrance

      By paulu197 · Posted

      Don't see an issue at all. Sounds like the protest is being made by friends and families of the two off licences, Morleys, pret and maxim chicken who are within 100 m of the school. Much ado about nothing. Besides if it doesn't proceed, the kids will walk a but further!!
