Hey - it's better than sitting on the couch watching Antiques Roadshow repeats.

Same line repeated by the council on twitter this morning

"For the time being our leisure centres remain closed following the change in government guidance. We are working hard with Everyone Active, our leisure centre operator, to make our centres COVID-19 secure, ready for reopening. We will provide further updates as soon as possible."

Thank you. I tried calling them an no answer. Does anyone know if you can do one off swims without joining?

Can Cllr McAsh shed any light as to what is happening here?

Yes you can - it?s probably easier to book online or download the Fusion Active app.

I thought it was bad enough that fast food chains and pubs were allowed to open before gyms and leisure centres. And now we can't access our local centres to stay fit and healthy, even though the government themselves have stated obesity is an issue and increases your risk of dying from COVID-19, so I fail to see why Southwark council aren't wanting to keep us all fit and healthy by opening them.

He used to be but he hasn't been on here much since the council's road closures were implemented....;-)

Yes I agree. An older relative of mine found that the only exercise she could comfortably do was swimming as she had severe arthritis- not everyone can pound the pavements or cycle

To me this implies 5 million is wanted for July.


"In early July, council leader Peter John told the News: ?Our contractors are saying they need money immediately to keep going, but that is five million not in our budget for things like our leisure facilities."

      Local Dietician ?

      By Sue · Posted

      Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x

      A vet might be able to trace its owners if it's chipped. Also I believe twb who posts on here has a mobile scanner. Poor cat.

      Application for Londis Off-Licence next to Charter East Entrance

      By ianr · Posted

      If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
