Just wanted to put on record my congratulations to the organisers of the GALA festival. What a great event. It must have been so stressful for them - particularly given all the uncertainty of the recent environment. While it may have caused irritation for some, it?s so brilliant to be back in a situation in which people have the freedom to have a good time.


I went on Friday and had a great time. It was really well organised and people we (broadly!) well behaved. We are so lucky to live in such a vibrant city and fantastic society. After 18 months of sacrifice for others, it was really nice that young people got to do something on their terms.

Thought someone was having a big street party until realised it was coming from the Rye. This followed the jerk cookout event on Saturday, so we have had live music in earshot all weekend, although I preferred the former. The Horniman event was very friendly, as it sounds GALA. Nice one.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
