One long ride

London Bridge to Woolwich Circuit. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-woolwich-circuit-tickets-633639862887 >. Meet 10am at Southwark Needle, south side of London Bridge, close to the station. 22 mile, estimated 3 hour, ride with Jamie leading.  Route to Woolwich along the south side of the Thames.  Break at Woolwich for coffee. Then under river to Silver Town and Royal Docks and back up to Greenwich and Southwark Needle. A variation on a route we have used several times. Lots to see. Plan to be back at the Needle at 1pm or a little after. 

and a shorter one.

    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
