Last Saturday of 2023. So this will be the last Healthy Ride of the year. Join us for a gentle ride around our parks.  Burn off a few of the excess calories consumed over the holidays. Meet Peckham Square (next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse leisure Centre,  SE15 5RY), 10 am. Finish back there at 12 noon. Burgess Park, Myatts Fields, Ruskin Park, Dulwich Park, possible stop off at Velodrome, Peckham Rye Park.  No signing up. Just turn up if you feel like it.  Forecast a bit iffy but who cares? Just dress for the weather.
Hope to see you 10am, 30th, Peckham.
 
This ride is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.

    • 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.
    • 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!!
