First Saturday in 2026 – first Healthy Ride. Nice easy loop from Peckham via Burgess Pk and Canada Water.
10am start in Peckham Square. Bruce leading a 10 mile, flat ride. Start down to Burgess Park then back streets to Cycleway 4 at St James Rd. Short stretch to Southwark Park then ride round the park and cross along new path to Canada Water. Coffee stop at Corner Corner. Next to Thames Path at Brunel Tunnel Museum. Along to Surrey Water then up to Stave Hill. Warm up by running up Stave Hill then bike through Russia Woodland to Greenland Dock. On via South Dock to Cycleway 4 on Evelyn St. Use crossing to access Deptford Park then through new development (Neptune Wharf) to corner of Folkstone Gardens and up Surrey Canal Road to Bridgehouse Meadows. New cycle lane and crossing to Brimmington Park then back streets to Peckham Square. Lots to see, no tricky crossings.  Get 2026 started with this relaxed social ride. Route map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1_x8-bZXxlNDJhaju-TDrTb2arxcRxiA&usp=sharing.
Forecast for Saturday is dry and sunny but ONLY 1 DEGREE – very cold. Dress appropriately, some guidelines here. Over Friday night temperatures are forecast to fall below zero so there is a risk of ice, especially if it rains on Friday. The route chosen should have low risk of ice, but be careful travelling to the start.
Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe.  If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. These rides are part of a regular programme of (mostly Saturday) rides organised by Southwark Cyclists, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and sad looking, and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
