Silver swim is still a lane swim. However, the slow lane is pretty relaxed. I have recently had a knee replacement, so I mostly walk in this lane exercising my leg on the way! You can book a week in advance i.e. for a Tuesday swim, you can book on the Monday a week prior after 10pm. Likewise for the Thursday swim, you can book on the Weds a week prior after 10pm. It gets booked up pretty quickly, there often aren't any places the day after booking opens. Other than that, keep an eye open for cancellations, especially a day prior. Good luck! -

How can councils reduce social housing element? Is this just London or through out UK? Housebuilders making enough money as it is!! When are housebuilders going to understand their social responsibilities — with a shortage of property throughout UK, guess like everything, does not matter whuch Govt in charge… back handers, mates blah blah.. Been going on for years… Europe as a whole, well most of them can find ways of supporting homeless with pods etc, turn containers into housing and we in UK? Do what? Govt - all for some extraordinary reason are not accountable for mis using tax payers money.. NHS not held accountable either for mis use of funds and yet, we expect and complain if overworked doctors, nurses etc are doing their best in a very difficult situation. Years ago, wrote a paper on elderly care, bed blocking, dementia and no plans going forward to accommodate or in deed plans in place to sort out social care.. No wonder, medical professions are looking to work or relocate abroad.. Simply do not get it at all.. changing names of govt departments to something what? Acceptable in 21century is not going to solve the problems… Same goes for police, fire department, ambulances, schools etc.. only sector that seems to be having and have had for years, monies and support is sport… Education is in same situation - having to ask for donations for books, musical instruments etc and now expected to train toddlers in how to use utensils for food, provide food and train/assist potty training to use of toilets…plus normal teacher and or assistant duties. Not even going to go down route of SEN needs… Rant over.. -
I completely agree. Mickey did some work for a couple I know and from this, I asked him to do some plastering for me. He works to a really high standard, is reliable, fair priced and very clean and considerate. He does the work himself, so you do not get random people coming to your home. If you are looking for a trades person MJ Lawless Plastering Services is your person. His number is 07930 678 989 -

Current status of Planning Application 24/AP/2314 is the approval document was published 31 December 2025 with effect 1 January 2026. https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/files/E5F5EC6005598720843BC00D7E6A7D11/pdf/24_AP_2314-DECISION_NOTICE_-_MAJOR_-_GRANT-4194604.pdf It has 41 conditions many of which must be confirmed via further applications into Southwark Council before works on site can begin. I've not seen any applications to start discharging those conditions yet - amazed some of these have not been prepared by the developer. No work of any kind is allowed on site until some of those conditions are discharged. Additionally the sites proximity to the rail tracks means Network Rail will have to be heavily involved. My work experiences with Network Rail would suggest quite some delay will come rom them alone. With the national government and Southwark Council planning to reduce the proportion of social housing from 35% to 20%, and some schemes in Southwark are now only provided 2% social housing. It would be amazing if the developer doesn't seek an amended viability appraisal to reduce social housing for the scheme or even taller buildings.
