I don't know about the merits of which minutiae warrant discussion here or not, but wish there was such an active forum where I live. I looked for one after joining here and all I could find had about a year's worth of messages (can you recommend a good au pair, plumber, good school without a waiting list etc) on a whole page from people spread all across the area it was meant to be aimed for. Maybe people north of the river just don't want to talk to each other. I've lived here all my life and that's probably the case.

KD you're a very sweet chap. Your neighbours should work harder!


On the li'l ol' lady, please take my concern and consideration for here well being as given, but..


I feel that we should have a responsibility to our community that sits hand-in-hand with our ego. It's not responsible to create derelict high streets by restricting access to commercial property. It's turning into an ED habit, with the place adjacent to Blue mountain as a further example.


Planning permission should work both ways - we're not entitled to turn our front rooms into shops, and we shouldn't be allowed to turn shops into front rooms. It's f*cked up.


(Yes I know, broken record, I have posted on this before ;-))

I don't think she did this though? I think she just lives on the top 2 floors and chose not to re-let the ground floor commercial premises? The main thrust of your point still applies of course - although there are former commercial properties all over ED that have been converted to residentials. Sometimes there is just no longer any commercial demand.

Don't believe everything you read in the Southwark Press.

Morning, Glad she is ok. Lots of people have been after this property it seems. Unfortunately with the current climate and degree of damage this place will be worth less sorry to say. She could have made a fortune had she sold up a couple of years ago.

    • he's not on the general radar - not with the Labour tax scandal and the new Tories wanting to buddy up with Starmer (on their terms). if anything, he's a irrelevant distraction from some real alarms
    • Let me rephrase this He does not seem to be personally bothered by the impact he has.  Rather than immune from somebody taking action against him.  Although the bar had to be raised and raised before anyone did anything, and there are still those in his party who think it was wrong to get rid of him. He delivered a poor Brexit so didn't get that right.  He didn't believe in it, in the first place, he was just getting one up on his chum Dave.
    • 1. No he's not, he made a pigs ear of things, his leadership was poor and his behaviour was unbecoming of the highest office in the land.  2. No they don't,  he was a prime buffoon 3. Not a messiah, in no way. He caused great damage to both the Party and Country after three years of differing by May. The only thing he completed was B  r  e  x  i  t.  Are we paying the price. Don't ask me, I was in an induced coma at the time, fighting for my own life.    
    • My comment is trying to not take any political side but rather be objective on what I see, hear and read. If the Government made a positive difference to people's lives, people would be pro this Govt, but sadly the majority don't see an improvement since they have been in Office, but rather the opposite so people's opinions of the Government are poor.  I think if you did a straw poll of users on here, the result for those in favour of the Government is likely to be unfavourable, but I may be totally wrong, quite possible. No one I speak or am in contact with has a single good word to say about the current Administration. In fact the calls for a General Election just become stronger and stronger.
