Re the forthcoming larger development of the Iceland site, it was interesting this morning to watch clientele for the carwash lined up on double yellows and their cars washed while the pavement was blocked by further cars waiting to get into the car wash. Don't see how the carwash will meet demand when the new development gets going. Additionally, with the ever present Southwark parking wardens always busying themselves around on their scooters just how is it that the carwash gets away with breaking parking rules over and over again? Would any councillors like to look into that?


If the OP is indeed Councillor Smith, which is doubtful, I would say to him too late, the developers had their little long game all figured out and Councillors, including those that frequent this forum and sit on planning committees somehow did not figure out what the developers were up to...odd that. Still with the very likely increase in parking some councillors will be delighted when fraught residents looking for a solution look afresh at CPZ. Ah, the art of politics and the long game.

My friend in Chesterfield Grove is forever trying to get someone interested in the lack of action by traffic wardens to that carwash. All to no avail. Traffic wardens visit the carwash but miraculously no-one gets a ticket!

If anyone didn't know and is going to be affected by their closure there is a opportunity to start online shopping. I know its not some peoples kettle of fish but its very convenient. I've never tried Iceland online but they recently restarted their online delivery service after pioneering the service it many moons ago. You can now shop online and get your groceries delivered to your door, SE22 postcode is now covered by delivery. I am assuming deliveries are coming from Walworth or Catford stores as they are the biggest ones in the area to my knowledge. Might be worth a try if you use Iceland regularly.

If the planners had anything about them they should have seen that the combination of the new, much larger development and shop with more deliveries, plus the carwash, is a no no. You have to look at the impact of both because that is the reality. Instead the planners/ Southwark have doffed their caps to the developers and welcomed them in to create further chaos.


Those councillors that sit on the planning committees should hang their heads in shame except I believe that those that pushed hard for CPZ knew all along how this would finish and have played both ends to the middle.

      Charter School ED - SEN / ADHD experience

      By bettyorange · Posted

      Thanks for posting this JMK we have had 3 children at Charter East so have been involved with the school from the very early days and have watched the impact of inconsistent, unsupportive and at worst unprofessional and biased management on them over the years. Individual teachers have at times been great and as JMK says it is the overall structure that creates a toxic and punitive atmosphere which directly impacts some families more than others and these are the kids overwhelmingly that have an SEN.  The experience of these families is night and day compared with the families with children that can cope in this system.

      RECOMMENDATION FOR HANDYMAN

      By jandhuk · Posted

      Another recommendation for Lukasz, he sorted out our bifold door. He came at the agreed time, found the issue very quickly, adjusted it, all very carefully and with attention to detail. And he was very reasonably priced as well.

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Well sure someone will correct me but years ago, in Singapore and I was quite young so not sure if it is true. but if you were caught stealing, your little finger or just the  tip part with nail was chopped off.  Stigma for  life as all know that was punishment for stealing… no questions asked.Totally agree it is barbaric but equally putting people  into overcrowded prison for minor offences is also not right. Tagging I guess would not work or maybe does… no idea at all.  Not so long ago, heard a talk about how European’s cope/deal with prisoners and how the suggest rate is higher and offences lowered greatly as in not going back to prison for same  or another offence.  The general gist was their approach was each prisoner mattered , was heard and listens to and a suitable package was tailored towards their needs. Not  b one package for all. Not cooped up for the majority of the day - encouraged as an example to cook, garden, grow food, other household stuff  plus study if wanted for courses, languages etc. and mental health, dependency on substance abuse also addressed. Can’t remember if they were paid c pocket money which clearly accumulated or could be used to  I purchase whatever in prison. If they can do it by experimenting and I think but not sure, at the time an English prison was learning why can’t this sort of program be rolled  out throughout UK - cut backs not an excuse - think of the millions lost by govt during Covid…  Maybe it is - no experience in the matter at all.

      Cat Flap

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      Why have things got so complicated? I suppose a cat flap with a timer might be useful for people out all day but can't really see the point of them when its so easy to flip a simple mechanical lock. This is how my last cat flap operated but had to be replaced when cat wearing cone of shame tried to escape and broke it. The cat flap I have now is one of those linked to cats microchip but even then there is just a four way dial which allows different kinds of access - or not. Not that cat is bothered, refuses to use it and demands i open the door for her. This is bit of a rant because along with a new boiler I got a new electronic programmer which is really annoying as it takes 5 minutes to change a simple temperature whereas with old programmer it took 10 seconds. Hope you get sorted @oglander and enjoy your future servitude to your feline master.
