MrClive3300 was made a british citizen today (yay only taken 9 1/2 years) and I just wanted to say how excellent the whole experience was. It was held in the town hall (in Peckham) - the mayor spoke about the rights and responsibilities of being British and gave an excellent speech about our Borough.


How its the most ethnically diverse in London, how the council owns 60% of housing, how its the most historical borough in London etc etc. I think there were about 29 different nationalities of people who were becoming British and the whole experience was so moving (I sobbed the whole way through it... possibly due to being pregnant as well)


The Mayor was available for everyone to take pictures with afterwards and to ask all sorts of questions at the end and the whole experience made me very proud to be British

yes he did but he loves all that stuff anyway! I think its really good that you have to learn all about the country you would like to be a citizen of and that they have a proper ceremony to mark the occasion - it really feels like you are part of the country and the community which is great.

Thanks for your good wishes xx

      Planning application - new Underhill Rd residential development

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Initially, when all the discussion took place at Bradbury some of existing building was to be demolished which meant that 3 flats would go but these residents would have to wait until new building erected to be housed. No indication has been given as to where people would be placed during building. I am glad that the tree is to remain - Bradbury residents contacted various environmental groups to lobby for tree to remain. I gather that there is likely to be a question of restricted views to be made by Wood Vale residents as 5 stories is significantly higher than current building.
