As someone who can easily work from home I've enjoyed watching the debate swing to and fro! Surely 'once in a generation' also applies to the responses of the councils and the transport authorities too, and therefore if it happens again we can expect a faster response based on experience, which in turn will enable us to carry on as usual?


Back to the lovely Otto - shall we pick up a suggestion from his previous thread and all sweep our housefronts clear of the loose fresh snow before it turns to ice?

Thank goodness the snow band was positioned further to the west hence us missing anything like what we had sunday into monday. However, still a continued threat for 1 to 3 cm in evening rush hour, Greater London remains on yellow alert for snow causing disruption into this evening has the band tracks south again. My gut feeling is that it will fall as rain this time.


Louisa.

    • If you don't mind al fresco, there is a huge food market by the Royal Festival Hall: https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/food-and-drink/southbank-centre-food-market/
    • Ahh, that's too bad. The SLP was always on sale in Sainsbury's and always available in libraries. They did some really detailed local crime reporting and local government reporting that other outlets wouldn't focus on.
    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
