But rickets is making a comeback.


The AJ is by subscription so I can't read the link, but on the face of it this is excellent news.


Might help with the rickets too (short duration maximum skin exposure in the right season and time of day), unless people go overboard with the sunscreen.

Not being able to read the AJ piece, but being curious about this project, I had a quick Google.


After reading about Studio Octopi's proposals for floating freshwater swimming pools in the Thames, I wonder what might happen on the Rye. I mean, I was imagining a basic 'dig pool, add changing room and vending machine' effort which would be fine, but my expectations are now spiralling wildly.

Using that link didn't work but finding the article directly through Google does (I've never visited the AJ site before, maybe that's why).


The most interesting bit:


"The plans include a 50m heated pool surrounded by smaller natural pools that would draw water from the underground River Peck which runs directly beneath the site.


Alongside the pools would be single?storey pavilions housing a gym, caf? and community space."


Heated pool - take that, Brockwell!

      DVLA Licence Renewal

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I had to renew my licence - took photocopy of my current licence and also my renewal application and posted everything off. Within 10 days received my new licence. My old licence was due to run out in January so I submitted the renewal early December.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      I cannot remember who ran/organised the original ED LETS. They had meetings at the ED Community Centre every so often. I think there were about 20 - 25 people involved.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By ianr · Posted

      That looks consistent with what I saw when I checked a few weeks ago, after someone raised a fresh thread asking about the progress.  I was about to post here asking if anyone could help with what seemed a bit of  a  mystery.  The planning register didn't show the application as decided.  I couldn't find any minutes of the committee meeting that James reported on last year, or any mention in any other minutes of the application.  The meeting was itself  flagged in the meetings schedule as MOVED (presumably to another date).   Incidentally, I remember one of the atttached planning documents being a report on the financial prospects then pertaining.  As far as I understood and remember it seemed to show the construction for sale of the buildings a ? poor prospect for the investment.  I'm no expert though.
