Is anyone else having problems trying to register their car for a residents LTN permit for upland road as the council web site only seems to want to allow blue badge holders a permit .

We had a problem last year with a roofing company. They had previously fixed the roofing on our exterior boiler house and we had no complaints. They came back several months later and my husband foolishly let them in. They deliberately knocked down some guttering (I discovered this some time later) and damaged some roofing slates. We ended up going to Trading Standards who are investigating the company - they were registered at Company House but operated from various addresses which were used for mailing purposes only.

Posted around 12 cards 2 weeks prior to 24th December. Had some responses so know people have received them. Had about 20 cards - mixture of hand delivered and via post. After years of 'nagging' by myself and our daughters, we may have cured hubby of spending £4 plus on individual cards for our immediate family ( when you have 12 immediate family it costs a bomb) Also as the girls state, they get put in the recycling bad at beginning of January regardless of cost.

There was a LETS scheme in ED and it ran for a couple of years or so. Trying to remember when it was pre 2000? A couple of friends joined it, one did baby sitting for exchange for ironing, the other did small painting jobs or simple gardening. There was a set criteria regarding credits,

Hi a bit tricky to run a train to Victoria from ED what way would it go on a new line 😂

@Sue I don't know if she took over the pub..it does'nt ring any bells but I'm in contact with her so I'll try and remember to ask.

There used to be a sign on the outside boasting 6 trains an hour to LB. Until I pointed out that it was only 4! They removed the sign

Denmark Hill is 3 stops on the bus or around 12 mins walk from ED station with frequent trains to Victoria. ED is a small 2 platform station, it would struggle with the weight of a Victoria service on top of the frequent London Bridge service.

Hi maybe but a surveyor fees 😙get a master Builder or a master plumber and get a free quote 😊

Any known future improvements to the station? I feel a train to Victoria would help with the service

A damp specialist will sell you a damp solution. It could well be something different ( cracked drains, high ground level, guttering….). A surveyor will look at everything and won’t have their own trade solution to see you (i.e unbiased). Or you could contact your insurance company

Hi Alice that’s true

Hello, I feel as though our apartment is damp. I would like to borrow a dehumidifier to ascertain whether it is or not. Does anyone have a dehumidifier that I could borrow for a week? thank you, Brigid

Many damp experts have a single solution for all damp problems. Look at the simple solutions first.

But if the notion of inconsiderate cycling becomes more of a thing perhaps cyclists, especially e-bike and time triallers, will take it upon themselves to voluntarily slow right down abd even dismount in shared use spaces. Lime bike riders I have seen in the local parks and today zooming across the pedestrianised part of Dulwich Sq, mostly seem to go very fast- so not sure how the geofencing works.

4-5mph is about the speed that the motor will cut in and give you a boost. However Dulwich Park is geofenced. If you try and use a Lime bike or scooter in it, it won't give full power and I think it cuts out entirely if you try and ride them in the centre of the park rather than just around the edge. I've not tried it but maybe I should give it a go in the name of research... There is of course the final, rather significant, point which is that speed limits do not apply to pedal cycles...
