All Activity

The council had to make it a bus gate else the buses would not be able to use Etherow Street as a bus stand. Clearly buses pose less of a danger to school users than other vehicles!

@Earl Aelfheah you seem to like to try to claim the interventions are getting people out of their cars. Given what is happening on Underhill or Ryedale the jury would seem to be out on that...what the interventions are clearly doing is displacing traffic from one road to another. As @Moondoox said, traffic on their road (Ryedale) increased due to the interventions. If the active travel policy implemented does nothing more than displaces traffic from one road to another then it is a failure, especially if it results in increased congestion and pollution.

Thank you all SO much for the suggestions. I didn't expect such a helpful and well considered response. Our plans changed and in the end I didn't try any of them but I certainly will in the future. You don't know how grateful I am for the help.. The strain and effort involved in dining out because of the background noise really puts me off . I do have hearing aids but they aren't a great help. And in fact magnify many of them associated sounds in eating establishments.

Jafar lives up to his 5/5 reviews. A great job well well done. Dismantled the boiler replaced the part and everything put back together and working. I can only agree with all his excellent reviews.

I know I shouldn't bite, but .... Would you like to give some specific examples of exactly why you consider this orange faced narcissist with the apparent mental capacity of a gnat (that's probably being unfair to gnats) and a clearly rapidly declining memory the "best US president of the last 50 years"?

Southwark Council has issued a response on changes to planning in London, urging a rethink - “We have significant concerns over plans to allow developers to build fewer affordable homes in London, and to cut developer contributions to local communities. “Under current proposals, the fast-track threshold for planning applications in London would be cut from 35% affordable housing to 20%. “The proposals would also cut in half the levy that developers currently pay when they build, which helps pay for much-need local community improvements. “Today we have submitted our responses to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and Greater London Authority consultations and urged a rethink.” Read the council’s response in full https://southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/planning/planning-policy-and-guidance/responses

I have a very large (at least four seater), very old (bought when I moved in circa 1990 🙄) sofa which I am very fond of. It was extraordinarily expensive (from Heals) at the time. It has loose covers and large feather filled cushions (on the seating part). It is completely sagging at one end (the end I usually sit) and I think the springs have "gone". Some time back I had a quote to repair it, and I can't remember what it was, but it was a lot, so I decided to put up with the sagging as it's not too bad if the cushion is plumped up. Every so often I look at other sofas, eg corner sofas, but I can't quite bring myself to say goodbye to this one. To get to the point. There are various DIY solutions online for sagging sofas eg putting a sheet of hardboard or something specifically made for this purpose beneath the cushions. However there seems to be mixed views on how successful this is in terms of comfort. Has anybody tried this, or other remedies? Did it/they work? I know I could just try it and see, but it seemed to be a good idea to ask first!

Hello - we need to replace our sons single bunk bed, can dismantle one and collect. pls dm or call 07958 548403 Thanks!

Uhh, what is this picture saying? I just see a few cars and a family.

I think you're right, they see Reform whose fortunes are rising as more of a going concern than the Tories. There was me thinking (hoping) Braverman had sunk back into obscurity. Sticking finger down throat.

Perhaps you could consider moving to an outer London borough Croweburg sounds like it may suit

I'm aware Rocks. Just not sure how that tallies with your claim that "despite all of the interventions to date, people are not getting out of their cars are they?"
