The whole of ED is going to be put at major inconvenience/increased risk because of two expensive fee paying schools and the pattern of behaviour their parents exhibit. But protesting will make no difference. Southwark never consult meaningfully. They consult to say they have consulted then crack on with what they have already decided they will do. This will be no different.

This will do a fantastic job of pushing the problem somewhere else. Even better it pushes the problem away from an expensive fee paying school towards a free, state school used by local residents. Makes perfect sense.

Have had the same fraud attempted on my card. Blocked by bank. Use both of the shops you mention regularly too.

Brick House Bakery - bread waste
El Presidente replied to TaVa's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
a totally moronic post. Speak to the bakery if you care that much. Otherwise stop stirring trouble. -
Horniman Gardens - Proposed changes to the Gardens
El Presidente replied to dbboy's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Great proposals from Horniman. Thanks for flagging dbboy. I will be expressing my support in the consultation and encouraging others to do so. -

Worried that if I leave there will be a mass raid so will get my mate Brian to pop over. He's crap with nunchuks but is an expert shuriken practitioner so will be fine.

"New" bus routes starting 15th June

Khan gets lots of positive national headlines because Trump doesn't like him, but the reality is things are getting worse transport wise in ED. This is a massive reduction in local service. And of course our local Labour councillors simply rolled over. Not a scintilla of fight or exercising influence. Party loyalty over loyalty to the area they are supposed to represent. -
The Old Jaflong Restaurant to become a Pizza place
El Presidente replied to DulwichFox's topic in The Lounge
What we need is a committee of EDF regulars to approve any new business application and consider it in light of culinary and social diversity. This will ensure an efficient market and bring an end to all these silly entrepreneurs with their fancy ideas of competing with other businesses and meeting unmet demand. Long live the Committee. -
its happening next month

They probably already know what draconian scheme they are planning, but will be sequencing the consultation to get the result they want.
