Indeed public charging points can be more expensive than fuel. Polar Plus is cheaper than Source London (which I only use when I would be paying for parking anyway) you get a free first year but Ubitricity sockets in lamp posts is the way to go. Yes I am an obsessive plugger-in of my PHEV otherwise what is the point? I don't have a driveway but if I did I would go pure electric. I agree that discouraging car use is desirable (some families in my road have two cars) but the nature of my job needs me to drive late at night but if car sharing was more viable.........

I have a hybrid, ?9 to ?10 to charge on the dedicated Source London Points plus membership -after the first year of ?4 per month- (these points are often blocked by electric car club cars plugged in but not charging Blue City is owned by tge same French company that owns the charging points) this give an electric only range of 28-34 miles, the Ubitricity points in the street lamps for the same amount of charge cost ?2.28 via an app with no membership = no brainer. Love driving without adding to the emmissions but we are a long way from it being an easy choice and if I could rely on an electric car club vehicle being readily available would have no hesitation in not owning a car. As for Townley Road, expect to regularly see a row of Red Blue City Electric cars more or less based there permanently, can't wait!

Depends what you are burning are how frequently you have them https://www.gov.uk/garden-bonfires-rules

Actually Southwark is a smokeless zone and if this is regular occurrence the Council can prosecute, you have my sympathy my neighbours burn any old stuff in their fireplace and some winter nights are piling smoke into the atmosphere. Report it here http://www.southwark.gov.uk/air-quality/reporting-air-quality-infringements

Check that you are not being billed by cubic foot when your meter is metric and therefore cubic metres - this can result in being overcharged by 2.83 times. Very common when you regularly switch suppliers and they are never in a hurry to refund you the difference - http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theoneshow/2009/12/is-a-gas-meter-mixup-costing-y.shtml

Friday night @ JAGS during term time

Having just been through this process for the same reasons, I recommend you look at Harris Crystal Palace, the new Prendergast Vale College, Sedgehill School as well as the Charter and Kingsdale schools

Another unhappy family here been offered St Thomas the Apostle College (RC Boys) in Nunhead despite each of our choices stating we wanted a non-religious co-educational option for our son Not a chance we will send him there!

I too fell for this credible guy - very embarassed and very angry with myself for falling for this scam

Garden waste recycling was suspended until this week to allow the crews to catch up with general household waste collection www.southwark.gov.uk/YourServices/environment/RecyclingPages/

I'm the other side of Barry Road. I used to have this problem and also the syncronisation between the picture and sound I then insisted on a new box - as I still had the old NTL type box - problem has never recurred.
