Have you ever considered your own motivations?

The actual application and guidance on representations can be seen on the Southwark Licensing pages at https://app.southwark.gov.uk/premises/applied/887835. (If you want to access and search any of the various licensing registers you can currently get to them at any time via a button at https://www.southwark.gov.uk/business-and-licences.)

Ah, dozy me. Thanks for pointing that out. I was so impressed by the MOT details being there I didn't expect anything else could be so didn't check any further. I've not owned anything with an internal combustion engine for decades. Recently found a light tool that I've a dim memory of using for (??) timing checks.

I saw that when it was published here in July 2023: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/328625-one-dulwich-have-met-with-cllr-mcash/page/5/#comment-1628881. It looks and probably was stupid. I don't think posting it again has any value. If you can point me to some of the instance(s) of the word "innovative" that you mention, that would be helpful. But don't let it deflect you from continuing to respond to my previous post.

With no notional hat on would I feel entitled to have that belief without knowing a lot more. Nor do I feel I "have to admit it is very odd behaviour." For a start, Is there a viewable copy or description anywhere of the poster? Are there any comments reported that might say something of her motivation in taking it down? I note too the vague generality of your "reflected in her research", which might refer to anything ranging from, say, a choice of career to a falsification of data. What specific conclusions have you reached?

The https://www.carcheck.co.uk/ history service is free, which is just as well given that it's freely available from DVSA* at https://www.gov.uk/transport/mots. Carcheck do provide some additional general info as well, and have even beaten DVSA to getting the 2027 MOT record up. There is a .car top-level domain (just as this forum's top-level domain is .uk) but any mention of gov anywhere before it -- like mot.records.gov.car -- would suggest it's owned by someone who wants to fool users into believing that it's an official government website, which it isn't. It doesn't end in gov.uk * There's also a link from a DVLA Tax/MOT check results page

They're both names that have stuck in my mind, Lukasz particularly. These searches may well be helpful to you. From a cursory look, I think Pawel's appearance in the 2015 'Rogue trader warning' isn't to his detriment. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/search/?q= Lukasz&quick=1 https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/search/?q=Pawel&quick=1

Have you thought of writing your own paper demonstrating this? https://www.westminster.ac.uk/news/university-of-westminster-to-lead-major-ps15m-new-study-on-low-traffic-neighbourhoods-in-london

How is congestion assessed?

That sounds interesting. Thanks for the mention.

The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita's Public Service division yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess: https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/. In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not be able to efficiently take over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.

Quotation and/or reference please.

Nothing I can see to the contrary on the Companies House website. But their licence expires in four days, so you might want to check that some time. https://environment.data.gov.uk/public-register/scrap-metal-dealers/registration/E5019-879385-S/

https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/supermarkets/article/supermarket-price-comparison-aPpYp9j1MFin declares them to be next cheapest after Aldi and Lidl. Is it that the small Express ones charge more than the full-size ones?
