Not to be too gloomy but the SRA are pretty hopeless. They seem to spend loads of resource hammering easy minor negligence cases relative to serious difficult cases like fraud. The SRA is itself under investigation: https://legalservicesboard.org.uk/news/enforcement-action-begun-against-sra-following-axiom-ince-review

Interesting... I couldn't find any districts where all four compass points are used, but now I have! Harrow East is a constituency, but is it a place?!

And Croydon, Acton, Harrow, Finchley, Kensington. I think they all miss a compass point: North, South, East, South and East respectively.

West Peckham surely?

There are a v small number of buyers (big tech, corp law, finance...) who have a budget £x and a target area y. They look in y and will pay £x for the best house they can find regardless of the economics/comparables elsewhere I'd say usually these sorts of people would also be looking in DV and around Marmora Road, but I guess the estate agents are hoping for someone whose y is "<60 seconds walk from the nice bit of Lordship Lane".

I've found Joseph's to be great on the 3 or 4 times I've been. Did you take it up with them first before potentially ruining an independent local business and its employees?

You can still turn up for a swim. You just can't if each lane has 10 people in it which seems reasonable.

I support the fines (and I have paid some) as it seems to have improved slot availability. You have to cancel with more than four hours notice. It is annoying that you don't get an email when you cancel and it seems the receptionists now have to spend ages dealing with queries about it, which distracts from service elsewhere.

Plenty of places they could seek new masts that comply with the rules the mobile operators agreed with the government AND economic to maintain. Hmmm every planning objection ever says this... so why do they never get built?!

I wrote on another thread I couldn't get through to an emergency helpline reliably last year so had to run half a mile up dkh from the grove hill road side to get a signal (Vodafone - might have been ok with other operators). Good luck to disabled or old people doing that...

One at the top of Dog Kennel Hill is currently being objected to as well. Mainly by Camberwell Grove residents on the other side of the hill who don't have a coverage issue.

I'm not keen on expanding LCY but the time saving vs Stansted, even if you work by Liverpool St, is way more than 20 minutes.

Is it the new branch of planet of the grapes or something else. If something else we are going to be spoilt for choice. Planet of the grapes is going to be frogley road so must be something else. Hopefully another branch of Jerome's Wine Bar in Brockley or that one on Bellenden Road.

In interests of science I walked the stretch in question. The awning is anchored on the road flush against the curb. No part of it blocks the pavement. The cottony material grazed my forearm with a gentle touch.
