Hi all,


Just a mention of Southwark-freecycle as a really good alternative to dumping the tips etc. If you have items you have no further need of or have outlived thier purpose (please no gender jokes) it's worth a look. Essentially, for those who don't know, it works as a swap shop, the main proviso being that nothing is sold and everything is free. Have a look at


http://groups.yahoo.com/group/southwark-freecycle


and no I have no connection other than I am a new member and think it's a great idea.


cheers

Freecycle is fantastic.


I have given away a pram, and collected some excellent hi-fi. It's not strictly a swap; you can give or you can request. The southwark group is new [groups in london are borough-sized so less transport is involved] but i have been a member of lambeth group for about six months.


you can join in two ways; either by receiving email allerts [good for smaller groups like southwark] or by having access to a message board [good for big groups like london] so i get both in those modes. you have to offer something free to start the membership.


Highly recommended, and you [usually ] get to meet nice recycling kind of people like you are!

    • Naaah, it's rubbish - it would be a change of use so would need planning. https://www.planningdirect.co.uk/planningappeals/affordable-planning-applications/change-of-use/commercial-to-takeaway-change-of-use There's not enough footfall for a McDonalds, anyway, and they're quite picky about their sites 
    • So let's never do anything that might improve an area, because it will just be dragged down to the level of what's presently there? Is that what you are saying? I don't have the time or the inclination to do the research, but I'm pretty sure that I have read  that when people who had lived in a very run down area  were given  nice surroundings, they appreciated and looked after them.
