The regeneration plans sound promising:


http://www.elephantandcastle.org.uk/regenerationprogramme/


"Key features of the Elephant and Castle framework for development include:


?demolition of the shopping centre and Heygate Estate

?rehousing of Heygate Estate residents into high quality social housing in the Elephant and Castle area

?removal of the congested road system and rerouting of traffic out of the core area

?creation of a new pedestrian-friendly town centre

?development of 6, 600 new homes

?creation of 75,000m2 of modern retail and leisure facilities

?design of an improved transport interchange

?creation of two new parks

?addition of two extra schools, including a city academy

?creation of over 4,000 new jobs as a result of these changes

?adoption of a range of innovative measures to minimise energy consumption

?quality design at the heart of the plans"


The rerouting of traffic alone should make an enormous difference.

    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
    • I know you asked for recommendations, but I have lots of families who would happily give a glowing reference for my tutoring.  Will DM you.
    • There's Gather  in Bellenden Road. And doesn't the Turkish (?) shop sell no packaging things? I'm sure it used to at one point. Maybe it stopped.
    • If nobody on here knows, I will ask at a DIY shop. I already googled, but most of the solutions aren't feasible for me, I don't think.
