      Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By ED_moots · Posted

      The application has now been notified and the local community have only 14 days to respond to the proposal consisting of over 100 documents. Almost impossible to digest the proposal and fairly assess its impact. PBSA should have separation from residential homes, this does not. As many have pointed out, there's no demand for student housing round ED. Also, it's huge. Will tower over the school and surrounding area. There seems to be no direct link or partnership with any university so this looks to be a giant investors HMO. More decent homes would be a much better use. If you want to comment or review the docs the link is here. https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=SHWOSNKBJXR00

      GP Practices in Lordship Lane/Forest Hill

      By beansprout · Posted

      Ditto for 306  - nothing but high praise for them. I have long term health conditions and they are ace - very surprised they haven’t closed their books to new patients. All the staff are so professional - receptionists, practice nurse, messages to remind you to book flu shots etc and of course GP’s Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

      Southwark council staff from environment, sustainability and leisure department - useless

      By Sue · Posted

      This was one employee of Southwark Council  He is accountable for his actions and behaviours, not Southwark Council. I really can't understand why you are continuing to  criticise Malumbu.

      Education not taxation - please consider signing this petition!

      Oh Bridget....deary me more ludicrous dog whistling...meanwhile back in the real world the NASUWT is urging Labour to delay the plans because of a worry of redundancies in the private sector that will be lost to teaching forever....there is far more at stake than embossed stationery. A seriously foolish post from an MP.
