Hi everyone


I recently came across The Good Gym - a project running in Tower Hamlets that pairs runners with isolated less-mobile people in their area. It helps people get fit (by providing a good reason to go for a run) and helps the person being visited (by providing them with some friendly human contact). There are also monthly group runs that include a community-focused activity, for example planting trees or tidying up community centres.


I?ve been talking to the people behind The Good Gym about extending the scheme to our area, and would be really interested to hear what other residents think of the idea. Would you be interested in joining a group run? Visiting someone in your area on a regular basis? Or maybe you could suggest a community centre, school or library who could benefit from the help of a group of willing runners?


Thanks in advance for your thoughts...

      East Dulwich On The Water!

      Yes, it would be great to see them nationalised. Along with the other water companies they seem to have a great business model: -submit a 5 year plan to the regulator asking for yearly price increases to cover the cost of improving the infrastructure and get them to approve it - carry on paying handsome dividends to shareholders and eye watering salaries to senior executives  - fail to achieve the infrastructure targets at the end of the five years, make some excuses and draw up the next plan Magic!

      Estate Agents - recommendations/avoid?

      By Mau · Posted

      Avoid KFH. Agree with other comments that it is best to talk to lots of people.  Also, (not particularly related to the above agent), I wish I had read the reviews a lot more, rather than relying on numbers.  Depending on whether you are renting, letting, selling or buying the reviews often differ a lot depending on the relationship you have with the agent and it is worth checking whether the good/bad reviews match your situation.
