This is the last session under the Arch this year. We don't carry on after the hour change -- the mechanics' hands get too cold and they can't see what they're doing. Seem like good reasons. They will be working away from 5.30-7.30pm. A pic of the Arch is attached.

Our great team of mechanics (volunteers led by a pro) fix brakes, index gears, pump up tyres, and look for the source of that squeak. They are multi-talented and enjoy a challenge so if you've got one, bring it along. If you can't get along then we also run a teach-and-mend session at Camberwell Leisure Centre on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. The next one will be October 15th. That is a bit later -- 6.30-8.30pm.

All this stuff is free and (we hope) welcoming. We are Southwark Cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk and the LCC's website is here: https://lcc.org.uk/?ref=nav. You can contact us on [email protected], tweet us @southwarkcycle or text me on 07842 640 207. I might or might not know the answer but I'm friendly.

  Ask the surgeries. Most dentists I have been to were child friendly. The only one was the school dentist who'd come in a caravan and do lots of unnecessary work, which I now suffer from.

  Round-robin letter received this week regarding this. Main points are that the number of new homes is being reduced from 877 to 867. OK, not much change there, but.... "A reduction in the number of affordable homes from 270 (35% by habitable room) to 77 (12% by habitable room)" That's a 72% reduction in the number of affordable homes. I don't know a lot about this kind of thing, but it seems that just 77 affordable homes in a development of 867 is a massive pee-take in an area where a 1-bed flat is £400K+ if it isn't "affordable." If you're interested, the application can be viewed at https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/ ref 24/AP/2074 and there's a lot of objections to the reduction in affordable homes. The drop-in sessions are Weds 26th Feb (Peckham Library) and Mon 3rd March (All Saints Church) at 3pm. Full details attached. 24_AP_2074-FILE_COPY_-_NEIGHBOUR_NOTIFICATION_LIST-4005193.pdf
- VW badge theft in ED - advice on next steps

  I noticed 4 gone in a short stretch of Bellenden Road alone this weekend. I had no idea it was to do with the tech and thought that it was a retro Beastie Boys thing. Showing my age. Sorry I can only find a Facebook link if you are too young to remember this: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=578367166664170 Totally agree that it's a bad design flaw, and I bet the actual cost of the parts to VW is minimal so they could easily cough up some of the replacement costs. It's depressing that someone can go along a street popping these things off cars with very little worry about being prosecuted.
