Bit over-stated that. Fully-paved front drives cause same/worse issues. The hermetically-sealed, boundary-to-boundary hard surfaces you see all over Dulwich prevent natural rainwater from continuing to nourish the dirt/clay under the house. Houses around ED have very very shallow foundations which is the root cause, frankly. I just spent a year renovating a house down to the foundations and they barely exist and the brickwork is easily disturbed by any ground movement.
Last time I checked, humans can't breathe their foundations can they? But most humans require oxygen... This foundations trope is the go-to bogey man. Defo not having a go at you Dave, I'm sure you'd prefer more trees to fewer trees, but short-term vs long term decisions must be made. Choices: Do we want a fully-paved, grey, barren landscape or greenery with all the health & beauty benefits?
it's so good, the new refurbishment. I couldn't believe how new and fresh everything looked. The treadmills are amazing and it's just nice to get new stuff!!! Well done Southwark
I didn't mean you were joking.
I mean whoever told your wife that may have been joking! Possibly with a straight face.
It would be highly unlikely that just one building in the whole area would run out of gas, surely?
Unless they have a system like caravans and someone forgot to change the bottles 😀
