Having witnessed the assholes racing along Lancaster Road everyday I think anything the council can do to slow the traffic and hopefully stop it being used as a rat-run can only be a good thing. Just a shame it's taking so long.

Speaking of using up the cash I saw the most pointless example on Monday. Re-tarmacing a small section of the service road outside vagabond.Surely there are many more high priority spots around the borough needing a bit of new tarmac...?

@gardener-joe What old map are you referring to? I used to live above one of the hair shops on SGR and we often felt vibrations through the flat that we thought may have been a train but could never find info of any underground lines going up that w…

Seems like an eminently sensible idea... So long as it doesn't interfere with the trees of course
-
But this website, as much as we might like to think differently is not 'the community'. Just because it was mentioned here 4 or 5 years ago doesn't mean everyone, including neighbours (I'm yet to see anyone say they live in the immediate vicinity of…

I'm liking the SHR plan. It looks fairly bog standard modern design but with a few nice touches. I like the turntable idea. Certainly a lot better than the new ones on the corner.

Teenage kids get bored everywhere. Yes, there is so much to do here in London but how many kids do you see hanging around the streets, messing around, doing nothing - exactly the same things I used to do as a kid growing up in rural Devon. Answer? A…

I wouldn't say Tony Benn achieved nothing, without his voice who knows how much further to the right Tony Blair would have dragged the Labour party.Benn really will be a monumental loss to British politics.

Not wanting to sound like a conspiracy theorist but according to that link two of the directors surnames are Jones!

I think some people were expecting derogatory comments and were ready for a fight. When none materialised they were a little shocked and are now looking for the fight they were expecting to be brought.
-
I would make a comment about the supposedly community minded business ignoring the democratically elected community representatives, going over their heads to get permission for their money making scheme, but this would probably result in much negat…

Perhaps one oak tree in the middle of the green, a great gift to future generations.

I doubt very much it will become 'a playground for millionaire foreigners' although I wouldn't be surprised to see the average 70% of apartments being bought by millionaire foreigners, just that they will never set foot anywhere near them.

As a matter of interest, when large developments like this take place how are neighbours and other local residents notified? Is it the same as with any other planning application? An A4 bit of paper selotaped to a telegraph pole?

If Scotland leaves the Union and HS2 & 3 are completed there will be no second cities, just London with one huge commuter belt.

There seem to be lots of ifs, buts and maybes in the tree experts report. It seems the obvious answer is to leave them be and wait and see. IF they need felling later than it can be discussed then but to fell them now on the off-chance it may need d…

But walking behind two romantic hand holding slow coaches is still going to be quicker than walking all the way around to Fonthill Road to access the tube via the new building. Unless they put an entrance by the fruit stall?
-
Another point with managing agents. It is in their interest to have a high turnover of tenants as they are making huge amounts of money with non-refundable deposits etc weverytime new tenants move in.

Oh how I would love a flat in Highpoint
-
@JoeV You're right, paving over front gardens is an outrage, councils should be doing much more to put a stop to it.
-
Wow! That is a whole heap of cash for what I can only describe is a really shit piece of design. Hell, I'd rather live in the JJ building!
-
I think I may be the opposite, love all the little critters, the humans not so much!
-
So Dion, how (why?) do you differentiate between blackbirds and pigeons?
-
Would on the face of it seem like a good idea and is the sort of thing that the money from the park events should be going towards.

I think New River was man made to supply water to London, I guess it is controlled somewhere.
-
Now classed as a classic rock album apparently - makes me feel old
-
As for building more new homes I do wonder if it really is the answer. Maybe the first thing the Government should be doing is implementing punitive taxes on overseas home buyers and then on third and more domestic home buyers - having a second home…
-
I would agree with @JoeV "tax laws, government subsidies and banking practices play a big part in driving up prices, not only demand" I would also add this though. In reference to the population reaching the peak of 1939, I think it is a lot differ…

The thing is, I don't think it will right itself. As you point out, the housing bubble wasn't allowed to pop. The Government propped it up.Unless the Government do something to deflate the housing market and also encourage businesses (other than the…

I really don't see why we need council owned ghettos at all. In my experience every single 'Council Estate' turns in to a shit hole. Why not sell all existing council owned homes as well as building more homes for general sale then, when people find…
