There's a huge carpark next to it - I'd have thought that the two would be a prime development site.
-
This plan seems well put together - and addresses historic gaps in provision - there are huge areas with no cycling infrastructure at all. The LTN in Stroud Green will make east-west journeys much longer: The parks and railway line already a huge b…

Still missing stuff from between xmas and New Year. I assume everyone else's delivery office is the one in Tuffnal Park too?
-
I'm curious to know how this is intended to happen without causing a great deal of disruption to existing lessees. I imagine your flat will be uninhabitable whilst this takes place.

A rotten borough is what you get when there's been no change of political control in the entire existence of the council.

@Ali: Given that the store can't even get its own staff to use masks correctly (they're not exempt as a mask is present round their neck...), what chance is there of them getting the public to follow the one-way system?
-
I've just returned from a visit. I noted no fewer than four members staff (or 'colleagues' as Tesco prefers to call them) with either no face covering or one worn incorrectly. If there was a message from head-office, it's certainly not reached th…

@Patso probably also not a good idea - not least because it's unlit with an unmade surface. It's also the local crime superhighway.

The off-license at the bottom end of Stroud Green road across from Sainsbury's also has a huge range of beer.

https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=18.166666666666668&lat=51.56871&lon=-0.11229&layers=170&b=9 Suggests a dairy depot at the front and laundry at the rear. Earlier maps show a school. Neither were as wide as the current fronta…

Indeed - it may well be that communal spaces inside the building are out of bounds. Nonetheless, there were a significant number of local residents disturbed by this. Just wait until they all get locked down as is almost inevitable.
-
And... another impromptu street party tonight - with about 25 students. This time the Police attended to break it up.
-
last week's was only 2 days late, rather than a week or more. Perhaps progress?
-
Likewise with Finsbury Cycles yesterday. People ahead buying bikes, so a long wait - I aborted. They weren't open last Sunday when I tried to visit despite what the website says.
-
and what is in the backlog of undelivered mail. Some communication wouldn't go amiss, but the last time I looked their website had no local details - just trumping their contract to deliver test-kits.
-
I'm sure they are: Looks as though Royal Mail was woefully unprepared. I also have a tracked 48h package which has been 'on the way to the local distribution office' since Tuesday. In last night's government briefing, Matt Hancock thanked Yodel …
-
I received some mail today that I know was posted on the 13th March. Royal Mail must be getting to some of the oldest sacks in their backlog. Impressive. #RoyalFail

@LukeG the alternatives to Leasehold will all still require owners of flats in blocks to share the cost of capital works. They might get more say in the selection of contractors. It might also mean they don't actually happen at all.
-
@HolbornFox Unsworth Rose. I got a recommendation from somebody else in the street doing precisely the same. I think they earned their fee.
-
Tonights action at the station which unfolded just as I was about to walk past: A huge fight with a crowd of 15 youths watching and some cheering on - in the location where youths regularly congregate to smoke skunk. One knocked unconscious, left…
-
@LukeG I think the landlords of that building have a lot to answer for: The door has been broken for absolutely ages. There is also a problem of some residents dumping their rubbish outside the bin-store on the pavement. There are regular rubbis…
-
@krappyrubsnif It did eventually get enforced - LBI put up a camera or this express purpose - ironically, it's on a pole with anti-climbing spikes just outside the taxi office, positioned for a great view of anti-social behaviour under the bridge, b…

Just think: * Ignoring a temporary road sign can be punished with 3 points and a fine; if you claim to have not seen it, that's driving without due care and attention - also three points and a fine. Given that there was a barrier across the road, t…

I had a look this evening - steady stream of food delivery couriers flouting the law on SGR, including one using the cycle lane. What's clearly apparent with other traffic absent is just how many of them there are, resulting in both noise and poll…

In many North London constituencies, the Labour party could stick a red rosette on a multi-orifice blow-up sheep sex-doll and still stand a good chance of winning. In Islington South, however, Emily Thornberry is clearly rattled.
-
I suspect the dog unit is out in the park.
-
@Peter Crumb That chimes with what I've observed too - I suspect these projects are not tightly managed, so they just simply leave the scaffold up and eventually somebody will come and do the work.
-
@LukeG Islington (and probably other Councils) operate like this too. One of my neighbours - a leaseholder in a flat where LBI own the freehold - got charged some crazy amount of money towards a site compound for cyclical improvement works when all…

They are likely to take a far harder line on vagrancy and to have full time security to enforce it.

It is indeed. I was walking past as the opening night was going on and had a peek in. Seems the entire ground floor of the building has been stripped out - back to the concrete frame. It's a vast space.
