I don't know how one could check to see if they can breathe through a particular mask (before potentially wasting a tenner), unless putting on two thin ones to see how that feels. Any other way? A harsh reality of the times and circumstances in which we find ourselves is that you are right to ask t...

Brand new fake scam arrived in my inbox this afternoon. Looked genuine from the TV Licencing body - but was a fake. Watch out for it. Update Information Required !

Sorry but infections are rising once more in care homes and the nhs as per Kier Stammer`s wife whom is a nurse Pubs are not to blame but tthe lack of hygeine in the general population I worked in the nhs for 40 years and the lack of hygeine amongst nhs staff was atrocious as resulted in rise of MRS...

I have documentary evidence, so can back up everything I have said. The developers have no evidence to back any of their statements, having failed to submit the paperwork. Once more. It was a contractor, not a developer, who did more than just fail to submit one set of paperwork. This entire situat...

An update on testing within the borough. It appeared on the Lewisham site last week, hence one of the dates has passed. Testing in Lewisham If you need a test in Lewisham, you can book an appointment to visit the drive-in or walk-in mobile testing unit or order a home testing kit. Mobile testing uni...

BBC report from today. JD Wetherspoon has said that 66 of its workers have tested positive for the coronavirus but maintains that visiting pubs is safe. The company, which employs more than 41,000 people, said the vast majority of its pubs had recorded no positive tests for the virus. There had been...

In all seriousness - it is regrettable that services appear to have deteriorated to such an appallingly bad level. The Green is our goto local place for phlebotomy services and all through lock-down and up until approximately 10 days ago appointments were readily available and phone queues were mini...

However I don’t see how and why you think Julia will delay the process. Interesting that you have used that phrase. It is fairly certain that nowhere in any of the many posts in this matter has anyone accused Julia of delaying the process. Nor is it inferred that Julia's activities will cause delay...

I have been to all meetings and know that drawing this out any longer will further damage community relations (JRW does not speak for all of Fairlawn Park). Using language like monstrosity doesn’t help either. Few will disagree with your narrative about a hideous monstrosity. Mea culpa - guilty wit...

I feel your post has a rather condescending tone to it. Advisory and respectfully made requests perhaps - but each to their own. Does it really matter on whether it is a swift resolution? We have all been waiting for too long with this hideous monstrosity. I for one would rather wait a little longe...

Received this notification via email about Beckenham Place Park consultation questionnaire, to fill and circulate, from the Ward Assembly co-ordination team today. Consultation on changes to the eastern side of Beckenham Place Park We ran an initial consultation to hear what Lewisham residents and t...

Then 20 minutes later the music stopped. We all sat down. I had no idea that our NHS offered free online games too. Our game of musical chairs at our surgery never got off the ground. Straight through, slots available less than 12 ( number corrected ) hours later - and hey presto - all booked. And ...

This is a valuable commitment from Planning Aid for London and represents a hugely important step, Julia. I contacted Planning Aid for London, and they are currently organising legal advice for the case. This outcome, combined with your status for the purposes of the Inquiry places a very onerous re...

I couldn't agree with you more, JGD, compromise is vital to producing a swift resolution for everybody's sake. The trouble is the Archdiocese has refused to even discuss having discussions, let alone agree to start them. They haven't been willing to consider anything other than doing exactly as the...

That sounds brilliant, thanks Prince. I will try and find them and give it a go. Currently, Lewisham are still refusing to hand over appeal documents, and the planning inspectorate at has ordered them to comply. This is why I'm not going to trust Lewisham to deal with it themselves. The pro-bono ad...

Reports this morning that HMG is giving consideration to cutting the maximum number of people who can lawfully gather indoors in England. The sharp upturn in reported numbers of COVID-19 infections includes 2,948 reported on Monday which is the highest number since 22 May and is causing grave concer...

Good tip Julia - thank you.

Will try it soonest - does it work on both council planning sites I wonder ?

Still think both councils need to step up and demand that they have master plans presented to them from All providers that show every proposed monopole installations.

But if they want a scrap, I wish they'd go and have it behind the bike sheds or somewhere. I, and I suspect others, really don't want to have to watch their mudslinging here. It brings the forum into disrepute. First there is no hate on Stuart's part. And for those many who know him, that fact will...

I just wondered how Lewisham consider environmental issues when approving these developments. Closing off high value roads under the guise of COVID whilst reports on poor air quality around our schools seems to be brushed under the carpet. I do not see any real regeneration in Sydenham, lots of tal...

Really ? With specific acknowledgement to RubyE and her respectfully expressed views, I had planned to go radio silent for a little time. Mr Beach watches posts on here and tests the water with volatile expressions made in a diminutive fashion that should not and cannot go without remark. https://xu...
