Thames Water - destroying our new pavements

Thames Water phoned me on 27/04/16 to tell me that my complaint about the poor repair to the lay-by outside Kente ... has been 'escalated'. They have promised an update as soon as possible. I will give them a few days before I make a formal complaint to the Consumer Council for Water. Nothing furth...

What happened to the so-called Piaza

I just thought that it might have been redeveloped as part of the High Street regeneration. Now, we just have a vacant piece of land with hoardings that have seen better days. It would be good to see it as a small market square instead of the small piaza opposite the railway station. I'm afraid it'...

#RebuildTheGreyhound - pub to be rebuilt by April 2015?

Is there any known news re the occupier of the Greyhound? I believe (from previous comments) that there was due to be a review of proposals by end of April, so as to choose an occupier by end of this month (if I have understood correctly). You're right to say that Purelake were using this month, i....

What happened to the so-called Piaza

I was wondering after the redevelopment of the High Street there were plans for a small piaza between Paperchase Taxation and the Shirin Cafe. So what's happened? It is one of the eyesores on the high street and it would be a great place for the Farmers Market and other pop up events. I don't think...

Does anyone know who was responsible for digging up and then bitumining the section of pavement near Fresh and Fruity on the opposite side of Sydenham Road from Kente too? Would like to follow up on that one too, but no idea who caused the damage in the first place... The Fresh and Fruity one is I ...

I've just had a call from a Thames Water.representative. She advised me that Thames Water is unable to complete the repair to the lay-by outside Kente cafe because Lewisham Council is refusing to issue a permit. I will take this up with officers at Lewisham Council and local councillors. Lewisham C...
