Re: Is Sir Steve Bullock a crook

Lewisham's structure of a powerful executive in an elected mayor (Chosen by Lewisham labour party members only) and the fact it is a one party "state" in local government means it is poorly scrutinised and is in some ways effectively a local government dictatorship. It seems to me most cou...

So I was in Clapham North getting my MOT done.

On closer inspection i saw it was made on my street, by Waynes of Newlands Park. I wonder if a...

Re: Fox Cubs -Sydenham Road / Newlands Park

It might be something to do with having been brought up in a village with an active beagle pack and being completely unsentimental about wildlife, but it always amazes me when I encounter sentimental gushing about vermin. Do people feel the same way about rats? In those days, we used to send the te...

Re: Added value gardening

What matters to a developer is maximising the £ per square foot out of a site. Green spaces are well down on the list of priorities and often are just an after thought for the sake of the glossy brochures. Too much green space will create either high service charges for prospective purchasers or on ...

Re: Added value gardening

I think there is an interesting debate to be had on the social and environmental value green spaces both private and public bring to a community and the ways it's economic worth is recognised and supported.

Re: OT: Petition to save Beckenham Place Park public golf co

The reason the park was established was for the use of the residents of the cottage estates in Bellingham and Downham.I doubt that now very many of those residents use the park south of the railway line that disects it.
