Gaz, please go back to the top of this page and the current situation about the Greyhound may become clearer. There are also 8 pages of comments about the premature closure of the pub further down the Town Hall thread which might give you some background as to where, and why, we we are where we are....

Let us all - the local conmmunity and the developers - have a bit of time to digest what has happened; we all need time to take breath and think about where we go from here. The developers need to feel the community wants to go forward and work positively with them. Let us, as a community, give them...

I'm concerned about the potential loss of an important building at Cobbs Corner - a landmark building, which has been there since 1874, within which is a beautiful tiled entrance hall, with mosaic floor and lantern ceiling and a carved relief which states the building is the Greyound Hotel, and whic...

Maturin, let's get some facts right. One hundred amd sixty letters? Surely it was 183, as well as 2 petitions, one with 322 signatures and another with 85, although Lambeth acknowledged ( in all fairness) some signatories may have signed both petitions? Letters of (reasons for) objections fell into ...

In a free and open discussion everyone should be able to state their views and expect to have them respected, even by those who may strongly disagree. Those who have not come to a decision should be able to listen to well reasoned debate from all sides in order to make up their own minds. The proble...

I stand corrected - I was only thinking about the central transcept - User 100, you are right the original Crystal Palace was a galleried building. It also was, as you say, short of capital to fund itself and then short of revenue to sustain itself - something those should consider who want to rebui...

Entertainment aside - the Royal Albert Hall and St Paul's Cathedral are not multistoried either! Building even a one third size of the original Crystal Palace (which I believe is the idea put forward) on the highest ridge of south London would have some impact I would suggest. Apart from dominating ...

Further to the above The start of Friday night's meeting began with an almost uninterrupted presentation - the total mayhem came later. We were told the LDA has been talking to the One o' Clock club whose dated facilities need refurbishment (no capital here from Bromley). If the land was used for ho...

Well, I wonder how many ordinary local residents went along to the meeting last night to listen (not much else they could do) to rentamob with their (quite reasonable) position regarding concerns about housing being built on the perimeter of the park, who literally hijacked the meeting and shouted d...

Savvy, would that all buy-to-let owners are like you, live locally and care! Unfortunately many do not. One of the houses in the terrace I referred to even became a cannabis factory - the very quiet tenants who chose to keep themselves to themselves. Another house was for a long time let to (ever-ch...

Can I add another sore point about neighbouring properties spoiling the environment for others? Close by where I live there are 5 terraced houses, but only two are owner-occupied - the other three are buy-to-lets. Not only does this mean that often the permanent residents dont get to know their neig...

Most shop freeholders are happy to jump at the chance to have a betting shop or estate agent come knocking at the door of an empty retail unit. This equals long term business and therefore less problem with long term leases. Pound shops, nail bars, hairdressers come and go - easy to fit minimal shop...
