I agree with you John about awards.  They should go to people who give public service for little or no reward, not to those who have had their snouts deeply in the trough being generously remunerated and then given an award for doing the job they were ... more »

Ray, During my 40 odd years at work, I’ve met and have worked with some great people. Many of these people have worked unstintingly for others, with no thought of a reward or honour. They just did their job and helped others along the way. Most of ... more »

Contact your local councillors, particularly any Resident Association ones. I've always found them quite helpful and they should be in a position to find out what is going on in their own or neighbouring wards. Also, I believe they are all up for ... more »

I believe, though I could be wrong, that one of our RA councillors abstained from the vote against the first homeless hostel on Southend Road. The main problem is that even if our councillors vote against something, the rest will vote for it to ... more »

My opinion is that the buildings on site are not fit for purpose and a new building needs to be erected for the future.  However my main concern is that are selling all the land when I believe they should keep some land in reserve for contingency for any ... more »

Ray, any news on the campaign?  Would English Heritage be interested?  There's a hospital site in Woolwich which was redeveloped (although some years ago now), and although you're looking at a retirement rather than a luxury development for St George's, ... more »

It'll be good to slow down the traffic and maybe deter drivers from using the high street. However, I reckon that drivers will park on the pavement to go to the cash points and destroy the paving blocks. Still appears to be a kerb. Not dissimilar to ... more »

Unfortunately, they aren't "regenerating" the bit from Billet Lane traffic lights up to Abbs Cross Lane though.  Shame, as that pavement could really do with some attention.  Will also make the High Street look a bit unfinished.  Still think removing the ... more »
