Notice was given in last Friday’s Recorder (not obvious to most of us thumbing through the paper) that Havering Council is appropriating the Old Windmill Hall site together with the park car park and adjacent areas of the park, the intention being to ... more »

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 »

Hi Maria, Can i just advise on the subject of cost. Some of the cheap ones are appalling quality, and are so paper thin. They are not worth bothering with. If you do find one make sure the roof felt is in good condition. You will need a friend with a ... more »

CCG Consultation on St George's Hospital

A creditable turnout from Streetlife members tonight.  Thanks to you all.  In summary where we seem to be is that the Council has rejected a proposal to set a planning framework context for the site, or to seek any heritage protection for the site, ... 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 »

quite often it will be out looking for canabis factories set up in houses they use the thermal camera to see  which houses are letting out extreme heat compared to other surrounding houses
John B
Interesting Steve, The Town hall must show up like a thermal flair all the hot air that it produces. Infact should they not be Green taxed on there misuse use of energy.
