You can burn smokeless wood legally in london so long as it’s installed by professional installers it’s fine.. ..but it still stinks the entire road out when we have low or no winds . Some d#c...

Re: The Moped crash scam - has your Car been crashed into yet ?

Happening loads. 3 of them in 1 day on the same stretch of road. Same MO, they target old people & mothers as they exit a junction . They sit near a junction and then just ram into you or they drive around looking for people. Deliberately ramming their scooter into you , causing damage and causi...

Re: Rough sleepers hub and hostel opposite Battersea Arts Centre, Lavender Hill

There is a nursery literally next door to this proposed facility . Putting these two vulnerable groups next to each other is a huge safeguarding issue.
