Re: Glassmills tower new plans

The developers have been distributing leaflets talking about their contribution to affordable housing (which is likely to be not much) while being coy about the height of the building, in order to get positive comments in the consultation.  There's also speculation that they expect the Mayor's offic...

Re: Food waste collections for all in Wandsworth

Last spring we house sat for two months for friends in Wimbledon where they have food waste collection.  It was easy to do; the bins used by Wimbledon are not overly big; there were no problems at all with foxes or food waste strewn on the street.

Re: Who else feels outraged about what councils have done to Wandsworth Bridge Rd and Streatham  High Rd

I'm not opposed to LTNs  in principle.  Many of them work very well.  I am irritated that H&F have made it  nearly impossible for anyone travelling eastward on the M4/A4 to cross over to Wandsworth.  Now that all the side streets are a no-go, why can they not allow cars to turn right to go south...

Re: Which new bar to All Bar One empty slot in MArch?

Whatever their target audience, the Northcote Road isn't in Clapham; it's in Battersea.  They could call it Clapham Junction rather than Clapham and save the target audience the bother of ending up on Clapham High Street, a long way from the Red Setter

Re: Daughter wants to dye dog

It would also be a good time to have a conversation about sources of information and how to decide which ones to trust.

Re: Human Being Diet or Intermittent Fasting

In 2015, my husband decided to try the 5:2 Fast.  Initially unenthusiastic and promising only spousal level of support (you know -- not eating cake & ice cream in front of him on a fast day), after reading Michael Mosely and Mimi Spencer's book The Fast Diet, I decided to give a go, too.  The fa...

Re: Husband won't wear helmet on electric bike

He should wear a helmet.  Doesn't matter what kind of bike or what speed.  Just get into the habit of wearing a helmet and it won't feel uncomfortable or awkward any more.  Possibly drivers are more careful around men not wearing helmets, but not bymuch.  More likely that wearing a helmet will make ...

Re: Is having a 'bump' o a class night out usual?

Nice middle class parents with their little pick-me-ups -- apparently simply don't care about the havoc created by the drugs here and in all the countries from which those drugs come.  Senseless, thoughtless, selfish.

Re: Sushi Shop is coming to Clapham!

That's great news.  Now, how do we get the same message across to the people who are about to open as Timber Windows OF CLAPHAM, also on the Northcote Road.

Re: University Fees and cost

If you're able to put money aside, do so.  My parents had saved some, but not nearly enough.  I paid for half the total cost (including living expenses and travel back and forth).  In addition to taking out loans, this meant I always worked part time during the school year and full time during the s...

Re: Further Restrictions for Traffic on Wandsworth Bridge / Wandsworth Bridge Road - A Nightmare for Wandsworth Resident

If Hammersmith & Fulham want to keep traffic off the smaller residential streets, isn't it time to let eastbound traffic on the King's Road turn right directly onto Wandsworth Bridge Road?  If this were permitted, the problem would be much reduced.

Wherever the money from the fines goes, too many drivers go far too fast.

Re: All council penalties and fines from traffic paid directly to the central government!

Why would you do this?  Central government push all kinds of responsibility on to the Councils, then slash funding to local governments and cap the amount local governments are allowed to raise through, e.g., council tax.

Re: SW11 car fines from a local cyclist's camera

I only wish that everyone using the roads would give more attention to the safety of others and abide by the principal of the less vulnerable giving greater priority to the more vulnerable. Too many drivers don't realise (or don't care) how dangerous it is for the cyclist when they pass them (coming...
