Re: Football club recommendations?

Broomwood FC is a good starting point and not too expensive - can be a waiting list though.

Re: The new £3.9m Food waste collections - a massive cost to the taxpayer, this is how to return your bins to the counci

Some interesting comments and that's what the post was about. I feel if you really want to make bigger impacts in reducing waste,  you have to go back up the chain, especially to the supermarkets. Removing the free plastic bags was a great move, it was obscene the numbers that were used, most going ...

Re: Can I approach my ex MIL for son's non payment of school fees

With the way private schools have been putting up fees by 8%+ recently (the School Governors are really hacking off alot of parents), maybe its time the children found other schools ? Its not a right to go to private school. and of course , you will only rack up lots of cost by using lawyers - is th...

https://wandsworth.gov.uk/news/news-march-2024/food-waste-collections-for-all/ With the Council now starting this crazy waste of money scheme for food waste, there is a way to return the bucket that you probably won’t use. Do you know how much this scheme costs ? £3.9m to set up and £1.18m extra a y...

Re: Food waste collections for all in Wandsworth

The climate always changes, up and down. But if you have just accepted the narrative, you may want to do some research on the climate scam - don’t blindly accept all these policies on Climate. Question them - start with a Twitter search on #climatescam and see what you find. The control of people (L...

Re: Food waste collections for all in Wandsworth

This is so not wanted by the majority and another outrageous waste of taxpayers money by the new Labour council. (My new bin will to straight to the tip) Look at the cost from a Freedom of Information request (and it’s not just a one off cost) :- The set up cost of this scheme is £3.8m The annual co...

Re: New 20mph zone on the A205?

What a lot of fuss over nothing. Set off a wee bit earlier if it’s such an issue to you. If family or friends are worth a visit, a few extra minutes onto a journey should add to the anticipation of the get together. We all know lower speeds mean safer roads. Even drivers, motorcyclists and cyclists...

Re: Closing the Children's Cancer Unit at St George's Hospital

The NHS needs a massive change - way too expensive and inefficient for the taxpayer now.  Thinking its a vote winner to keep ploughing more money in, without looking at better options, is very naive. https://www.statista.com/statistics/472940/public-health-spending-united-kingdom-uk/ A political pos...

Re: Action plan to improve road safety for children attending schools in Balham

Wow, it was chaos this afternoon in Balham, with cars from Chestnut Grove blocking Balham High Road when I crossed. Who designed this mess ? 

Spoke to the man in the camera car, just warning letters issued this week and last, he thought that might change next week to fines.

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

We all know why councils do this, to fleece the motorists with Fines. The East side of Wandsworth Bridge Road has a camera on Imperial way. Many of us know it well as it issued £3.5m in fines to drivers a year ago. That’s just one location. The clueless Labour Hammersmith council need that money to ...

Re: Roofer recommendation near Wimbledon

I would be careful of asking Paul Strank for a quote. Rang then today and they said it would be April for the appointment … unless, magically an earlier appointment would come available if I paid for it !  Why would anyone pay for appointments, when they could make just make a living out of high quo...

Re: What Wandworth council won’t tell you when they say they are freezing next years council tax…

I don’t really care who runs Wandsworth, I am mainly concerned that our money isn’t wasted and at the moment I feel the Labour council are like one of our children in a sweet shop, with lots of money in their pocket. As most people understand, it’s easy to spend, just not as easy to pay for the spen...

What Wandworth council won’t tell you when they say they are freezing next years council tax…

As we know, Labour are now running our Council. We read this week in the Council press release, that council tax is being frozen for next year. Great news we all might think…  but, =#ebeaddWBC had something of a windfall from the government, but that hasn't stopped them from adding 2% to council tax...

Re: Whitgift & child safety

As people keep voting for the terrible Labour Mayor, Khan, knife crime and mugging won’t stop. 

Croydon and the nearby areas are not nice places for the young kids to commute through. They will definitely see things that scare them, on and off the public transport.
