Live music venues being changed into churches - there's an indicator of a neighbourhood going down the drain.

I hope the church is a noisy one and really annoys all the people who complained about the Telegraph.

Are you talking about AJ? :D
 
Whether it's a pub, a church, a cafe or just a person, excessive noise and disruption at antisocial times is all the same to me, and if they start having all night meetings with people coming and going at all hours, then I shall respond exactly the same as if it was a pub with live music.

In the same way that I'm concerned about the Islamic centre next door, have either got the proper planning permission for change of use into a "place of worship"? I don't recall seeing or hearing about any applications going through.

We had this discussion in another thread. A "community centre" that just happens to have prayer mats isn't necessarily a "place of workship".

In fact, you'll find lots Government buildings/large organisations now have prayer rooms
 
a Councillor in Brixton - Rachel Heywood - (is she a councillor?) has been tweeting about a shop in Brixton selling 'virginity soap' claiming it 'restores virginity if used in intimate areas' she is appalled by this

No but she's had some interesting tweets this morning about her trip out with Trading standards...fake Bollinger. placenta hair conditioner:eek:
 
It's like she's never been to a market before...

Part of #lambeth24 apparently - with Councillors shadowing Council Staff and services...

Parking is going to be a joy.
 
A group of local businessowners has organised an I Love Brixton event in Windrush square tomorrow (Saturday). I'm told an exciting installation of some sort will be arriving, and there'll be music and other stuff happening from 12pm:

  • 12pm Kinetica Bloco - a 50 youth marching band parade to Windrush Square from the Peace Gardens.
  • 2.30pm Choir and acoustic performance.
  • 5.00 pm Yaaba Funk on the Square

Marks and Spencer has now decided it trusts Brixton residents enough to give them self-service tills.

When did that happen?

We've had two break-ins in our block on Brixton Hill in the last week. FYI.

We had a couple of attempted break-ins on our block on the hill too - smashed up entry systems trying to get into the blocks - looked pretty determined...

Someone had managed to break the glass in the communal door. I don't know anything about the other burglary other than it was in the past week.

Blimey. Seem pretty determined then and quite bold. You'd think with that many flats someone would hear them breaking the communal door

I hope you're keeping your little living room window locked :hmm:
