Still there but now without its hat.

Haha..... Just out interest CH1 do you know where I can find the outcome of licensing applications online ?
In my experience the best option is searching @LBLDemocracy on Twitter.
They usually give the committee results out as they are made on the night.
The tweets seem to stay there for weeks.

Not sure if its an officers decision - presumably you need to ferret around on the website (or ring up).
 
No, second although that was largely down to my old man. I think we'd have been comfortably mid pack without him. Would definitely go back.

Was really busy in there too, more than I expected.

They've started showing football in the front room which I quite liked.
 
The flytipping on New Park Rd has gone! Two months after we initially reported it (and we reported it three times since then). Three days after I posted a photo of it on Twitter, and Brixton Buzz retweeted it to their 14,000+ followers, it's gone! What a coincidence! [emoji6]

Thankyou, Brixton Buzz.

Yay!

The fly tipping on our street has been removed twice, but keeps coming back. Anti-social twats. :mad:
 
Well, I've reported the flytipping on our street (Doverfield Rd) four times to Lambeth Council since mid December. Still, they do nothing, despite my emails copying Chuka in. So I've given up on communicating with them directly, and am taking it to Twitter. You can see from this photo that wheelchair users have to go into the road in order to pass this pile of crap.
Furthermore, on a walk to Streatham last week, I counted 5 double mattresses and a fridge on my way to Dr Dolittle's.

Bit late picking up on this. Lambeth Council Scrutiny has some interesting ideas on tackling fly-tipping. One of them is to leave items in the street for longer, in the hope that fly-tippers might see the error of their ways:

"“Collecting fly tips less frequently will support the delivery of this community message, by allowing the perpetrator to understand the impact of their behaviour.”

:facepalm:

Because they obviously live on the street they're littering. Fuck's sake. :facepalm:
 
fly tipping, a major and disgraceful crime imo, could easily be cracked down on by just putting some council workers/coppers in a survalance car in the areas that get dumped on over and over.

i'd love to see fly tippers get long sentances. they have ruined many parts of my area. i have to steer my daughter around piss soaked mattresses, or split open fetid bin bags. they act like animals, not human beings. i could rustle together a little firm quite easily and i've often thought about "taking the law into my own hands" with these fuckers who do it time and time on our once lovely street.

That is really quite outstanding.

Reminds me of when the now head of environmental services attended a council meeting to argue against extra measures to clean our street. He accepted it was dire but argued that no action should be taken and as evidence presented handwritten letters from two residents saying that they liked the mess because it "reminded them of home". As he started reading them he was interrupted by a councillor who said "Sorry Jamie, do you really expect us to take this argument seriously?"
