...and now the head of Lambeth Planning responsible for the change of policy has fucked off back to Camden where he came from only a year or so ago.

Thats how to get things through - bring in a new broom who doesn't know anything about the area - the let him go when the place is wrecked (remember the Canterbury Arms for example?)

Talking to an acquaintance on Saturday at the "Stand Up to Lambeth Council" march, who reckoned that said fucker-offer did so because "I can't work with these idiots!", meaning the council officers, the planning committee, and interfering councillors making unhelpful "suggestions".

You are the one going on about the importance of access for all - the importance of access for disabled people.

Its not me taking this to bonkers level its you.

The logical conclusion of your views is that the road needs to be redesigned.

It could be that the conspiracy rag Brixton Buzz article made the Council think again.

Yes, the logical conclusion of my views is that many roads need to be redesigned. That's why I support the schemes for pedestrianisation and so on that many on here seem to want to oppose. But those views exist in the real world where such a thing is not going to happen overnight. So, in the meantime we do the best with what's there. And that means keeping pavements clear so that they are accessible to as many people as possible.

Yes, it could be that BB made the council think again.

I don't know about that, but the few times I heard his responses at planning committees he seemed to be - usually - what Private Eye calls "Fundamentally Supine" with respect to development proposals. He seemed to be mellowing and getting into the obstructive Lambeth way just before the end, however.

Maybe he'd already resigned by then and was just going with the flow?

When you posted your view I initially thought you were wrong. Mainly because I really enjoy that street particular furniture. But then you explained your position and on consideration I saw you were correct. Not sure why some posters on here can't also see that. I suspect it's because no matter what the council do they are wrong and also just because it's you making the point.

It's great if you want a quiet meal - there's never anyone in there. Literally. I've been in a couple of times when me & my companion had the entire place to ourselves.

Probably doesn't say much for the food though....:eek:

Someone mentioned recently on here that Rosie was shutting up here, but keeping Peckham.

Looks like the Brixton shop is within a limited company

ROSIE'S DELI CAFE LIMITED - Filing history (free information from Companies House)

so I guess she could try withholding wages due - but this doesn't go down too well with DWP. If DWP are intelligent (doubtful) they might make a claim against the Peckham branch, as doubtless the (business) people would be the same.

Impossible to say from the paperwork what was going on as since Gordon Brown liberalised all the rules with small businesses 15 years ago nobody has to declare anything any more for that size of company - except that they are a director.

What a cunt.

And she's just had her second child. Plus her husband is a DJ whose income may have been dented by the trend to shut down clubs in London.

That's the Brazas family and they are absolutely lovely. I might even venture out to Croydon to support them for their opening - I hope they do well.

I'm not sure if I could face a Croydon BoxPark experience. The one on my doorstep is soulless enough.

I liked this post because the candid revelation of self restraint when you thought teuchter was in the wrong being juxtaposed with the smear of partisanship against ' 'some posters' in the latter part of your message was amusing in an ironic sense.......

I don't know her either - but it sounds like she's pulling a fast one. People shouldn't be able to walk away like that owing staff\creditors money...you see it all the time.

She's tweeting away like a goodun though - I hope she is paying her Peckham staff...
