It was cordoned off when I went past just before 8am. Didn't see any blood, though

Botanical-tastic Green Rooms Botanical Market at Brixton Village, Sun 8th Sept 2019

REJECTED
9-15 Electric Avenue - a five-storey building with basement.
Lambeth Council planning officers had recommended approval of the scheme near Brixton Market, but councillors narrowly voted against the project, arguing its size would be too dominant.
Eric Parry’s ‘overbearing’ Brixton office scheme rejected

Thanks for this.
The fate of EU citizens thread has been covering recent developments.
Fate of EU citizens in the UK post Brexit
This Boris / Priti Patel government look like they are going for No Deal end free movement immediately policy.
Which will leave those from other EU countries living here for some time with a problem.
Under May premiership the idea was for a transition period whilst people applied for the "settled status".
Its looking like this will be ditched if Boris goes for No Deal.
Some EU countries are offering support for their citizens here. Spanish Embassy is.
This is working up to another Windrush.

The idea of the series of articles seems to be to give people an idea of what they should be getting for their monthly rent, I've seen a few rip off landlord places where people had no clue that they were being over charged.
He also says how much monthly bills are which is quite helpful

I didn't understands the water bill bit.
I know many or most people now have a water meter.
It sounds as though this chaps gets a water charge from his landlord apportioned in some way - which most likely does not represent his useage, as he says.
Are there any rules or laws about tenants having the right to separate metering of utilities?

Landlords are not allowed to profit from selling on utilities.
That said, I read it as being Thames Water setting the charge. Like any bill on a meter, the monthly direct debit is based on estimated usage and then adjusted once they have enough actual usage data. It's often inaccurate after occupants change because people's usage can vary so much. And, like any utility company they estimate it on the high side because it is safer for them and they get to sit on your cash for a while. Utilities can be terribly slow to adjust your monthly payments unless you provide them with evidence. Six months of readings should be plenty but lots of people find it too confusing or can't be arsed.

I had to have a new meter installed. Turns out it's a smart meter but had no idea. My daily water consumption is shown on my account. Helpful for the friend I have staying. The friend who spends far too much time in the shower!
