It’s owned by a small family firm. The refurbishment was paid for by lottery money & a grant from the council

My perusal of the papers associated with Reliance Arcade in the Lambeth 0n-line planning database suggests a company called South Coast Furnishing Ltd - a strange association, as they seem to have business in Farnham and Eastleigh and Portsmouth, yet their accounts are done in St Ives, Cambrigeshire.

Can you throw any light on this? You speak with the voice of assurance.

What is strange about that? It is very common to have your accounts done by a firm that is not in your locality.

Nothing unusual. Why my folks moved to Cornwall my old man - who is an accountant - continued to do the accounts of companies and individuals all over the UK

Actually you raise a point. There aren't any noted accountants in Brixton now AFAIK.
Back in the day when Lambeth Social Services used to shell out millions to the charity sector their favourite accountants/auditors were Leroy Reid - who I think used to be at the Herne Hill end of Railton Road.
Even that firm has now decamped to deepest Streatham.

I put it down to the council's absurd 24 hour economy - introduced in 1994 and going strong ever since. What small accountancy firm can compete with bars and diners? Certainly not when it comes to vomitting on the pavement!

Earlier today, the Crown Prosecution Service issued the following statement concerning the murder of Solomon Small in Corrance Road:

"A student who fist-bumped his victim before stabbing him repeatedly has been found guilty of murder.

Eighteen-year-old Solomon Small was stabbed to death outside a friend’s home in Brixton.

His attacker, a 17-year-old from Lambeth, cannot be named for legal reasons. Today, (Tuesday, 10 March), the youth was found guilty of murder following a trial at Woolwich Crown Court.

The defendant had seen Solomon shopping in the Brixton area with his friend’s girlfriend on the afternoon of 15 August 2019. He followed the pair around Brixton as they went to the shops and a cafe.

The youth also greeted Solomon during this time. His female acquaintance said that the boys seemed friendly as they ‘spudded’, or fist-bumped, each other. The defendant continued to follow the pair until they met outside the house of one of Solomon’s friend.

Moments before the attack, the victim had used his female friend’s phone to call her boyfriend. He had told him that the youth was following them, and that he was going to a friend’s house.

As the pair reached closer to the house, the youth appeared, pulling out a knife he lashed out at Solomon, stabbing him at least six times in front of his female friend.

Angela Moriarty, from the CPS, said: “This was a brutal attack on a teenager on a residential street in the middle of the afternoon.

“Members of the public ran to help the victim, hearing his friend’s screams for help. It was at that moment that the youth fled the scene.

“Solomon was the victim of a violent and unprovoked attack. The verdict in this case today will mean that this killer will be held accountable for his actions that have caused considerable pain and loss to Solomon’s family and friends, who are very much in our thoughts.”

Sentencing will take place at Woolwich Crown Court on 9 April.

Went to see the new fibre broadband people. Seemed ok. They will be slowly rolling out across Brixton Hill/Cold harbour and bits of Tulse Hill but it will be street by street so may take some time to get to everyone.

Any maps or anything ?
 
The council is thinking about making the stretch of Electric Lane next to Market House one way, because so many pedestrians have been hit by cars there. (I'm one, but I didn't report it so the official figure is on the low side.) Seems to me that a major cause is drivers who are high. I've seen them trying to park and manoeuvre, they're all over the place. The guy who hit me was off his face. They just don't give a fuck. The risk of being stopped by Plod is almost zero. There's a permanent cloud of weed stink everywhere you go. I wonder if the penny will ever drop around here that there's a link between high strength weed and young black males in Lambeth having pretty much the highest incidence of psychotic illness in Europe? The NHS knows about it, but you have to read the Guardian very closely to find out.

It seems to me that, rightly or wrongly, there is less of a stigma to smoking pot and then driving than there is to drinking and driving. The police don't seem to care about anything to do with driving. Cameras should pick you up if you are doing anything wrong. Police don't patrol any more. They get sent from job to job to job. If you haven't phoned 999 and they haven't been dispatched to you, then the chances of them intervening in casual law breaking are minimal.
