Article on new Brixton Theatre & Hondo Tower in the Observer today.

Not a bad piece but shame it doesn’t mention how the development meant everyone who lived in Carlton Mansions was forced to move out by Lambeth.

To be fair to Oval House they had approached us some time before when they were looking for Sites. Did have "gentleman's" agreement we would move out when building was needed.

Oval House did take the trouble to contact us.

It was the Council who decided to get us all out. A part of Council had been trying unsuccessfully for years to do so. Stopped by our good relations with local Cllr (Rachel).

The murderer of the quad bike rider in a music video has admitted his guilt. Remanded for psychiatric reports. Teen admits killing man, 23, by stabbing him in the heart outside Tube station
I think he'll be looking forward to a long stretch at Her Majesty's pleasure.
Armed with a ‘big knife’, Brandon McNeil ran towards Mr. Jerome and stabbed him in the chest, piercing him through the heart.

The Old Bailey heard that he also bladed a second man on a quad bike that was also part of the convoy near Brixton tube station.

Despite efforts to save him, Jerome, from Thornton Heath, south London, was pronounced dead at the scene in July last year.

McNeil was identified by the palm print he left on the green Lamborghini and police later recovered “more than one large zombie-style knife” from his home.
 
I'm very much in favour of kink - by consenting adults in private. I find the use of brixton market in the daytime as a film set is really irrating. Those just passing by didn't give consent to be filmed.

Did you listen to the soundtrack? People clearly bemused if not shocked.

Good to be updated - but it would be nice to hear what defence or mitigation was offered.
I guess many residents in Peckford Place had had enough, or the policed would not have been there.
I think there was a helicopter watching?
