Maybe but there is the compensatory figure of eight P5 diversion - albeit with modern hybrid buses.

Weird colours- for a moment I thought it was the work of one of those 3-D optical illusion crayon artists...

Given the growing levels of insta-hungry tourists and the continuing promotion of Brixton as a 'destination' it surely can't be long before those artists arrive.

I really love that they have zero taste. The absolute state of that kitchen clock.

seems to have been shots fired, hence the helicopter with the SPG (or whatever they call themselves now) plus shed loads of riot style police (at least 18) could be a long hot night

it's so fucking depressing. If I - and my fellow residents - can work out that violence will happen if they don't stop these gatherings, why don't the police do something?

I'm so sorry to hear this, it must be awful for residents, especially the elderly and those with kids.

was only saying to my neighbour that the weather conditions are perfect for trouble kicking off, when I heard the loud ranting figured there was a good possibility. Quite how they're going to get control after allowing it to go on for so long without being heavy handed and inflaming the situation I have no idea, don't think it will end well

I was sat outside a bar in Coldharbour Lane and you could see people streaming down to the Barrier Block party. Put together warm weather + shitloads of booze + loud soundsystem + no security + gangs + all that post code turf wars shit, and you've got the perfect storm lined up.

Is there any further news from Shane and Sophie on how they are getting on with the sale of their dream house in Coldharbour Lane?
‘We saw the neighbourhood as a more flavoursome Notting Hill’
‘There are a lot of real characters around, and we were drawn to the place by the constant vibrant, bank holiday weekend feel, and the global cuisine on offer. Plus, we knew the area was on the up.’

The racists and the right wing are out in force on Twitter and Facebook trying to blame this on Sadiq Khan , while the anti-LTN loons are trying to make capital out of it too. So many people wanting to make it about their own shitty cause but few apparently wanting to deal with the actual issues.
Various news & police sources online claiming the police were “attacked by a mob throwing bottles and bricks” but I can’t see any evidence of this. Has anyone else?

I did hear that locally - but not verified - but it wouldn't surprise me, to be honest.

Yeah, I heard the same from friends who live next door. I hate it, it gives ammunition (excuse the pun) to the more vile side of our society.

So even if they don't sell they can at least spend their evenings in peaceful cultural pursuits. Home | The Junction

Shakespeare Road is open to emergency services.
Whilst their are reasons to criticise LTNs going on about it trying to relate it to any news issue around here is getting ludicrous.

I wondered what all that was about. Being partially deaf and having double glazing all I saw was flashing lights and police vans doing 3 point turns.

The met police put out a statement saying there were no officer injuries but that “objects” had been thrown. Could have been anything I guess.
