I am filled with genuine dread about the next bit, like the next couple of years when Higgs plus all the other massive developments are being built.

Dirty stopout maybe? A room for after your date at the village ?
Interesting this bit of the network rail glossies
The "unique character" of Brixton? How much of that will be left after they've gentrified the f**k out of it?
During the consultation last year I learned that businesses on the Lilford Industrial Estate had not received leaflets from Lambeth. Neither had Pullman Garge and they have been very active in the anti movement throughout because of their worries over loss of trade.
I tried to contact the owners of the Paulet Industrial Estate. They didn't seem worried as it was not their problem but their tenants were not consulted either. The NHS dialysis unit there were most upset when the experiment started causing delays to patients and staff.

Have you seen The Village ? (next door to the new hotel) It's like a totes amazing place to come for an edgy culturally diverse dinner date, if you actually live in Hertfordshire or something. I don't know who else will use the hotel.

I might actually ask the Chartwell guy. If I can find his contact details.
He was v. friendly when I was casing out the site of the new house he put next to the entrance when the planning application went in. For all that he was buttering me up I was amazed to see recently that he has replicated the style of the terrace down to detail. You don't often get developers making their architecture blend in with their surroundings these days. At least not in Lambeth. Paulet Road/Chartwell Industrial Estate

The owner said MI5 had had an office in there. Amazing what the government had to do before GCHQ just went on Urban75!
Well he hadn't been told a thing!

It's zone 2, in an area that has international press attention, has to its horror become a 'destination' in a way which differs from it's previous reason for being a destinatio & the nearest chain hotel is up the road in a bland bit of Vauxhall?
The prince tried to be a boutique hotel catering for the academy audience a few years back. They had no idea how to run a business though, so it failed. Given the demographics of the people who have moved here in the last 5 years the owners have evidently seen there's a Market for it. Who could have predicted that a travelodge above fire on bondway would work?

It's obviously an ideal location for a ** hotel. And if that doesn't work they will turn it into a student residence.
How can they lose?
Then there is the up-and-coming Z Hotel behind Superdrug. That is going to be boutique hotel - but does have at least a boutique location. Rumour has it they will have breakfast provided by a private passage to Costas and spare underwear will be available from Marks.

Travelodge rooms are probably bigger than student bedsits if the ones by the interplanetary soc are anything to go by. It's a no brainer - big investment but low running costs with tight margins

I'm sure it'll do well, the new hotel, especially if they offer special deals for an hour or two instead of the whole night. Just a bit confused as to why the whole of coldharbour lane was shut to traffic tonight, with orange plastic barriers and everything, to allow a construction lorry to just sit in the street there.

it has 'elf and safety of course. Like when Network Rail ran the trains at 20 mph for a year after the Potters Bar train crash.

Last time I used such a place was the old London Park hotel at Elephant and Castle. Was chocker with Germans and they (and I) found it irresistible going several times round the loop for the full fried breakfast.
It sounds like Premier Inn might beat Wetherspoons for those of us who like a large breakfast.

I thought these sort of people were more accustomed to Property Fairs in Cannes.Well it sure fits in with the demographic of the Lambeth Blue Labour cabinet members.
Or have I come the the wrong thread?

Someone mentions the "Dutch system" - ie something that's been working fine for several decades in a nation famous for its pragmatism - but you still seem determined to find reasons why it can't work.
Or do you have some solid information showing that such systems create significant problems with delays to ambulances?
But perhaps we should also be thinking about the reasons why ambulances are called out in the first place, and see how the Netherlands compares to the UK.

Really good bit of writing here, about bicycles as almost religious symbols.
"They can be emblems of right-thinking, environmentally friendly city government or the weapons of self-righteous, passive-aggressive machismo. . "
The beauty of bikes – redesigning two wheels

Last night I was coming home on the bus ... sitting on the top deck and as you come through Deptford you get quite a clear view of the junction by Deptford Bridge. If you want a good example of how unconstrained motor traffic demands can completely trash the urban environment this is one. What a disaster.
