Ah it's probably that then. I didn't look in too closely.

I've always been curious about your sources
I don't know if they own the costcutter but they do own the Italian restaurant a few doors down.
Lovely people.

I knew they owned the Italian - but for some reason I thought the Costcutter too - I'm not sure why I think that though. I might have read it on here.

Wow! Nice new 'Thank you NHS' mural painting on the side wall of the charity shop near the Co-Op. I was on the bike so unable to take a picture. It makes that soul-destroying stretch of street look so much better too
Looks great. Commissioned by the building owners who are local. Also has an 'RIP TY' in top right corner im memory of Ty Chijioke.
I've seen people, both yesterday and this morning, taking photos of the mural.
I think it's amazing and hope people travel to see it.
Given that the advertisers have stuck up a massive digital screen opposite, it's obviously a prime location, and this has the benefit of being visible to SCR through traffic, which the screen isn't.
It would be great if it becomes a permanent fixture, being updated with new messages periodically.

Aghogho Asagba, "Customer & Stakeholder Experience Coordinator", really has had something of a nightmare with her communications on this over the past three and a half years.
It is difficult to understand how that Thames Water can now be claiming to have suddenly encountered "challenging ground conditions" when they have been responsible for maintaining the asset for years, and must have noticed what the ground condiitons were like when they repaired their pipes after each of major bursts that have happened in the area over the past 30 years.

From 6 weeks to 9 months is pretty f**king impressive!!!
Be thankful that Thames Water have had their 'A' team working in the area.

Presumably you’re one of the crowd who would do a much better job if you were in charge. Imagine you’d have it all sorted by Xmas.

Building work started a couple of weeks ago (three years late) for the new resource centre on the Palace Road estate. That area surrounded by the tatty hoardings has been empty for years - nearly 10 perhaps? A new fence is going up resulting in the loss of the pavement you can see here on the right.
The resource centre works will look like this. The centre will be a "Learning Disability Resource Hub" to help people with complex health and social care needs. The centre is much bigger than "The Palace" building which was demolished some time ago, and has resulted in the loss of some green space and quite a few mature trees, but I think this is a rare example of Lambeth using their land sensibly. The centre will also offer accommodation to give carers an overnight break, and homes for people with disabilities. There is also supposed to be a café along with some space which can be made available for the community.
About a month ago, the Best One shop on Coburg Crescent (roughly where the 1 is on the drawing above) temporarily moved to a portacabin opposite the Nature Garden (just to the right of the 3 above) while the works are carried out. A bit better for passing trade on Palace Road but the shop is very small. They've applied for an alcohol licence as well, so they should be able to start selling beers etc again soon. A new shop is supposed to be built as part of the resource centre works.

On that theme, I notice that the boards have come off the Tulse Hill Hotel as well. Don’t go there much at all but good to see they seem to be planning to reopen in some form.I walked past the Railway today. The doors were open and it looked like they giving it a deep clean
The sign has gone up for the new butcher. A Brazilian butcher, also doing coffees and cakes. Good luck to them.
Also, it looks like the Food and Wine is moving into the Village Masaleh.
Lots of plants were being delivered to the TH Hotel today. They look all set to repoen.

This is all good news. Nice to see that stretch being used. Yesterday there was some very loud music coming out of the the White Hart - windows open, bass booming. It might just have been the people upstairs but it feels like there could be a little resurgence.
The secret police station has also been repainted. Hopefully something will go in there.

Yes I just spotted that too on my way back from the park. All very hopeful!

Tulse HIll Hotel is opening 4 July. They're putting in a pizza oven in the garden. Apparently all Greene King pubs will have the same menu for the first month of opening and then they'll be able to go their own way after that.

July 4 is the date for everything - sports centres, pools, campsites, pubs (well all the things that I use anyway.

Not all pubs will be reopening though - the Dogstar and Albert, for example.July 4 is the date for everything - sports centres, pools, campsites, pubs (well all the things that I use anyway.

I think outdoor space is key. I know the Albert has some but not a lot. Mind you the THH garden isn't exactly massive either.

At this stage I'd glady take even a table at the front, next to the MOT garage cars and taking in the fumes from passing traffic.
Wondering what the rulez will be for indoor swimming???July 4 is the date for everything - sports centres, pools, campsites, pubs (well all the things that I use anyway.

Whoever is in charge of the temporary traffic lights should be hanged and quartered. Half the time the two sets of lights governing the westbound traffic on the South Circular route by the Ford dealership and the Ladbrokes corners are incorrectly synced, resulting in endless jams on that route and on Norwood Road that are perfectly avoidable by simply seeing that both sets of lights are green at the same time,
Instead the first one goes green but the second remains red, resulting in the junction becoming blocked and allowing very few vehicles through on every sequence. And when the lights go green on the lights controlling Norwood Rd traffic they cannot advance because the space in front is packed full of cars already. A five y.o. could work it out ffs.

At one of my pools (an indoor one), they're saying that swims will have to be booked in the same way you book classes (so there will be times and a limit on numbers). The changing room will only be available for people over 70 and with disabilities - poolside changing will be available for others.
