We’ve been busy reporting pot holes since the big freeze, but the biggest one we’ve found is in Northbrook Road, where the whole carriageway seems to have given way outside number 23.
The Council tell us their contractors went out to repair it last Thursday, but as they started to dig, even more of the road collapsed. A detailed investigation is now promised, and repairs will be undertaken once this is complete.
If anyone has any ideas what’s caused this, or knows of a bigger pothole in Lee Green, do let us know!
Spring appears to be creeping round the corner slowly, and people are getting back into their gardens following our freezing winter. The garden waste drop-off point at the junction between Riddons Road and Mayeswood Road in Grove Park is re-opening this Saturday.
Between 9am and noon every Saturday between this Saturday (20th March) until 28th November, you can take along garden waste in plastic or reusable bags. Flowers and plants, grass clippings, hedge trimmings, leaves, and twigs and branches up to four inches in diameter will all be accepted.
Alternative drop off points are available at Girton Road Car Park, Sydenham; Kitto Road, outside Orange Café, Telegraph Hill and Laurence House Car Park, Catford.
The service is free, but residents should bring along proof of address and ID, otherwise they may be refused access to the service.
I spent the weekend in Birmingham at Lib Dem Spring Conference. My partner’s originally from Moseley, so no opportunity is ever missed to take a trip up to England’s second city (more trees than Paris, more canals than Venice, I’m reliably informed). However, lovely as the canals and trees are, the highlight of the weekend was Nick Clegg’s speech. See for yourself:
The editorial team tell me that responses have been healthy and the book is selling well. However, there are still some copies left. If you’d like to get your hands on one, email roseanngibbs {at} onetel(.)com
Just a quick note to say that I understand that the revised design for the stained glass window at Northbrook School was APPROVED by Planning Committee A at their meeting on Thursday night. Papers available here.
