This is one of the issues London Labour insiders raised with me in this piece on Labour & London – Labour is taking the votes of the capital for granted, and is about to impose major local government austerity on councils who were hard hit first time round.

Make Space for Girls @makespaceforgirls.bsky.social · 2d

Girls' use of parks drops after the age of 11. At a time when they should be gaining independence, many girls start to avoid parks.

Why? They feel that parks aren’t for them - there is nothing to do. Also, many state they don’t feel safe.

Which is quicker: walking, or catching the C10 bus? @simoncalder.bsky.social puts it to the test www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-...

London buses: can you walk faster than they can drive?

The Ineffable Horror of Joe Muggs @joemuggs.bsky.social · 4d

Beautiful reporting on the sad final scraps of Elephant & Castle clearance from @jim.londoncentric.media today. Considering a paid sub even though I'm not in London, in part because the writing is so fantastic, always with that little bit extra of context and detail.

Did the evicted Elephant and Castle restaurants stand a chance?

One topic has really dominated the London Centric inbox this week: The eviction of a group of Caribbean, South American, and African restaurants in south London’s Elephant and Castle by developers in ...

Wansey Street in 2008 and now - looking east
@walworthse17.bsky.social @walworthsociety.bsky.social

A turquoise hoarding blocks Wansey Street completely in 2008 with 10+year old trees growing behind.
There was no way through to Brandon Street.

Only the two buildings on the right are recognisable today from the scene in 2008. The magnificent carriage door of 66 Wansey Street has been beautifully restored.

Thanks, hadn't seen that, excellent.

I haven't seen any reporting of what the RATP bid brings to the users of the Normandy services being tendered - just some info about cost, and staff terms. Do the tendering rules require any consideration of users?

A view of the forthcoming mural in Nursery Row Park showing large swathes of colour which will be complemented by detailed painting by local residents over the next few weeks

Friends of Nursery Row Park @friendsofnrpark.bsky.social · 18d

Great to see the new park mural ready for painting after several weeks of workshops and discussions with local children and park users. Many thanks to the artist @taras.art.studio for leading the work!

A scale model of what Brixton might have looked like with a motorway running through the middle, and some rather wonky blocks of flats, is the centrepiece of an exhibition about local urban planning.
