Speaking of politics and politicans I see our MP Kate Hoey was interviewed in the Standard yesterday

Lots of mention of the Olympics and benefits to Londoners but not benefits to Stockwell!

Yes, believe so. At the time of construction (1952) it was the largest unsupported area under one roof in Europe

Yes the Stockwell area seems to be a popular choice for politicos wanting a bit more space for their money.

I have seen various politicians who I vaguely recognise around on my travels (I'm a bit of a political nerd: comes from work) and of course best known was Chris Rennard, Lib Dem Chief, who somehow designated Stockwell his second home (and possibly had to resign when the

THAT is so fantastic. Do you reckon it takes that much skill to make?

Many thanks- Im going to buy it now.....

OK understood - Stockwell is a wide-ranging concept! I had it down as more the streets surrounding Stockwell tube station.

I read this site because I want to find out local news - as I say I am always slightly suspicious that politicans are trying to get in to influence the public through apparently innocent non political websites - maybe thats more about me being overly cynical but I

James, James
(1) I myself live in Vassall Ward and believe fervently - and have done for the past 20 years - that I also live in Stockwell. Stockwell News covers the area (roughly) from Brixton Road to Wandsworth Road, from Oval/Kennington to Clapham North. Anything at all I think is interesting or useful to people in that area. If that means including items from outside that area, so be it.

Sorry if I appear snidey but Mr Bradley does seem to use Stockwell News as his mouthpiece - I wouldnt mind so much if he was a Stockwell Councillor but as he is a councillor for an adjoining area that is not Stockwell it just looks like he is hijacking this news outlet.

As an aside does this website get regular updates from the Stockwell Councillors? If not have steps been made to

Not much at all impressed by this snidey closing part-comment from James - "Shouldnt the Vassall councillor have more concern about things happening in Vassall which he is allegedly elected to represent?". And I am NOT a Lib Dem enthusiast - not remotely.

2010-03-03T23:36:16.838Z

No so much a new tactic really - when I was living in Fentiman Road a few years ago there were reports of similar. But i never actually spoke to anyone who had been broken into in this way. I think it just paranoia and rumour.

Shouldnt the Vassall councillor have more concern about things happening in Vassall which he is allegedly elected to represent?

2010-03-03T18:37:16.234Z

I'll just add a little bit of balance here (and I have no personal knowledge of the school whatsoever and am not connected). All I would say is that any local parents approve of the way the school is run and large number apply to send their children there.

Give this school a wide berth, there are other nicer schools in lambeth who may not be making millions but treat their staff and pupils with respect.

2010-03-02T19:18:42.181Z

I am thinking of applying to work in this school but after these comments I'm not sure I want to work for such a man. However, the websites I'm checking say that Mark McLaughlin is the HeadTeacher. Could someone set me straight please, before I go and make the biggest mistake? lol

This Bathsheba bird it getting a bit uppity - this is 'sposed to be a neutral fair minded blog not an opinionated clodhopper colleseum - carry on like this and almost anyone is liable to get slagged off. Chill out Bath'- woops sorry I mean Naomi - yor lowering the tone ... beautiful Stockwell cant take this kind of griping. I'm getting bleedin angry.

Hey Charlie!

Can you post details of your website and/or phone number so I can book

Cheers

If you've been hit by power outages, it's worth knowing that EdF is subject to certain standards of performance, the most relevant of which being "If four or more interruptions each lasting 3 or more hours occur in any single year (1 April – 31 March), a £50 payment must be made". (from Ofgem website)

EdF doesn't publicize this, and you have to claim it so keep

Can't fathom this anger we get a fortnightly dollop of LAMBETH Life - what more can folk hanker for? Surely not the truth.

I have gone thro the Post Office procedure and it was just dawning on me it is late on ariving by post. Anyway we shall see - not ggod news tho'. Mind you I reckon drivers will show a bit of leniency if there is a supply chain delay and you have the old pass and Post Office documentary receipt for your new application having been made.
