Four cars were in the car park with a number of hooded figures congregating around one car that had 3 or 4 people in it. They definitely did not belong here. I did try the 0300 123 1212 number, but that line was constantly busy. We've had problems with this car park recently and previously, as the electric gates open for any car that approaches them. The car park is just off Burcher Gale Grove, SE15. If you drive to the barrier on Chandler way from St. George's way and turn onto Burcher Gale Grove, the car park is first on the right. Are you able to send spot patrols by the area at night? Many thanks. Hi,

Are you able to send spot patrols by the area at night?

Many thanks.

I know his work well and he would do you proud. I think his proposal is very appropriate for the locality. Angela Hodgson Teall David Cotterell is a brilliant artist.

Their view was that it would cause uneven gaps in the service, and that they couldn't justify the cost (£250,000 a year). So instead they are running 1 extra bus per hour along the whole route... at a cost of £254,000 a year! Our view, however, is that tinkering with the 343 isn't the right answer, as it doesn't link us to Central London. This is why we are pressing for a second route along Southampton Way and Wells Way, to improve the links into town. What time in the morning are you finding that buses are full at Wells Way?

]]> Comment on Burgess Park – New Café Now Open by spoon http://www.evolutionquarter.org/2010/09/07/burgess-park-new-cafe-now-open/comment-page-1/#comment-1217 spoon Sat, 12 Feb 2011 23:05:43 +0000 http://www.evolutionquarter.org/?p=607#comment-1217 We went there today and I was dissapointed. The design is cool but its compact - not much space for buggies, no play area for kids, it's a narrow 'corridor' with big windows (IMHO insensitive to the original building ) and views to the concrete and (in summer owercrowded) tiny playground. The cake for 1.50 is a fair deal, but I felt like sitting in McDonald and thought the staff was happy when we left (and 3 not very loud kids with us). Mind you - it was empty. I'm very sad the old cafe is closed, we spent last 3summers there and used the complain about the manu and speed with which the staff was serving....where are those good times? ;-( We went there today and I was dissapointed.

It is practised in other countries.the 343 bus doesnt have to come the whole route during the peak time from NEW CROSS GATE, but start i.e from Rye Lane to London Bridge. Besides, I now seem more able to get onto the bus from Southampron Way, but it is still a problem from Wells Way. I have to miss 2 busses, before the driver actually does take us from that stop in the morning. Did the TfL look into option into running some shorter routes for 343 during peak hours?
