I notice this when you scroll as far back as 2008 in streetview on my Catford street; no potholes(!), used to be a corner shop at the end of the road (now a shabby resi conversion) and no hedges overgrowing into the pavement.

No, so many neighbourhoods have had the life sucked out of them by losing shops, I don't want my neighbourhood becoming a dormitory. Just build more so the population can grow and support a vibrant local economy, it's that simple.

London's transport network just isn't built for the city we have now, yes I can get to London bridge from where I live in 25 minutes, but if I want to see friends in Peckham it's a 40 minute bus...or 15 on a lime. No brainer!

The boom-bust cycle was supposed to be over to highways building, but somehow we didn't even manage that. This blog goes over it well.

Took the road through Ladock last night on the way to see my parents, saw that the botched signs put up after the A39 was downgraded have been replaced with primary B-road signs?
