A couple of weeks ago, someone asked about the claim that Keith Richards' grandma lived in Walthamstow; no-one was able to verify this. Now I learn that Vivian...
My mate Chris Roughan would know. Keith Richards's brother is a regular at the Jazz sessions at the Globe in Morning Lane, so I'm not surprised to find he has...

This aroused my curiousity and I managed to find this interview where he says "I'm an East-Ender. Grove Road" and went to Walthamstow Art School (now Waltham...
Yes, I found that too. But it was the only internet reference I could find to any address, and I would like to know more. I was hoping someone actually knew...
Sorry, I meant to ask a friend yesterday at the Globe, but didn't stay long enough cos I had a gig in the afternoon. One person who might well know is Dave ...

There was a BBC 4 documentary a couple of years back that covered some of his life in walthamstow i think? BBC4 Stanshall doc ...
The documentary was repeated at the weekend, which is when I first heard about the Walthamstow link and posted my original question. So we come full circle! ...

Has anyone else found it difficult get the council to carry out the simplest of tasks? I have been trying to get an illegal site closed since March 25th and...
Hi I'm no expert on these things, but I would have thought that if you witness someone doing something illegal then maybe it'd be more effective to contact the...
Planning enforcement is a nightmare for several reasons 1. The number of enforcement officers is decreasing (I was told by the previous Head of Planning that...

Many thanks for your reply and I thought I'd just confirm that I have done the things you mention in your message including being very detailed and factual...
Just a thought. As there is currently a hosepipe ban, and I very much doubt that they have a proper water recycling system, it might be worth contacting Thames...
Many thanks for your suggestion Chris, however they were one of the first contacts I used and they were to say the least disinterested which surprised me. But...
Thank god people are sensible enough not to complain about satellite dishes on Leucha Road - I hope they're saving their energy to ask why the road is ...
It sure is a mess down there! Some of the High St Ward "Safer Neighbourhoods" panel took a walk down that way on Wednesday evening - I was "cameraman"....
Folk here may be interested to see the recently-published consultation documents showing the latest thinking on what will happen to the Blackhorse Lane area....
Hi It'll be interesting to see what exactly is causing this fear of crime. There have been some pretty high profile incidents recently, but I haven't noticed...
I'm no expert in these things, but it seems to be entirely subjective. The apparent sensitivity to crime bears no relation to the (much smaller) incidence...
You might also like to note that we're having a presentation and discussion workshop on Safer Neighbourhoods and all these issues at the next Walthamstow West...
Me again. I've updated details of the next meeting on my website: http://www.WalthamSoft.com/WWCC Highlights: * Briefing from the new Portfolio holder on the...

I trawled the boards for a recommendation for a heating engineer and went with R & R Plumbing & Heating, a firm I have used in the past and who have been well...
