I wouldn't go to a pub to watch a film. In my opinion the Granada wasn't blighted by the planning process. No matter how well the UCKG did it up, I wouldn't...
If it wasn't blighted then how come it isn't doing business now? How come it has stood empty for so many years? As for the pubs, you may be right. Maybe they...
I've no doubt you know more about the planning process than 99% of people, but it seems on the face of it unfair to blame that process for the present impasse....
Don't want to get into the details (since I probably have forgotten stuff) but strong local opposition and the need for an entertainment venue, are not obvious...
Just to clarify this point, it is a wild exaggeration to say the EMD was being "used as a church" one day a week. The situation was that a small church group...
There's a lot of guff and nonsense spouted about the Granda/EMD situation on this site, mainly by Jo Brind. So here's my (fairly well versed in the situation)...
Umm, because the UCKG still own it. You didn't answer my question. If it wasn't blighted then how come it isn't doing business now? How come it has stood empty...
... Don't be daft, Jo. The reason it's stood empty is twofold: 1. The UCKG paid £2.8m for the building, yet its maket value is only £1.5m (according to the...
In a way I think Jo Brind has done a fine job of directing the issues re the cinema to planning and away from the fact that a cinema is something that a lot of...
Wandered up to the town square at around 12 noon on Sunday, expecting to see a few right-on people shopping and bored stall holders packing up early. For the...
I remember the cinema as being a draughty, cold place you could go and see a film you might be interested in watching with a few mates, if you took some ...
Well Simon an interesting mix of unsubstantiated assertion and self contradiction. You are obviously angry but what do you believe you are going to achieve? If...
Well, the so-called rave certainly did take place, and to my horror I discovered I knew one of the "organisers"! From Brixton. Whatever about the cinema I am...

I was interested to read Simon has found cracks at the back of the site. More to the point those holes in the canopy over the heads of passing pedestrains are...
Hi all Just wondering if it's just me... does your recycling collection seem to have become every two weeks instead of weekly? Mine is supposed to come on ...
The same is true at my end of Campbell Road, unsurprisingly. I thought our full crate every week was a disgrace, but your neighbours must be real party...
Scenario: Collections in Farnan Avenue & Kenilworth Avenue. The Diary We merrily have our usual collections week-ending 23rd Sept, finishing with the Green...
Hi, glad to see the farmers Market in Walthamstow as its good to have freshly grown produce in walthamstow. Mark West Publicity Officer Waltham Forest Friends...
They still turn up every week here (Coppermill Lane area). The council website states that collection is weekly. I'd call them on 020 8496 3000 and tell them...
Dear Pat and colleagues - PLEASE PUBLISH THIS!!!! Last week's letter from "Kara Miller, Director" had me rubbing my eyes in disbelief. Does this person live ...

My letter to the Guardian this morning (I'll bet they don't publish it!- they've ignored the last five letters and two press releases I've sent) was sent from...
