#Transport for #London (TfL) will begin construction on a major scheme to improve A23 #Streatham Hill this summer. In partnership with #Lambeth Council, the project will introduce new pedestrian crossings, protected cycling lanes, and enhanced bus lanes. The work, scheduled for completion by spring 2027, aims to improve safety, reduce traffic-related injuries, and provide safer travel for pedestrians and cyclists. Bus services will benefit from less congestion and continuous bus lanes. Temporary road closures and access changes will be implemented, but #TfL is working to minimise disruption. Public spaces will also be improved with new trees and sustainable drainage. A dedicated travel advice page will be launched to assist local residents and businesses during construction.

An update to my GP Surgery horror from yesterday, I've registered with a better practice, took less that 24 hours and they've already given me a doctor's name, which I never had at the previous surgery.

I'll still be making a formal complaint about the old surgery, but this new one is already a breath of fresh air.

Do read the reviews of surgeries when looking for a new one.

Lol, Edith Cavell Surgery hasn't been rated since 2017, it's an utter Ableist shithole now.

Edith Cavell Surgery in Streatham is an Ableist exercise in private healthcare being forced into the Public Sector.

Thanks to them and their shitty app I felt like killing myself last week, I told them that and they never got back to me, just rushed my prescription request through.

If I hadn't picked up my meds the next day and had killed myself, would they have cared? I think now

Sounds like the fireworks display over Streatham Common is kicking off then...

Lambeth Council isn't so gung-ho for letting the Police do what they want, they're thinking about Chris's Family and community relations with the Police, which aren't great.

Ugh, perhaps this is the source the smell of burning wood we've had all night here.

It's the sort of thunder storm which sets off the front door light, lovely to watch nice and dry indoors!

the exciting thunder, lightening and rain has passed.

Good old round of thunder here

Power went out in the block for 10 minutes. You don't need that listening to dark ambient at 3 in the morning, terrifying!

Justice for Chris Kaba
