@CommunityPlann1 A lack of financial viability I guess. It’s happening everywhere on brownfield sites. These developments are exactly where affordable homes are most needed!
@cns46z@RosieP4@1221triciafln@Keir_Starmer But what is an ‘affordable home’ in this context? Just words with no qualification on the assumption that most will think it’s a cheaper house to buy. It’s far from that, market prices will prevail. They are reduced rent or shared ownership. Good but not the full solution.
@RosieP4@Billericay_AG The proportion of affordable homes in Basildon is even worse than Colchester. Nearly all the approved brownfield developments (c. 4,000 dwellings) have none due to a lack of financial viability. But Green Belt sites have slightly more than the councils 31% target. Go figure!
@BasildonCouncil Are you aware that the expected 50 caddy liners/bags were not delivered with the new caddies earlier this week in parts of Billericay?
@TfL Thanks but it’s worse than that. No through service from Greenwich or Becton to Stratford. Effectively no DLR service all weekend. Time to be flexible TFL.
@TfL why is the DLR not operating through Poplar or West India Quay all weekend? Far from clear on your website whether it’s planned maintenance or the rail strike. If the former why not suspend the work and help Londoners at a difficult time?
@EssexLibraries the Libby app has asked me to re-verify my library card but it fails when I enter my PIN. I have tried to log on to the ECC library web site using my card no. & PIN and that fails too. I’ve tried the forgotten PIN option. No luck either. Help please!
@British_Airways hi, I have an e-voucher issued 13/09/21 with an expiry date of 30/04/23. Has this been extended to 30/09/23 and if so can I get written confirmation please? Thanks.
@AstraWoman1@kitkatclubLDN Did you receive an email to that effect? I’ve had nothing since the original email last month when the performance was cancelled suggesting options would be communicated in mid January. Thanks.
@British_Airways I have an eVoucher with expiry date of March 2023. Has this been extended to September 2023? It’s for flights booked Oct 2020 for travel Aug 2021. Thanks.
@kitkatclubLDN Is anyone from ATG monitoring this thread? We are approaching mid January and there still no options for those with tickets for cancelled performances as promised here and in emails.
@kitkatclubLDN It’s now 11 January and still no news for those of us who had performances cancelled before Christmas. What’s going on? An update would be appropriate and respectful. Thanks.
Our latest article asks who is to blame for the Local Plan that will blight the borough. Tory leafleting says its Labour, but that’s only partly true. The Tories conceived the Plan and they delivered it to the Planning Inspector. It’s their baby. (1/2) https://t.co/hwBOpzDjCY
@Sonos for the last few days I’ve been unable to play BBC local radio stations on Sonos either as Sonos Radio stations or via Tunein Radio. I get a BBC statement that the station is unavailable due to contractual or technical reasons. Please advise. Thanks.
