Parking spaces needed, please

Dear Companions

Do you have a parking space you’d be willing to rent out to a local small business?

Alton & Co is an accountancy firm with offices in my building on Kennington Lane, near the big Tesco

In keeping with government guidelines, staff are asked to avoid the use of public transport so are coming into work by private cars. These stipulations look likely to be in place for some time so the firm is keen to find a longer-term solution and looking for 4-5 places where they could park on weekdays during office hours.

If you would be willing to offer a parking space to help them out, do please be in touch:

Best wishes

Album: Dizzee Rascal - E3 AF

Dizzee had moved on by second album Showtime (2005), then gloriously gate-crashed the pop mainstream with “Bonkers”, staying true to London language even as his delight at his success beamed from global stages, and he repaired to Home Counties and Miami homes. Since Raskit (2017), though, the former Dylan Mills has tried to reclaim lost ground. If a recent walking tour of Bow had something of Charlie Chaplin’s curious inspection of Kennington on a flying visit from Hollywood, this seventh album reinforces Dizzee’s effort to reconnect with his roots, and secure respect in the now booming grime scene he helped create. “I’m a fucking serious rapper,” this brilliant pop star recently told NME, clearly fearing the issue was in doubt.
