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:

Thanks so much for your help, as ever

Best wishes

Croydon suffer back-to-back defeats after 2-0 loss at Kennington | InYourArea Community

... In difficult playing conditions Croydon lost 2-0 away to Southern Counties East League Division One leaders Kennington on Saturday. ...

... Kennington had the second shot of the day saved by Lee Allen, and after some decent passing, Andy Somo’s volley went over the crossbar. ...

... Croydon’s goalkeeper Allen had a busy period in a short spell. First, a Kennington shot went wide of the post, then a chance from a corner was punched out, and the ball was caught after the next corner. ...

... Then in the 18th minute, the ball was headed out and found its way to Gary Lockyer who found a gap and his shot went past Allen. After a couple of saves from Allen, Kennington scored again on 37 minutes to double their lead. ...

... Kennington tried to put pressure on Croydon, only for the defence to block their efforts and for Allen to make some smart stops, including a great dive after a Kennington cross. ...

Album: Dizzee Rascal - E3 AF

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.
