When the planning application for a nursery to accommodate 24 children was submitted to Lewisham Council, they received 27 letters of objection from residents opposing the granting of planning permission along with a petition of 44 names, mostly from neighbours directly affected by the application. Only 1 letter of support was sent from someone who lives outside of the Estate. Therefore, based on this evidence, the Association believed that it had a clear remit to oppose the application


It's a good job everyone doesn't act in this way. Quite aside from the idea that this assumes that those who didn't write to support the application tacitly agreed to this action, this rather questions where the TLRA sees itself in relation to the wider area.

It is hard to see the justification for this action and I think it brings shame to the whole neighbourhood. There is a massive shortage of quality childcare locally and given that young famillies are a significant demographic then this leaves us all poorer, whether you have children or not.

It is rather ironic that the TLRA seem to have a Trade Directory planned:

I can't see that being too popular now.
