And there are over 300 people who are very much in favour of Piplings, as evident by the number of people who have signed the online and in paper.

Piplings is a SMALL nursery. 24 (maximum) children is tiny compared to the Asquiths of this world and some other S London nurseries, in residential areas, that take up to 186 children.

Piplings has been granted planning permission to run in a residential property by the council. It has abided by all the conditions set to ensure that it doesn't disrupt or change the residential area. There have been no complaints to Environmental health or directly to the nursery about noise or nuisance.

You needn't have spent your £4. TLERA (although they probably shouldn't) have spent more than enough time and money gathering this type of evidence already. This is one of the main reasons that the SGM has been called, and whilst the nursery issue has instigated the call, there are many issues to do with the wider running of the association that many residents and members feel need to be discussed. I very much hope that at the SGM these concerns can be relayed and dealt with openly and honestly.

So, finally we appear to be seeing the crux of this vendetta against 'Piplings' - it is not about noise, nuisance, traffic, business or all the other smokescreens. Its not even about the nursery itself. It is about a personal grudge some people feel against a neighbour, in which case, even more reason that TLERA shouldn't get involved.
