<br />
However a banking hub is being set up in association with LINK and the Post Office, this means that if the hub opens before the 23rd Feb, Natwest will close then, but if it isn't ready, Natwest will keep the branch open until the hub launches.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
I’m looking at moving to Forest Hill and have been checking out the area behind the library.<br />
<br />
I was a bit surprised that the houses there seem slightly cheaper than I’d expect, given how central it is — with the pools, cafés along Dartmouth Road, the station nearby, and being in the Eliot Bank catchment area.<br />
<br />
The estate agent said it’s a really great, family-friendly area with everything on your doorstep, but also mentioned it’s seen as having parking and traffic issues, and suggested that might be why prices are a bit lower (around £50–100k).<br />
<br />
I really like the area, but I’m a bit worried about how much of a hassle parking might actually be.<br />
<br />
I tried out the swimming pool as part of my research and did notice I got stuck in traffic by the library for about 5 minutes, then it took another 5–10 minutes to find a space — not sure if that’s typical or just bad timing.<br />
<br />
I’m ideally looking for a place with off-street parking, but my mum would be visiting quite regularly, so I’m a bit concerned she might struggle to find a space nearby.<br />
<br />
Would love to hear from anyone who lives there (or nearby):<br />
<br />
How bad are parking and traffic generally, or was I just unlucky?<br />
Anything else I should be aware of?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Tower Xpress Pro Combo 11 Litre 10-in-1 Digital Air Fryer Oven with Rotisserie for sale.<br />
<br />
Excellent condition. Clean and fully working.<br />
No original packaging<br />
Only used a handful of times.<br />
Please see below* for detailed description and more photos on my ad HERE for more information.<br />
<br />
£70.00 or very nearest offer.<br />
<br />
Cash on collection only from SE23 3YW (Forest Hill/Sydenham SE26 border and just up the hill from SE22).<br />
<br />
Also comes with some free extra accessories I bought separately - 2 free magnetised air-fryer cooking times/guidelines, oven liner mat and pack of 100 paper food liners. (Last photo)<br />
<br />
*Boasting 10-in-1 functionality and an extra large 11 litre capacity, this Tower XpressPro Digital Air Fryer Oven is the perfect cooking companion. This digital air fryer lets you cook a variety of crispy, tasty, healthy meals and snacks for the whole family. It works as an air fryer, rotisserie oven and dehydrator with roasting and baking functions. The reversible grill plate and wire rack accessories allow you to cook mouth-watering sizzling steaks, crispy pepperoni pizzas and golden brown sausages. Its wire rack is great for holding skewers, slices of bread and can be used as a conventional grill to create a wider variety of meals.<br />
<br />
With 2000 watts of power and utilising Vortx Air Frying Technology, this air fryer oven is 30% faster than a standard oven. Air frying is a much healthier way of frying food - using 99% less fat than conventional deep frying, you only need to use a teaspoon of oil to get the same tasty results.<br />
<br />
The large 11 litre capacity is the perfect size for family cooking and for added convenience the 3-tier mesh trays allow you to cook 3 different foods at the same time.<br />
<br />
The digital control panel offers adjustable temperature and pre-set menus for cooking fish, fries or roast chicken, all at the touch of a button. There's also a 60 minute timer.<br />
<br />
A removable door and dishwasher safe parts mean this air fryer is quick and easy to clean after use.<br />
<br />
Accessories supplied with this versatile digital air fryer oven include a rotisserie fork and handle, reversible chargrill & pizza plate, 3 mesh airflow racks, 10 rotating kebab skewers, 2 rotisserie cogs, non-stick oil drip tray, multi-function wire toasting rack & two silicone heatproof finger mitts. An exclusive digital recipe book full of delicious air fryer recipes for the whole family is also included.*]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Solid oak, front door for sale<br />
<br />
Original, solid and heavy, circa early 1930's, approx 94 years old.<br />
As it's oak, unsurprisingly the door is very heavy.<br />
It has three hinges, but no keys for the locks so the mortice and Yale will need replacing, they can be easily unscrewed and removed.<br />
It has been painted a grey/blue colour in the past (see pictures), however once stripped back to the original oak wood it will show it's beautiful hay/straw like colour, or it can be stained by new owner.<br />
It has the original door furniture (letter box, external metal hinges top and bottom and a central four pane leaded light window) above the letter box.<br />
The door is right hand side hanging.<br />
It has slight cosmetic damage that can be repaired, also see pictures<br />
https://www.gumtree.com/p/external-doors...1510496413<br />
Asking £750 - £800 for a quick sale.<br />
Buyer collects (it will need two people to move it as it is very heavy and transport) from Forest Hill, SE23]]></description>

This has to stop and the Police need to seriously get to grips with the issue. It'll not only be car premiums going through the roof but house insurance as well at the rate it's going. <br />
<br />
Since I'd guess January 2024 the road has had probably in the region of 12-15 stolen.<br />

Steering locks aren't a deterrent, a heavy duty chain from steering wheel to pedals with a heavy duty padlock or even a wheel clamp, probably the only thing's to stop them.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sorry to report a further two cars stolen from our road, one over night about a week ago and one this afternoon from someones driveway. <br />
<br />
This has to stop and the Police need to seriously get to grips with the issue. It'll not only be car premiums going through the roof but house insurance as well at the rate it's going. <br />
<br />
Since I'd guess January 2024 the road has had probably in the region of 12-15 stolen.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I hope someone can offer some tips or advice.<br />
I've been a Pay as you go member of FHP for some time. Recently I've become bored with just doing my usual Gym work-out and decided I'd like to attend a few Classes BUT I'm finding it impossible to book on anything..I've realised the classes get lisated for booking online a week in advance but I've never been able to get in a class.<br />
I go the 'waitlist'..then I'll get an email (sometimes at 3AM so I discover it around 8am the next morning) saying a palce has become available so I'll go to the app to book and lo and behold..the classes now say 'Fully Booked' Its getting REALLY REALLY frustrating.<br />
and I dispair of ever getting to a class.<br />
I'm posting this in the hope of getting any tips on the best time to try and book a class..<br />
Am I better off going to the reception and trying to book in person?<br />
Please help!]]></description>
