Hello. In previous years our Estate has held an annual Christmas market. But, this year we are not having a Christmas market, but a 'festive' one. May I ask what that means? Surely, this time of…Continue

Maria Elizabeth Prior replied to SARAH BATTY-SMITH's discussion CRESCENT HOUSE WATER SHUTDOWN 11.06.25
"Hello, I was also getting water out of my taps when I tried it some hours ago. I have no idea if it went ahead or not. I hope the Estate Office respond. We would like to know. "
Maria Elizabeth Prior replied to Maria Elizabeth Prior's discussion Anti Social Behaviour
"Yes Shane. They are all in tracksuits. Am not sure about one being very small, because sometimes there is more of them than other times. They have been jumping around on Crescent House roof, and last week, 2 of them were on…"
Shane replied to Maria Elizabeth Prior's discussion Anti Social Behaviour
"Is one of them very small. I saw a group of three on golden lane. All in tracksuits with their little man bags. They threw something at two ladies and were spitting at cars. Seen them pushing bikes over before. A horrible group"
Maria Elizabeth Prior replied to Maria Elizabeth Prior's discussion Anti Social Behaviour
"Thank you Richard. I am fine. Apparently, my neighbour mistakenly thought the woman who shouted at one of them was his mother, but I have been told by Park Guard that she only knows the boy. They are all known to the police, and…"
Richard replied to Maria Elizabeth Prior's discussion Anti Social Behaviour
"I hope you are OK Maria. If the mother was shouting from Hatfield House, hopefully they can be identified. I have just seen 4 young boys running in to the car park from Fann St and it looked like they had been harassing a young lady. A resident did…"

Anti Social Behaviour
Hello All. Recently, we have had some youths running around on the roofs of Crescent House. Several people have seem them. The police know who they are, but it appears to be getting worse. I have seen them clambering on the roofs and told them to get down. This evening they saw me outside with my little Poppy and goaded me, and when I returned to the main entry door they had chased me, shouting, and banging on the door. Again, I called the police, who said they had thrown an egg at their…See More
Maria Elizabeth Prior replied to Richard's discussion Estate Lighting
"I totally agree. I have also reported lights not working outside my landing months ago, and nothing was ever done. It should not be up to residents to do this. Thankfully, my outdoor solar lights help! "

Inappropriate use of Community Centre
Whilst out and about on the estate this afternoon I saw a Palestinian flag being flown in the window of the community centre. Inside, was a young man giving a speech to people, wearing a 'peace' sign on his top. Now, we all want peace but to put up this flag could be seen as being intimidating to any Jewish residents. Especially those whose relatives are being held by the terrorist group Hamas, who have to see it every day. True peace should be between both sides, but there was no Israeli…See More
Maria Elizabeth Prior replied to Maria Elizabeth Prior's discussion Golden Lane Festive Market
"Thank you for your post. I agree with you. I believe there is a tree in the Rotunda. Some years ago I donated a lovely 6ft Christmas fake tree to the Community Centre, but am not sure if it is up this year. A Very Happy…"
TRB replied to Maria Elizabeth Prior's discussion Golden Lane Festive Market
"Hi Marie, I echo your words with regard to Christmas. Seems the words Festive or Holiday are the norm. I for one address Christmas as Christmas as that’s what it is. I also wonder why we didn’t have a Christmas Tree in the Rotunda last…"

Golden Lane Festive Market
Hello. In previous years our Estate has held an annual Christmas market. But, this year we are not having a Christmas market, but a 'festive' one. May I ask what that means? Surely, this time of year we , look forward to celebrating Christmas, as is the tradition of this country. Why has the advertising been changed? Am confused. See More
Maria Elizabeth Prior replied to Tom's discussion Lots of visitors- short let / Airbnb flats?
"As the City of London have made the rules about Airbnb lets, and prohibit it then it is up to them to contact the leaseholder, as they have their details. It is not your responsibility at all. "
Maria Elizabeth Prior replied to Christine Clifford's discussion Fascist, racist riots
"The original post put the blame on one particular group. I agree that no one group should be singled out, which is why I attempted to re address the balance in a diplomatic way. Yes, everyone has the right to be safe. I only…"
Maria Elizabeth Prior replied to Christine Clifford's discussion Fascist, racist riots
"I totally agree that there is no excuse from any group for such violence. It is terrible. In recent months many Jewish people have felt under threat from some extremists, although this seems not to be addressed as urgent. Every law abiding…"
Maria Elizabeth Prior replied to Jax's discussion Bowater Bike gates left open and unlocked again !
"You are right. It has got worse. The point is if these kids have access to the locks of the bike store, then they may pass them to their non resident friends. That is going back to the original problem. It is up to the estate…"
Maria Elizabeth Prior replied to Jax's discussion Bowater Bike gates left open and unlocked again !
"Richard, maybe it might be even better for parents to remind their children that cycling is not permitted on the estate. On a few occasions I have had near misses with kids riding their bikes very fast! "

We're still new to the estate, so welcome any guidance on how we can participate in residents' action to make things better.
One of the things we most admired about Golden Lane before moving here was the wonderful gardens that the residents had created in the common parts. We'll do anything we can to support you in your battle to get to get the LFB report and your solicitor's letter acknowledged and the gardens reinstated.. Please let us know how we can help...

Hi Maria, Sorry my message today was a bit late to make a proper arrangement. Sue is about this afternoon, or if you'd like to get in touch with her to arrange a convenient time her number is 0780 325 9657. Hope to see you on our next Sunday Social on 12 May from about 11 until 2pm. Anna

Are you free at 2pm? Sorry it's short notice, was trying to coordinate with Sue. We could meet you at the allotments if you're free. Thanks Anna

Hi Maria. I will need to coordinate with Sue who is allocating the bags. We have also introduced a membership subscription of £20 per year to cover new soil, equipment, insurance etc. Are you free at all over the weekend? Maybe we could meet on the allotments and we can introduce you to your bag! Saturday would probably be better for me, but I'll check with Sue. Anna

Maria
We now have a growing bag available on the allotments and wondered if you still wanted to take one? Please could you get in touch with me or Sue Pearson via this website? If we don't hear from you by Wednesday 8 May (our next meeting) we'll assume you are no longer interested. Many thanks Anna Parkinson
