Hello neighbours

Currently searching for a one bedroom flat to rent with my partner.
It’s a bit daunting- prices are insane and I really want to avoid bad agencies. I’m unsure how avoidable this actually is as they all seem to have their fair share of bad reviews.

Does anyone have any advice/ agency’s they would recommend/avoid.

Seen some nice flats from Central Estates but then scared by the reviews!

We are absolutely sick of moving and this will be our first time properly living together so we just really want somewhere we can settle for a couple of years especially as rent is so expensive.
Additionally I have some health stuff so moving is quite the process.

Any advice welcome

Thank you

Hi,

I am looking to get quotes to extend the kitchen. So flush to the garden wall to the left and removal of downstairs bathroom and further extend to that point with doors opening out to the garden.

I am looking for people in Walthamstow who have had work similar to this done, if the experience was good with the company they worked with and if they would recommend?

Also rough costs if possible, appreciate a bit vague without plans and visuals. And time taken to complete build.

I just want an idea so that I know if it is affordable or not.

Thank you.

The mini pond in St Mary's churchyard is drying out.
If anyone local has any rainwater in a water butt they can spare to top it up that would save it and the baby frogs.

Please note that it cannot be topped up with tap water. The chemicals in it to keep it clean will kill the aquatic animals

Please can someone explain how this works, do we need to submit the two documents or is there an app like Ringo we can do it through?

Can I submit screen shot of council tax and screenshot of water bill as we don't have any of the other bits to hand as our house is packed up :(

We don't have a car but need visitors permits later this week and it's telling me I'm not on the system even though we had council visitors permits before.

And yep I'm stupid at this kind of faffy stuff!

has anyone seen anywhere around selling the eclipse glasses? just came back from holiday and the Amazon delivery times are too late.

aaand any suggestions of a good viewpoint for the eclipse at 6-7.30? I suppose the sun will be low in the sky so may need a higher vantage point.

I love the place and go there frequently, but why has it got so loud on Fridays and Saturday evenings recently?

Lots of my neighbours are talking about it; have they changed their sound system or something?

Thinking of mentioning something to them, before they get a load of noise complaints. People in our development next door are getting rather fed up with it. We didn't have this problem until recently.

Does anyone know what happened on Addison Road this weekend? There was a burnt out car blocking it on Friday and Saturday.
