"Hi everyone
I've tracked down the quiz night in support of the above. It's at the Springfield next to Tesco's on Bounds Green Road, on Monday 27th at 7pm. It would be great if we could raise some more money for them that way. "
Matthew Kitching replied to Diana Ferguson's discussion Latest on Shaftesbury Hall "Tin Tabernacle"?
"Good news for the Tabernacle and the Samaritans. It occupies a prominent site by the station so for many it will be one of the first things they see of our area. I hope the redevelopment will be a big improvement."
Diana Ferguson replied to Diana Ferguson's discussion Latest on Shaftesbury Hall "Tin Tabernacle"?
"Thank you Richard, that's very helpful. Apart from continuing the Samaritans' very valuable work, developing the Hall as a local resource can only be good for the local community, giving it a focus and raising the level of community…"

Diana Ferguson replied to Richard McKeever's discussion What if London were a National Park City?
"What an absolutely brilliant idea! I've watched the video and I couldn't agree more with the speakers: we all need connection to nature. I see that the Bounds Green ward councillors have pledged their support.
And how about we start…"

Free Next Bellagio ceiling chandelier
I've had this since I first renovated my house and it still looks as good as new. But – I think the transformer is not functioning properly (perhaps due to operating it from a dimmer). The result is that it sometimes flickers or even goes off. But you're welcome to take it if you think you could use it or fix it. It has 15 little bulbs and is very glittery and glamorous. I think it's about 50cm across but can measure it if that's critical to you. …See More
Diana Ferguson replied to Thomas Wicksteed's discussion Bounds Green - Side Return - Builder Reccomendations needed
"Hi Tom and Lucia
I might be thinking of a similar thing myself. I don't know how much "specialist knowledge" a builder would need to do this kind of work but I know of two good general builders that you could try:

latest on tin tabernacle squatters
I've just had an email back from Alison Scoltock, the chair of the Samaritans. Apparently the squatters do NOT have the Samaritans' permission to stay in Shaftesbury Hall, and the Samaritans are starting eviction proceedings. Clearly she feels very disheartened by the constant intrusion into the property – these squatters aren't the first – and says that maybe the best option is to dismantle the existing structure and start again. Total pain for them, and they are such a worthwhile charity,…See More

squatters at Shaftesbury Hall
More encounters with squatters!I was passing the hall this morning at about 9 and saw a young man with several suitcases outside. The door to the building was open and he was clearly going to go inside. I asked him if he had permission to stay there. He said, "Yes, yes, it's cool, it's called squatting and it's legal, and you don't like it, go to the high court." Nice attitude. I pointed out that the building was a community resource and he said "Yeah, yeah, it's belongs to a charity, I know,"…See More
Diana Ferguson replied to Administrator's discussion Do You Love the Tin Tabernacle? Redevelopment plans for Shaftesbury Hall.
"Yes it would be – if that's what they've done. I guess the only people who know exactly what's going on there – whether these people are squatters or whether they have permission to be there – are the Samaritans…"

"Hi Nicki, yes I did find someone in the end – my builder's son. He did an OK job but was vastly overpriced for the time he took, so if you can recommend anyone else for future reference, please let me know!
Many thanks.
Diana"

Thank you for offering to join the herb-tending brigade if the scheme goes ahead at Bowes Park Station.
I don't know about the area around the tube, have you asked Haringey what plans if any they have to beautify it?
