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

Such sad news about the passing of our Queen. May she Rest in Peace. She is now reunited with her beloved husband Prince Philip. Like many of us I have only ever known her as our monarch. Only…Continue

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! "

Office Closures in Weekly Bulletin
We now have a weekly bulletin for all estate residents. I am particularly concerned to hear that the estate office is to introduce early closure on Wednesday afternoons, from next week.. It is claimed its to allow for staff meetings, training etc. I have lived here for 30 years, and originally, the estate office was open for residents all the working week. It was never closed then for lunchtime. Nor did it have an early closing on one day of the week. We had 2 resident estate officers. …See More

"What a surprise! "
Maria Elizabeth Prior replied to Marcia Rocha's discussion Bathroom mirrored wall cupboard
"Thanks Jade. I know to some people it was important to keep the originals. When I moved into my flat many years ago everything was original. Unfortunately, most were in such poor condition it had to be replaced and updated. "
Maria Elizabeth Prior replied to Marcia Rocha's discussion Bathroom mirrored wall cupboard
"Okay. I see it now. As I earlier said, that is not original. The cupboard was added by a resident later on. Maybe, you can just purchase a cupboard that looks similar as no original ones exist. "

Dear Maria,
I hope this email finds you well!
I am currently seeking to rent an apartment within the estate long-term, it has always been a dream of mine to live there.

Thank you

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
