Kwik Save coming to Cemetery Junction... #rdguk

See below for an update on Kwik Save coming to Cemetery Junction. It is great news that this building is going to be locally listed to give it some protection, the Granby is a real landmark at the junction.

"Just to let you know, the applicant has withdrawn the planning application for the single storey rear extension and new glass shop front at 120 London Road (130970).
Objectors will be informed in writing.

The building has also now been placed on the List of Locally Important Buildings and Structures of Local Heritage Significance (The Local List) – the site owners have a 6 week period to come back to the Council with any reason why the building should not be locally listed."

Picture of my #Movember moustache and a threat

As the keen eyed amongst you may have noticed. We are now in December and I haven't shaved off my Movember moustache – growing a moustache for men's health.

This is because I have been particularly bad at doing any fundraising.

In the spirit of aiming low and hitting my target what I would like is for 10 people to sponsor me one pound each, to raise £10 for men's health – I already have one.

You can do this here: http://uk.movember.com/mospace/2799392

Think of Sam – my partner – she hates my moustache and wants me to get rid of it. If 10 people don't donate one pound each then Sam may need to donate the whole £10 to get rid of it!
