HANOVER HOUSE RESIDENTS' WEBLOG

NEW RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION WEBSITE

We've created a new site for the whole of St George Wharf and have transfered our flag to it along with info that's still useful.  It's much better and has more people able to keep it up-to-date. We still have our own section on the site under HANOVER.

THAMES CLIPPER CRASHES INTO TOWER PIER. INJURIES.

The BBC reports that "Four people have been taken to hospital with minor injuries after a Thames riverboat crashed into a pier (Tower). More than 50 people were on board the catamaran when it hit the Tower Millennium Pier at about 19:00 BST."

VAUXHALL SAVED - WAITROSE COMETH!

Our Waitrose Vauxhall Alert system went wild this morning with multiple warnings - near miss or an actual real event?!  We kept our hopes down as we checked our facts but it's true: there's a small Waitrose on a collission course with Vauxhall bus station.  It'll be under the new Travelodge.  Completion of the building is due in the year of our Lord (Coe), 2012 - here's hoping sooner rather than later.

You can check the developer's website here... and the planning application is here. I think we can all enjoy a quiet moment of thanks to the John Lewis board for allowing us access to their Essential range.

SOCIAL DIARY

GYM USERS - INCREASINGLY ANTI-SOCIAL

We welcomed the gym when it opened but many of the users are proving very anti-social.  As well as the endemic litter, many users like to have a mid break cigarette which they put out.  They're also attaching bikes to hand railings despite extra spaces being built for them.  We know two people have been physically threatened by users refusing to let up the stairs/ through out front door.  This is all in addition to all the problems of having  a very high footfall right next to our front door. 

PARTS OF PEVEREL IN ADMINISTRATION

The Financial Times is reporting that Peverel has gone into administration.  However, the bit that runs St George hasn't gone into administration according to the call centre when Heidi rung them to ask.

That's all we know at the moment.

NEXT SOCIAL TUESDAY 8 MARCH

The next social's this coming Tuesday at Aqua from 6.30pm.  The flyers are going up late (tonight).

We need to get together as a house given our service charge increase with the dodgy electric bill that's not ours. There's also the chance to get £30 membership to the new Millbank Curzon cinema - usually £50 but you have to sign-up on the night.
