Section 21 eviction notices have been served on 150 residents on a block of flats in Deptford, South London, weeks before Christmas. A Section 21 is a legal method for the landlord to require a tenant to leave a rental property without the need to provide a reason for "no-fault" eviction. A tenant can challenge it and stay in the property until physically evicted, but they may incur court costs. Watch full video - https://youtu.be/u-v8WXgpTuo Even with a Section 21 notice, it can take landlords 6 to 12 months to evict a tenant who refuses to move out – often under advice for their local council’s housing or “homeless prevention” department. The owners of the property, the Aitch Group said a Section 21 notice had been issued to tenants at the Vive Living development to "facilitate the refurbishment of the building". "The tenants have been given two months' notice, as a minimum, in accordance with their tenancy agreements.". The eviction notices may have been prompted by Labour’s Renter’s Rights Bill, currently going through Parliament, which will abolish Section 21 “no fault” evictions. Many landlords are quitting the buy-to-let property market or switching to other rental models, such as AIRBNB serviced accommodation or leasing to local authorities and housing associations. How will Labour’s new Renters Rights Bill 2024 affect buy-to-let landlords? The Labour Party’s Renters' Rights Bill 2024 is poised to bring significant changes to the UK’s rental market, impacting both tenants and buy-to-let landlords. Understanding these changes is crucial for landlords to navigate the evolving landscape effectively.

In our sixth installment of our #BookCast mini-series, we discuss Fifth Business, by Robertson Davies. The novel builds upon childhood events and grows into a personal epic spanning decades of national and world history, centered through the perspective of an older academic looking back over his life.

The podcast edit features an extended discussion by Mark on the concept of unreliable narrators, and Meghan reveals the next title in our ongoing series.

In this episode, Ceri is joined by Paul Hedge, the founder and owner of Hales Gallery, which was established in 1992 in a Deptford café. Paul shares his inspiring journey from a working-class background to becoming an established figure in the art scene. With passion and dedication, he has been a pioneer of inclusivity since long before the term became widely used. Paul discusses the artists who have had the most significant impact on him throughout his career and challenges the perceptions many people have about art galleries and artist representation. He also shares the unique ways he built his profile as an art dealer and how he found success by simply being himself through the power of traditional networking and never letting a lack of knowledge hold him back! KEY TAKEAWAYS Paul grew up in a council house in Stevenage, and his parents moved there from East London after the war. As a child, Paul noticed paintings in his grandparents' house and began questioning them at a young age. He also developed an interest in art books in his school library. In the 60s and 70s, career advice was centred around following in one's father's footsteps, and art was rarely discussed as a career option. Paul attended Goldsmiths Art College, where he was tutored by renowned artists such as John Bellamy, Richard Wentworth, and feminist artist Mary Kelly. It was during this time that he started his first gallery. Exhibitions appealed to Paul as they allowed him to showcase other people's work and share his thoughts, opinions, and art knowledge with others. Before finding success in the art world, Paul worked as a postman, delivering mail to notable figures like Michael Caine and Harold Wilson. This experience allowed him to visit commercial art galleries in London and ask questions to artists and owners. Paul and his business partner set up a café to help fund the gallery, enabling them to make a living while creating a space for art. The café's success allowed them to run a programme and eventually establish the gallery in its own right. The gallery's foundation was built on giving artists a voice and listening to their ideas, including those of women, which was not as common in the 90s. One of their early successes was Japanese artist Tomoko Takahashi. For Paul, style was never a driving factor; instead, race, gender, and class have always been at the forefront of the gallery's mission. Paul has consistently utilised his enthusiasm and creativity to find ways to get things done and succeed, even when faced with challenges or a lack of knowledge in certain areas. BEST MOMENTS  "Everything you thought was changed, everything you believed was changed” “When I think about our shows, they were quite out there” “Wow a curtain pole from Harold Wilson, you're not going to say no” “I've never been short of ambition” “We managed to get some money from the Tories, they gave us some money because we were enterprising” “Parallel to the café being a success, the gallery also became quite successful quite quickly” “Richard Woods, we did an early show with him” “I think punk and growing up in an environment where anything could happen made me think in a particular way” “The odder the better that's my cup of tea” “People's worst nightmare is a working-class bloke with money” “You didn't let the fact that you didn't know stand in the way of your figuring some way” PODCAST HOST BIO Meet Ceri Hand, the driving force behind countless creative success stories.

We may be a little late to this book, but, we want to shout about it nonetheless! Anna Keay joins Simon and Matt for a deep dive into The Restless Republic, when for eleven years, Britain had no king. In 1649 Britain was engulfed by revolution, but it's not a time in history that we are taught about, certainly in the UK. Anna's book takes as its guides the people who lived through these years of restlessness. Among them is Anna Trapnel, the daughter of a Deptford shipwright whose visions transfixed the nation. John Bradshaw, the Cheshire lawyer who found himself trying the King. Marchamont Nedham, the irrepressible newspaper man and puppet master of propaganda. Gerrard Winstanley, who strove for a Utopia of common ownership where no one went hungry. William Petty, the precocious scientist whose mapping of Ireland prefaced the dispossession of tens of thousands. And the indomitable Countess of Derby who defended to the last the final Royalist stronghold on the Isle of Man. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

An Ofsted inspection "contributed" to the death of head teacher Ruth Perry. That's the conclusion of senior coroner Heidi Connor. This is the first time Ofsted has been listed as a contributing factor in the death of a head teacher. Ruth Perry had been head of Caversham Primary School in Berkshire for 13 years when she took her own life in January, ahead of an inspection report being made public which had downgraded the school from Outstanding to Inadequate, based on safeguarding concerns. Her death ignited a national debate about the mental health of school leaders and the pressure they are under in terms of inspections. Anita Rani speaks to Ruth Perry's sister, Professor Julia Waters.   Born and raised in Deptford, south east London, Kwesia didn't grow up with a lot of nature around her. That's until she went on a life-changing trip to the Amazon. She's since created her YouTube channel, City Girl in Nature, to guide other city dwellers into the great outdoors. She speaks to Krupa Padhy about her platform, nature activism work, and winning Best New Voice at the Audio Production Awards for her podcast Get Birding.   Lina Mookerjee had been married to her husband Richard for more than 15 years when he lost both his sight and hearing. Lina is now as much a carer to Richard as she is a wife. Lina and Richard share their story and discuss what they describe as the ‘invisible' work of carers.   Research suggests that the average Briton spends £300 on Christmas gifts. One woman who is bucking this trend is the writer and journalist Nell Frizzell, who says that her family Christmases have improved since they stopped buying one another gifts. Krupa hears from Nell and Ellie Gibson, comedian and one half of the Scummy Mummies, who is a big fan of gifting every festive season.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor

Last week on the programme we heard from Katy Marks, an architect by trade, who discovered after her single mastectomy that there was no bra on the market that was flat on one side. She didn't want to use a prosthetic and so designed her own. Lots of you got in touch following that item to talk about your own experiences of living with one breast. Krupa Padhy is joined by two listeners, Diane Devlin and Laura Homer.Born and raised in Deptford, South East London, Kwesia didn't grow up with a lot of nature around her. That's until she went on a life-changing trip to the Amazon where she camped in the rainforest. She's since created her Youtube channel, City Girl in Nature, to guide other city dwellers into the great outdoors. She speaks to Krupa about her platform, nature activism work, and winning Best New Voice at the Audio Production Awards for her podcast Get Birding.COP28 is now fully underway in the UAE. The conference of world leaders and experts in the environment will discuss many things, one of them being plastic pollution.

Krupa is joined by Christina Dixon from the Environmental Investigation Agency to discuss.

Brooke welcomes Vicky Foxcroft, the Labour MP for Lewisham, Deptford, who shares her journey of being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis later in life and how it has impacted her personal and professional life. They discuss the complexities of identifying as disabled and the internalised ableism that often comes with invisible disabilities. Vicky also talks about her role as an MP and the challenges and rewards of advocating for disabled people in politics.  KEY TAKEAWAYS There is an internal struggle in identifying as disabled and the societal biases surrounding disability. We must promote self-acceptance and challenge ableism. There is a great need for awareness and understanding of the various types of disabilities and their impact on individuals. As the Shadow Minister for Disabled People, Vicky advocates for the rights and needs of disabled individuals, including addressing issues such as accessibility, discrimination, and healthcare. Vicky encourages disabled individuals to get involved in politics and make their voices heard. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's always a really fascinating discussion, particularly when you're diagnosed with something, because I think it's a bit different than a physical disability."  "I quite like saying that I'm disabled. I don't think there's a problem with that. And this is why I do what I do."  "I always thought arthritis was like, 'Oh, your joints are a bit creaky.' But there are like hundreds of different types."  "Disabled people really were impacted very, very differently to those who were non-disabled during the pandemic." VALUABLE RESOURCES https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/disabled-and-proud/id1621152878 Disabled and Proud is the show that brings listeners a different perspective on disability.

Ear infections are not uncommon in children but what can we do to prevent them? Do they always need to be treated with antibiotics?

Darren Appiagyei is a wood turner and founder of inthegrain. The Camberwell College of Arts graduate made his name with vessels fashioned from the Banksia nut. Subsequently, he has gone on to create pieces from waste wood he finds on a local farm not far from his studio in London's Deptford.  He believes his work is ‘about embracing the intrinsic beauty of the wood; be it a crack, texture, knots or lack of symmetry', adding that ‘it's about allowing the wood to speak for itself and enabling the inner beauty of the wood to shine'.His pieces have been included in shows such as 300 Objects during London Craft Week in 2020, Salon Art + Design at Park Avenue Armory in New York, and he had his first solo show at the Garden Museum in 2021. He will also be exhibiting with The New Craftsmen at this year's Collect fair which runs at Somerset House from 3-5 March 2023. Darren is definitely one to watch. In this episode we talk about: how table tennis played a vital role in his career; learning to turn as a student; discovering the Banksia nut by chance; how he ‘collaborates' with wood; his Ghanaian heritage; dealing with his mother's mental health issues as a child; why wood became a form of therapy; and writing his memoir.Support the show

This Episode is quite powerful as I met up with Irene, at the Philadelphia Airport who was travelling from L.A returning home to Deptford NJ. Irene is retired and had just visited her son in L.A. In this street vibe, Irene shares some poignant insights on L.A., Philly and Deptford NJ & How Life & Politics is Changing in America Today. In fact, although Irene resides in Deptford, she is originally from Philadelphia, but ten years ago, she moved to Deptford, NJ. Deptford NJ is a quiet, clean and relatively affluent neighborhood. Irene, who works as a partner at a Jewelry store, shared how she had recently lost her husband to COVID towards the end of the pandemic in 2021 and how it was a very sad time for her and her family as his passing was sudden. So, this trip to L.A. was supposed to help provide catharsis and therapy as she continues to grapple with the love of her life's death. Hower, while the trip to L.A. was wonderful, she critiqued that it was also disappointing, because some of the places she visited were depressing and scary compared to Beverly Hills where Tyler Perry and Adele's live whose houses, she also had the chance to visit. Moreover, she made a very recommendation to our political leaders and technocrats about how Philly is changing and that if only we could "clean up the streets... you can't just spend all that money Downtown or near the casinos".  Further, as we vote in America today for city, state and some congressional leaders, she question whether her vote counts for anything given all the deterioration and decay in certain places in America and that so much money is spent on adds and campaigns but that very little is being done to help may depressed and vulnerable places. Irene retorts, "does my vote even count?" Nevertheless, she paused a bit, sighed and said, I will vote though as it is important, in a way indicating that it was part of her civic duty. The episode with Irene was very insightful and refreshing as it provided another perspective about life in America especially in L.A., Philly and Deptford NJ from viewpoint of a retiree who is white, yet concerned about poor black/brown, vulnerable and poor communities and cities to the point that she is now questioning whether she should vote considering the ineptitude of our leaders to do anything about these communities.  Rev.

The Fingerprint Department at Scotland Yard was established in 1901, growing out of a system of detailing body measurements to validate evidence at crime scenes. Despite early enthusiasm for the ground-breaking technique and some good support from leading detectives, by 1905, the department had still only managed to secure one conviction using the technique — for a burglary that took place in 1902. So when police find a clear thumbprint at the scene of a double murder, they throw their best men at solving the case and getting their first-ever murder conviction using fingerprint technology. Three Scotland Yard heavyweights — Detective Chief Inspector Fox, a leading detective at the Yard; Inspector Charles Stockley Collins, head of the fingerprint department; and none other than Assistant Commissioner for Crime, Sir Melville Macnaghten — are about to make history.

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events   1698 On this day, the English writer, landowner, gardener, courtier, and diarist, John Evelyn, went to Deptford to "see how miserably the Czar... left my house after three months [of] making it his Court." Keep in mind John's appreciation for the amount of work a garden requires as I tell you this little story about him. In 1698, John Evelyn had owned his estate for 40 years. Everyone who knew it said it was magnificent - both inside and out. It was decorated to the nines. Of all he had accomplished, John's garden was his pride and joy. That year, the Russian Czar, Peter the Great, brought an entourage of 200 people to England to visit William III. In a gesture of hospitality, William volunteered John Evelyn's home to host the Czar and his people during their visit. John and his wife graciously moved out to give the Czar his privacy. But it wasn't long before John's servants began sending urgent messages begging him to return. And when John returned home, he walked into a nightmare. The whole estate had been trashed. Priceless paintings had served as dartboards. His floors were ruined, windows were smashed; even the garden was destroyed. The servants told how the 6'8 Czar had played a game with his friends where they put him in one of John's wheelbarrows and then raced him through the garden beds, crashing into walls, trees, and hedges. It must have been a scene akin to the movie Animal House. Clearly, the Czar had shown a complete disregard for the sanctity of John's garden. As gardeners, we can imagine how John must have felt. For twenty years, John had nursed along a hedge of holly that had turned into a glorious living wall. John, who was an expert on trees, was particularly proud of that hedge, and he wrote, Is there under heaven a more glorious and refreshing object of the kind than an impregnable hedge of about 480 feet length, 9 feet high, and 5 feet in diameter Sadly the hedge was also ruined by the Czar. And even the hardscapes were no match for the Czar's party, and part of a stone wall surrounding the garden was toppled over. John immediately sent word to the king about what had happened, and arrangements were made straight away to move the Czar to other lodgings. King William made arrangements to have the Evelyn home fully restored - the house needed to be gutted and rebuilt from the floors up. John Evelyn was 78 years old when this happened to him. I'm sure there was no amount of restitution that could restore the years of love he had spent in his garden. He lived for another eight years before dying in 1706. Today John is remembered for his detailed diary that he kept for 66 years. As a passionate gardener, many of his entries pertain to plants, landscaping, and related garden topics. John believed that gardening was a year-long endeavor and that the experience of gardening provided immeasurable benefits. John wrote, The gardener's work is never at an end, it begins with the year and continues to the next.  Gardening is a labor full of tranquility and satisfaction; natural and instructive, and [aids the] most serious contemplation, experience, health, and longevity.   1714 Death of Sophia of Hanover, the Electress of Hanover. She died at 83. Sophia was next in line to become the Queen of England, but she never got the chance. She was strolling through her magnificent garden in Hanover, Germany, when she was caught in a rainstorm, and after she rushed to find shelter, she collapsed and died of heart failure. Today a sculpture memorial of Electress Sophia stands on the southern edge of the garden. In 1714, after Sophia died on June 8th, her cousin, Queen Anne, died just two months later at the beginning of August. And that is how Sophia's eldest son was able to claim the British throne as George I. Today, both Sophia and her son, George I, are buried in the very garden she ran out of over three centuries ago. Incidentally, George I became the last British monarch to be buried outside Britain. And while it is unfortunate that Sophia got caught in the rain, there's no doubt that the beautiful grounds she had installed at Herrenhausen Palace in Hanover brought her great joy. Sophia once said, The garden is my life. A patron of the arts, Sophia commissioned Herrenhausen Palace and the surrounding gardens, which remain the greatest treasure in all of Hanover. As one of the most important historical gardens in Europe, Herrenhausen Gardens is one of the few baroque gardens remaining in Europe. And the garden remains true to its original design and comprises four separate gardens that feature over 60,000 blooming flowers and 1,000 containers. The baroque garden, also called the big garden, is home to thirty-two magnificent statues made of sandstone. The sculptures represent the four continents, the four seasons, the four elements, and the gods of the ancient world. A statue of Juno standing next to a swan is particularly stunning. Herrenhausen also encompasses Georgengarten, a beautiful English-style park, and Berggarten, a botanic garden featuring orchids and cactus.  In 2020, Ronald Clark, Director of Herrenhausen Gardens in Hannover, presented Garden Thinking and Garden Behavior. Garden Thinking was defined as, Tending a garden in the long term in such a way that it yields produce in harmony with nature. The eternal cycle of growing, thriving, and decaying can only work if I take care of the soil and plants. And Garden Behavior was described as, Garden thinking put into action. Let us start small and look at a private garden. Which plants do we find there? Are there any at all? Many gardens reflect well how we deal with our surroundings. A few decades ago, it was the three R's (Rasen, Rosen, Rhododendron = lawn, roses, rhododendron), today's fashion are gravel gardens. Again let's start small and look just past our patio door. Is gardening really labor?  Of course... a garden takes time, but no generation before us has had this much leisure time, and caring for a garden is one of the most meaningful and fulfilling opportunities for leisure activities.   1908 On this day, a review of the Peterson Nursery in Chicago offered an update on their annual peony week. ...About 8,000 [peonies were] cut on June 8.  The next day there was a grand display of all the fine kinds for which Wm. Peterson is justly famed.  That beautiful variety, Golden Harvest, is well known as one of the most constant and excellent varieties and an English firm [bred] Duchess of Somerset, [which is] supposed to be an improvement on it.  ...Trials cost a lot of money and trouble, but... it eventually pays [as] is evident by the class of orders Mr. Peterson is now receiving. Perhaps the finest sight of all the varieties at the time of our call was... the good old Festiva Maxima, (with its snowy white flowers with red flecks) consisting of 500 fine five-year-old plants, every one covered with flowers. For sereral days [before our visit] about 1,500 flowers per day had been cut from this lot of plants, but they were still very fine.  Another grand thing from landscape or border point of view is Gloria. The flowers are pink and very beautiful, but they do not all come double.   Peonies are a beloved flower. They are the national flower of China, where they are native and where they are called sho-yu, which means most beautiful. There are two main types of peonies: tree peonies and herbaceous peonies. Tree peonies are deciduous shrubs that can have huge colorful dinner-plate-sized blossoms. Herbaceous peonies die back every winter and return every spring. Herbaceous peonies make the gorgeous cut flowers we all know and love, and the blowsy blooms come in shades of white, pink, coral, and crimson. The largest peony cut flower operation is in Holland, which sells 50 million peonies annually. The most popular variety by far is "Sarah Bernhardt," which accounts for 20 million stems. The ruffly pink-petaled Sarah Bernhardt peony with emerald green foliage was bred by the French plant breeder Victor Lemoine. The Sarah B peony debuted in 1906, and Victor named the peony in honor of the famous French stage actress.  And don't forget two crucial herbaceous peony planting tips for flourishing blossoms: plant them in full sun and plant them high. If you bury the peony crown too deeply, it will not flower. Finally, don't forget that those pretty peony petals are edible. You can impress your guests and children by elevating a humble salad with peony petals or using crystallized petals to dress up baked goods like cupcakes or a basic sheet cake.   1947 Birth of Sara Paretsky, American mystery writer. In her book Fallout, Sarah's character Doris imagines heaven as a garden in this excerpt: Doris thought life was like a high-speed train where you kept leaving friends and brothers and lovers at stations along the route. Maybe when you died, you walked back down the tracks until you met each of the people you'd lost. You collected them all, brother Logan, mother, father, Lucinda, and you got to find a quiet garden where you sat and watched the sun go down, the huge red-gold Kansas sun sinking behind the waves of wheat, while you sipped a little bit of a martini that your beloved had mixed for you.     Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Take It Outside by Mel Brasier, Garrett Magee, and James DeSantis This book came out in 2021, and the subtitle is A Guide to Designing Beautiful Spaces Just Beyond Your Door. Mel, Garrett, and James are the hosts of Bravo's Backyard Envy. They have been called the "plantfluencers" by the New York Times, and they also own the Manscapers landscaping company. Their main differentiator is viewing outdoor spaces the way interior designers evaluate rooms. And in this book, Mel, Garrett, and James take you step-by-step through their process of transforming outdoor spaces -  no matter the size.  In the introduction, they write, The three of us came to the landscape business with backgrounds in design, not degrees in horticulture: Mel and James are interiors experts, and Garrett trained as a graphic designer. Together, we decided to pool our talents and take our collective skill set outside. We learned to transform city lots into lush hideaways, tiny terraces into chic outdoor lounges, and suburban yards into anything-but-cookie-cutter retreats. Along the way, we realized that no matter the size, location, or budget of any outdoor location, the makeover process is pretty much the same. Rather than be put off by the unpredictability of garden design, we fell in love with its ever-changing nature. Today we are constantly inspired by the prospect of working outside, where every project mirrors the seasons and offers the promise of transformation and progress. Nothing is stagnant outside. Time and again, we're faced with many of the same landscape design conundrums, but we're always up to the challenge of solving them. With this book, we're stoked to share our tried-and-true tricks and solutions with anyone who wants to design and build their own outdoor oasis. Whether you are a seasoned or brand-new gardener, a semiskilled DIYer, or someone who just wants to turn things over to the pros, we'll help unpack the process for you. Now, let's take this outside and get started!   This book is 272 pages of planning outdoor spaces worthy of an episode of Backyard Envy - and the authors are quick to point out that, There's no "one size fits all" approach to landscape design. You don't have to become a gardening expert (you don't even have to love flowers!). You just need to understand a few basic landscaping principles and how to apply them to the space you're working with. We've streamlined the process into manageable steps that can work in any area. Feel free to follow each step or cherry-pick them as you please-whatever works for you. Remember: the goal is to experience your home in a different way-from the outside in. You can get a copy of Take It Outside by Mel Brasier, Garrett Magee, and James DeSantis and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $16.   Botanic Spark 2009 On this day, Martha Stewart's peonies bloomed. In her book, Entertaining: A Year of Celebrations (2011), Martha wrote, For the last few years, I have had a "peony party," scheduling the date to coincide with what I thought would be the apex of the blooming of the hundreds of peony plants. Unfortunately, global warming has played havoc with such "schedules" and it is now almost impossible to judge accurately when a plant is going to bloom. Two years ago the peonies bloomed on June 8. One year ago, they bloomed on May 28. This past year they bloomed closer to May 20. I am now trying to find more varieties with longer blooming periods, and more with early, midseason, and late-blooming properties.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.
