I was dismayed along with many neighbours to see Britain First, Paul Golding, convicted under the Terrorism Act, a few years ago, along with Nick Scanlon canvassing for votes and trying to get folk to sign something that was not clear. These racist, fascist thugs shouldn't be anywhere , let alone here on Golden Lane, intimidating folk. They have been reported to the police.<br />

I was dismayed along with many neighbours to see Britain First, Paul Golding, convicted under the Terrorism Act, a few years ago, along with Nick Scanlon canvassing for votes and trying to get folk to sign something that was not clear. These racist, fascist thugs shouldn't be anywhere , let alone here on Golden Lane, intimidating folk. They have been reported to the police.<br />
If you signed without realising who they were or what you were signing call the election returns officer who will remove your name from Britain First's list when they deliver it this afternoon. They had about 9 names.<br />

Do this urgently as Nick Scanlon only needs ten names and once they a registered this afternoon it's too late! Chained Bicyclestag:goldenlane.ning.com,2024-02-06:2323372:Topic:1746012024-02-06T19:18:40.769ZTomhttps://goldenlane.ning.com/profile/TomMatthews

If it is not law, I think it would be at least decent of the estate to give more than 1 day for these guys to remove their bikes.</p>
<p></p>
<p>When I first moved here several years ago I didn't know you weren't to lock your bike in the building and was given 14 days and the option of a key to the bicycle storage area, rather than a 24 hour ultimatum. Unfortunately my bike was repeatedly damaged in there by other bikes being dragged past mine, so I have some sympathy. Then there was the thefts in there too last year, and so I now keep mine off the estate.</p>

<p>Roll on cycle storage improvements for GLE (pun intended).</p> Protest Saturday 13th January 2024tag:goldenlane.ning.com,2024-01-10:2323372:Topic:1745112024-01-10T08:42:11.545ZBARBICAN POLICE TEAMhttps://goldenlane.ning.com/profile/BARBICANPOLICETEAM
<p>Good morning City Residents</p>
<p>Please be advised that we have been made aware of a planned protest march being organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC). We are in touch with the organisers and have been informed that the meeting point will be Bank Junction at 1200hrs on Saturday 13th January 2024.</p>

<p>Good morning City Residents</p>
<p>Please be advised that we have been made aware of a planned protest march being organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC). We are in touch with the organisers and have been informed that the meeting point will be Bank Junction at 1200hrs on Saturday 13th January 2024.</p>
<p>The route will be Bank > Queen Victoria Street > Cannon Street > Ludgate Hill > Fleet Street > Strand > Victoria Embankment > Northumberland Ave > Trafalgar Square > Whitehall > Parliament Square. The road closures are likely to be the same or very similar to the previous road closures in place for the PSC March on 9th December.</p>
<p>The form up and starting point will be Bank Junction. Dependent on numbers attending, the front of the March may be pushed along the route via Queen Victoria Street in the direction of Mansion House Tube and set off from there between 1230-1245hrs. The end point will be Parliament Square.</p>
<p>Timings for the road closures are unclear at present and we will aim to provide further detail of this in due course. However, given that the PSC march has been advertised by the organiser as commencing from Bank Junction at 1200hrs, the closures are likely to be implemented within 1-3 hours prior to this. The lifting of the closures will only take place once crowds have dispersed from the area and it is considered safe to do so. Further detail will be provided when it becomes available.</p>
<p>As would be expected, there is an extensive Pan-London policing plan being implemented for this event and you will see significant numbers of police officers in the area on the day. It is anticipated that there will be an extremely large number of people attending this march. As a result, with limited space at Bank Junction, the initial form up of people attending may extend along the planned route and also into surrounding side roads. This will be managed by police officers deployed on the day.</p>
<p>There is currently no intelligence that any individual premises will be targeted. To reiterate, from previous marches that have taken place, disorder has been minimal and the vast majority of people attending are present for peaceful demonstration only. You can assist us be reporting any observations of criminal behaviour or security concerns that you may have before, during or following the march, into our Control Room via the usual methods (101/999 in an emergency). Alternatively you can report directly to any police officer on the ground and they will direct you as to what action they require you to take.</p> Looking for rental flattag:goldenlane.ning.com,2023-12-11:2323372:Topic:1743312023-12-11T13:43:26.940ZHannah goslinhttps://goldenlane.ning.com/profile/Hannahgoslin

<p>Dear Golden Lane Cycle Project Team,</p>
<p>I am writing to address a situation regarding access to the bike storage facility in Bowater . </p>
<p>Recently, there was a lock change initiated without prior notice to those of us who store our bikes there. This left me quite surprised as I only became aware of it when I found the gates wide open, with a child seemingly exploring the area.</p>
<p>Naturally, I took it upon myself to secure my bike; however, the estate office was unable to provide me with any contact information regarding this sudden change. It has come to my attention that the bike shed houses bikes belonging to multiple individuals, not just those associated with the Bowater.</p>
<p>In light of this situation, I urgently require the passcode to access my bike. If someone from the Golden Lane Cycle Project team could kindly share it with me, I would greatly appreciate it. Ensuring the security and accessibility of our bikes is of utmost importance, and I believe that prompt resolution of this issue is in everyone's best interest.</p>
<p>Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to a swift resolution.</p>
<p>Please email me the code or pm me here </p>
