The community i experienced will never return along with 80% of true traditional pubs. How can you have the same values in an area that has been overtaken by people of so many different countries and cultures.Britain is diversified that is for sure but in many areas it has come at a cost. Locals are a dying breed.My parents would hate what has become of South London and although i was born here and still live here i do not like what i see. Very sad.But true.

I agree. Diversity is a weakness, unity is a strength. We aren't unified by anything anymore, that's the point of mass immigration. Multiculturalism creates fractured and depressing societies.

They usually build garages for the cars, with these schemes, anyway. They shouldn't just design play areas to be mass concrete where the kids have to share space with the cars. The kids need grass space to play & explore - part of growing up. The other big oversight by the council was to mix older people with younger people in flats. Older people generally live a more sedate, quieter lifestyle & should be housed separately................My Nana & Grandad - he was awarded 6 medals from WWII - were housed in flats in Mosborough, Sheffield. What a way to spend his & her final years. They wanted the kids to be able to play freely in their own space. The kids in the flat above them were running up & down & riding their bikes, inside, & their Mum's music used to belt out at night. Why did Sheffield council think it was appropriate to put a young family above 70 year-olds??
