Deptford round-up

A few bits of local news:
  • The Master Shipwright's House is for sale (sadly it's a million or five outside my budget...).
  • There's an election hustings for Lewisham Deptford, organised by No2ID and Power2010: 5pm this Saturday at the Utrophia Arts Project, Tanners Hill.
  • The East London Line should open early, on 15 April. The service will be a limited one for 'live testing': there's lots more information on the ever-informative London Reconnections. The East London Line 'soft launch' has been delayed (possibly until next week). London Reconnections has heard that this is perhaps due to a software fault; one of their commenters suggests it could be to do with health and safety paperwork; but Adam Bienkov points out that there may be good political reasons for the delay too.

Hey shall we start a cooperative to buy it? I could throw in a few quid :-)

Brilliant idea! We just need a few thousand more cooperative members and we're there...

I am up for it - bagsy I get a room overlooking the river mind.

Great, that's 3 of us - already the cost is down to £1.67 million each!
