First of all: THANK YOU. We are quietly encouraged by the initial response. But there's still a lot to do if we're going to be able to continue for the long haul. If you've thought about joining but not got round to it yet, please do sign up at http://www.London-SE1.co.uk/membership/ As well as Paypal we've added a Direct Debit payment option. Some of you have asked for a way to make a one-off contribution, rather than a recurring subscription. In response, we've now added a way for you to sponsor an hour of local journalism: http://www.London-SE1.co.uk/sponsoranhour/ With massive thanks to everyone who has been in touch to offer encouragement and good wishes, James Editor, SE1 website ============================================================ { Local news & features from the London SE1 website } * Two injured in Union Street fight Read more at: http://www.London-SE1.co.uk/news/view/8927 * �160m Cancer Centre at Guy's welcomes first patients Read more at: http://www.London-SE1.co.uk/news/view/8926 * Tower Bridge: three-month road closure begins Read more at: http://www.London-SE1.co.uk/news/view/8925 * Lambeth drops Punch & Judy act after Corbyn 'devil' claim Read more at: http://www.London-SE1.co.uk/news/view/8919 * Double-deck buses introduced on route 42 Read more at: http://www.London-SE1.co.uk/news/view/8924 * St John's Churchyard + Potters Fields Park: have your say Read more at: http://www.London-SE1.co.uk/news/view/8923 * Sadiq: Londoners must mix with their neighbours Read more at: http://www.London-SE1.co.uk/news/view/8922 * AK-47 assault rifle found in Webber Row undergrowth Read more at: http://www.London-SE1.co.uk/news/view/8921 * 388 bus extended to Elephant but route 100 could be cut Read more at: http://www.London-SE1.co.uk/news/view/8920 ============================================================ { What's on this week } SE1 ACTIVE DAY Wednesday 5 October 11am-9.30pm at LSBU Academy of Sport, London Road; free London South Bank University's Academy of Sport presents a day of free activities from 5-a-side football to pilates and meditation.
