End of a chapter at The Alliance pub. Alliance Pub (West Hampstead) Ltd, the Loci-linked company which operated the pub, has entered liquidation. Asher Miller appointed as liquidator. Meanwhile, The Alliance is being marketed for a new pub operator. 🍺 @NLondonCAMRA ...

🚨 Major water leak on Fordwych Road Substantial leak on Fordwych Road this lunchtime, Thames Water currently on site. Worth avoiding the area if you can. Be aware of possible traffic disruption while they deal with it. Will update if info on repairs/local water supplies.

the gift cards display covered in what @sainsburys?

Dear @sainsburys Have you given up on your local store at 377 Kilburn High Road? 1. Bad smell for around a week due to a leak above the cereals aisle. 2. No fresh pastry for a week because of the hot weather... The staff are lovely in this store but please sort out the issues.

Today, we're putting the cowboys out of business. Most builders in this country are decent people who take pride in their work and charge a fair price for it. But the small number who don’t follow the same pattern: take a big deposit, do half a job, then disappear with your hard-earned money. That's got to change. So we're backing a new system that gives you the option to have your money held safely and released bit by bit as the work is completed. Do the work, get paid. It's as simple as that. And we'll help our good builders stand out from the cowboys too. Tradespeople who meet our new set of standards will be able to show customers that they do things properly and can be trusted with their homes. This is another one of our everyday fixes to help with the cost of living, and to get people in every part of this country to finally believe in Britain again.

Le nom du lac Ontario tire son origine du mot wendat « Ontari’io », qui signifie « le lac est beau, le lac est grand ». Ce nom remonte à plus de 400 ans, bien avant la Confédération canadienne et la Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis d’Amérique. Nous savons que les États-Unis sont en train de changer. Leurs relations commerciales, leur politique étrangère, leurs monuments nationaux, leurs hydronymes. Les Canadiennes et les Canadiens savent aussi qu’il faut appeler les choses par leur nom, et ce lac se nomme Lac Ontario – aujourd’hui et pour toujours.

Thames Water's finance director given a £1,000,000 signing on bonus. Water industry depravity hits an all time low. Their contempt for customers and the environment clearly knows no bounds. When are govt going to intervene and put a stop to this? @andyburnham @angelaeagle news.sky.com/story/thames-wa…

UEFA welcomes FIFA’s withdrawal of plans to sell a stake in the World Cup

I thought FIFA boss Gianni Infantino was a force for good in football. I was wrong. The shameful Balogun fiasco was bad enough, but his greedy, tawdry attempt to flog off the World Cup is beyond the pale. He must go.

The Alliance West Hampstead pub - leaseholder reaction to squatters | Ham & High Interesting read, particularly as it sets out the new long leaseholder's perspective on closure and occupation. hamhigh.co.uk/news/26405131.…

Musicians including Glen Hansard played a special version of Woody Guthrie's 'This Land is Your Land' outside Apollo House in Dublin earlier

A rousing performance of 'Fairytale of New York' was given by Glen Hansard and Lisa O'Neill at the funeral of Shane MacGowan in Nenagh, Co Tipperary. The performance was greeted by cheers inside and outside the church | rte.ie/b/1420857

Save The Alliance. Squatters have taken over The Alliance, West Hampstead. Gas & electricity has been left on, a fire risk for residents upstairs. A much loved pub. ❤️ This pub can’t close, it means too much to local community. Join campaign to save pub! #savethealliance

Mill Lane has some wonderful historic shopfronts hiding in plain sight. Former Norman Motors building is one of them. Whatever eventually occupies the site, wouldn't it be great to see features like this retained rather than replaced? Gives the lane its identity #westhampstead

The Alliance pub closes this weekend the campaign to renew its ACV gathering pace. One question: when an ACV-designated pub interest is sold, what notification process applies - was Camden, NDF or wider communuty informed? Genuine Q, interested to know how the process works.

Update to my May post: the "CHICK" lettering and projecting sign have now been removed, leaving a plain red fascia. It will be interesting to see what the finished frontage looks like.

Update: Camden has now refused this application. The proposal to remove the BT phone kiosk and replace it with an illuminated BT Hub advertising structure outside 255 West End Lane has been refused. Decision notice: planningrecords.camden.gov.u…

Quite the turnaround for The Alliance pub's letter board. Last month: "Believe in a better tomorrow." This week: "Section 144 LASPO doesn't apply..." The pub may have closed, but the story certainly has not. #savethealliance
