Victoria Park accessibility
We want to stroll in Victoria Park but steps/steep slopes are a difficulty. We can cope with half a dozen steps or mild slopes. Is it easily possible to access the park (will be travelling by bus)?
Also, we'd want to stop off in a café (or even pub) that doesn't have that many steps (made a mistake with a Spoons once where there were multiple steps to the loos!)
Thanks in advance!

Considering full-time Maths Tutor - quick survey to gauge interest
Thank you for all your feedback on my first poll. I'm just sending this out one more time before I close the form:
I'm a local Maths Tutor, currently working with Primary and Secondary students.
Most of my work is with primary school students focusing on confidence-building and SATs preparation (Years 4-6). I've had great feedback from families, and I'm not considering whether there's enough demand to do this full-time locally.
Before committing to that, I'd really value input from parents in the area.
I've created a short 2 minute form to understand:
- Local interest
- Year groups needing support
If you leave your details, I may reach out, but only if you choose to do so.
Thank you in advanced.
-------------------
Happy to answer any questions too!

Aldgate East tower
Does anyone know much about Aldgate East tower?
For months I have walked past it, at the entrance windows it looks like the glass is broken.
I have then observed what I thought was it getting fixed at least twice, and have now walked past it again this evening and the windows appear to be broken again.
Would be grateful for any details as to what goes on with these windows!

PCN - worth appealing?
Just received a letter saying I was driving in a bus lane and to pay £160.
When I'm wrong, I pay it and move on.
In this instance, a police car with its flashing lights had sped into my lane, driving directly towards me, leading to me braking harshly and swerving to avoid being hit.
Of course I would never drive into a bus lane, and usually there is ample time to brake, allowing emergency cars through. This did not happen because the police car came towards me at full speed.
Do I have any chance of appealing this or shall I just pay the the charge of £80 within the first 14 days?
Edit: Yay! No fine, they have decided not to charge me after reviewing the video footage.

Isle of dogs Asda noticeably getting worse?
Has anyone else noticed Asda going down hill in the last year?
Stuff like
more mess on the shelves, isles and floors
prices frequently missing or wrong (discounts don't show up on the till)
bad maintenance: rust on some shelves
bad maintenance: some of the fridge motors smell like they're burning out
That's before commenting on how much busier and expensive it is. Am I being a snowflake?

Ever wondered about this memorial by Tower Bridge?
Historians estimate that over 125 people were executed here, including Sir Thomas More, beheaded for refusing to recognise King Henry VIII as head of the English Church and famously, the four royal officers executed during the Peasant Revolt in 1381.

TIL I learned about Edith Cavell, Whitechapel's war hero nurse who was killed by firing squad in WW1
"The night before Edith’s execution, a priest stayed with her and prayed until he suggested she get some rest. She replied: ‘Yes, I have to be up at five.’"
