SE13URE (I pronounce it ‘seizure’, but no-one else seems to
) is written by me, Paul. I live in Lewisham, London SE13, and this blog picks up where Bexcentric left off when my wife and I moved into the city from the Zone 6 suburbs in May 2010.
And when I say it picks up from there, well, Bexcentric wasn’t exactly the most frequently updated of blogs, so I’m setting the bar quite low, but I’m hoping I’ll post here a bit more. Might be a good idea not to hold your breath, though.
A lot of content on Bexcentric tended to be about the Southeastern train operating company. I imagine that may well continue to be the case here. But I reserve the right to blog about almost anything that takes my fancy. Hopefully some of it will take yours too.
Dear SEI3URE,
Shelter is launching the new Homes for London campaign today to champion the housing needs of ordinary Londoners.
London is a great city, but its housing is in crisis. The average monthly rent for a 2-bed property in London is £1,351, taking up 60% of average earnings. 46% of Londoners think the cost of housing in London is a problem.
From May, the next Mayor will have new powers over housing in the capital. We want to see the same commitment and leadership on London’s housing as there’s been on London’s transport. We’re calling on the next Mayor to create Homes for London.
Please feature Homes for London on your site and invite your readers to become part of the discussion on an issue that affects all Londoners.
