Advertiser
Steals our History - The East London Advertiser of 9th October sported a full page article entitled "200 Years of London Yard" in its regular 'Down Memory Lane' series. The article attributed to one "Zoe Bolton" looked suspiciously like an edited version of the first page of the History of London Yard produced for this website by Angela Brown and Ron Coverson. Angela Brown said that she was, "flattered but, as a journalist, I would prefer to be paid". One of the aims of londonyard.com is to raise the profile of London Yard, so, being read by local journalists and used for the basis of items published by the print media can be counted as yet another success. Wanted - Volunteer to issue Parking Permits

Not out of the Wood yet Although
not officially confirmed - At its September meeting, the Board decided to stay with the present managing agents -
Wood Management. The Board was successful in having the London Yard
account moved from Wood's office in north London to their West End
office. The distance between the office and London Yard was considered
one of the major problems affecting the service delivered. The change of
office will also mean that the account will be handled by different
staff. This is expected to take place in December. Sometime in the
new year, Wood Management expect to open an office in Docklands.
Rumour has it that the Board have finally decided on the design of the replacement street lamp globes. But, that their choice was not one of the samples set up early in the year for your comments.

Allegedly
In
1997, as a Board member, I set up the London Yard Parking Scheme in order to protect the
interests of residents from the effects of the introduction of the
Council's Controlled Parking Zone on the Isle of Dogs. Since that time I
have been administering the scheme despite retiring from the Board 18
months ago.
