Monopoly Competiton: Orange Squares

By

With the yellow squares decided, we move on now to the orange squares, which are Bow Street, Marlborough Street and Vine Street on the original London Monopoly set.

To enter, simply state the name of the square and the Greenwich equivalent that you’d like to nominate. e.g.:
Vine Street = Creek Road (for example!).

You can nominate one, two or all three squares. Keep an eye on the Competition summary page which tells you all the Greenwich Streets that have been used up already.

If you nominations are selected, you will receive an entry for each one into the Greenwich Monopoly Prize Draw. Your entry doesn’t need to be unique – if someone posts the same suggestions you were going to make, you both still receive a prize draw entry if that one is selected.

Deadline for this one is Tuesday lunchtime. If you’re unclear of how to play, please just ask.

Shooting at the North Pole

By

An apparently random shooting took place outside the North Pole pub in Greenwich High Road last night.

The BBC reports that a car pulled up, a man got out and fired shots which left three people – one woman and two men – requiring hospital attention although their conditions are not life threatening.

The attacker was then driven away from the scene and police were alerted at around 02:40.

Witnesses or anyone that can provide information relating to this should contact Greenwich Police on 0300 123 1212.

Update 24/02/09
A man has been arrested and remanded in prison in connection with this. 28 year old Thomas Scott from Plumstead was charged with grievous bodily harm, possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life, and also possessing a banned weapon.
