Every home gets a letter about the tax rise. How these ones find out:

Now it's planned for padel courts.

@putneynews.bsky.socialFrom 31 October, an officer decides your neighbour's extension alone, no vote, no appeal. Wandsworth hasn't said a word. What you can do before 21 October: https://putney.news/2026/09/22/any-say-on-your-neighbours-proposed-extension-is-quietly-being-axed-next-month/
