An 81-year-old Parkrun legend dubbed 'Marvellous Mike' is locked in a £325,000 inheritance fight with his stepkids who want to throw him out of his home.

When super-fit pensioner Michael Morfey's second wife Karen Morfey died in 2021, she left him nothing in her will despite the couple having been together for 18 years.

Retired teacher Karen gave her £600,000 house in south London to her two children, Alexander and Emma Davies, in equal shares, granting her husband only the right to stay for a year after her death.

A controversial road scheme in south London is to be axed after it took a bus more than two hours to go three miles through the blocked-off streets.

The blundering low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) plan in Streatham Wells caused tailbacks and brought traffic to a standstill in the suburb.

The Labour-run Lambeth Council was forced to pull the plug, admitting it pushed up congestion by eight per cent on surround routes.

At its worst, one bus took 121 minutes to travel less than three miles due to heavy queues on the A23 arterial route from motorists avoiding the LTN.

The group insist they are not vigilantes - but concerned citizens who say the council have not clearly communicated the low traffic neighbourhoods.
