I read the "Whatever" mag and I just got annoyed at it, I very much doubt a) children would read it and b) they'd open it up and think 'why are these people who write the magazine trying to make it ''cool'' when they're failing so miserably. I mean, there was a section called "Pon Da Mic - Beware this section is random!" - wtf?! Seemed like a totally pointless feature! Why don't Southwark Council produce an "E-zine" which can be mailed to residents who sign up, then the people who actually want to read it can have it delivered eco-friendly to their inbox. You could put hard copies in local libraries, train stations etc. Or maybe, when you send out letters to people about their council tax etc, ask them for their email address too so you have another form of contact. While I am at it - does East Dulwich have a local free weekly newspaper? or even one you buy weekly? I haven't seen anything yet (but only been here 2 weeks) Thanks
