Hiya There is a lady who is a professional storyteller, Vanessa, who would probably do a small group session for you. She is very well respected, does a weekly session at Woolfson and Tay in Bermondsey & the book shop in Dulwich. http://www.londondreamtime.com/London_Storyteller.html Hope it goes well.

Hi Just a quick add on as I have a planning application in myself at the moment, the duty planner service that Caz mentions, at the Cuming Museum has been stopped. I was able to use it in around May time, and it was brilliant being able to sit down with a planner and gain from his experience, I tried to go again in August to be told it had been cut, and now there is no way of getting any planning advice pre application. The fact this information was still on Southwarks website was annoying as I had a totally wasted trip. In the end I did it all myself, had it rejected on one point, not outlining the building in red on the site plan, then that was resubmitted. But I have found the admin woeful. You struggle to get anyone on the phone and when you do they arent very forthcoming. But I suppose we have to remember the volume of applications they deal with. I'd be concerned if you cant see your application on line by now though. Worth a chase. Shona
