They used to be clear dates when teachers could resign from permanent positions. now isn’t one of them. Any school receiving a sudden resignation at this time of the year wouldn’t be able to advertise andappoint a permanent member of staff by September. They would probably use agency staff.

If you’re in Peckham Park, there’s a little summer fair on the backfield by Straker’s Road. there are these lovely hand knitted bags and creatures and roses and lavender.

I’ve read the thread, but no one on the thread has authority over the noticeboards. There must be something written somewhere spelling out the purpose of them; if they’re not serving that purpose maybe the purpose should change. I’m interested, not because I have a business which I wish to advertise, but because I’ve seen noticeboards elsewhere that have a richer more reflective feel maybe a bit like a physical manifestation of the What’s on on section of this forum but more

Hmm I suppose it depends on the decision of whoever is ‘in charge’ of the noticeboards and the nbs expressed purpose.

It may be that the original purpose of the noticeboards could be changed to suit the changing needs of the ‘community’

Well, I think the word obsessive is unnecessary and it does take more than one viewpoint to continue that conversation

And here we go again

EDF is getting that Nextdoor feel

Your post is confusing. You say I’ve used ‘public shame and ostracism’ that just doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe southwark should have a similar poster thanks for referring to it.

There is a continuum of needs, so I think referring to everybody who claims PIP atm as the ‘most vulnerable’ in society is highly misleading.

You’ve taken the time to write quite a long post explaining why you think as you do. But as I pointed out earlier in the thread most young people look pretty much the same they tend to wear different clothes on different occasions and unless there’s something overwhelmingly stand out about their appearance such descriptions do not help - there’s probably about 25,000 teenagers within walking distance of the park. Any description could apply to many of them. The police have the descriptions leave it to them. I hope you won’t stop going to the park, to reassure yourself go onto the Metropolitan police crime site and you’ll see that Peckham Rye Park is a very safe place to be.

I remember that. wasn’t it organised by local traders? ED being one of the main players. Maybe it’s looked good and felt good but didn’t bring in any actual extra buyers.

Unless they were wearing school uniform with name tags otherwise children do change their clothes you know.

Well, I was being polite perhaps there isn’t a difference.

It’s funny because when you make a statement about a bad driver, it’s not ranting but when someone makes a statement about a bad cyclist it becomes ranting. What is the technical difference?

I think the choice of Bellenden and North Cross roads shows which people McCash thinks the streets are for.

I would support an inquiry if an equal amount of money was spent on helping young people who are going through this right now.

Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient. Some simple changes could make a big difference. But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help.

Last time I went, they’d built a kind of a wall /shield effort which covered up the back room of people sitting at their desks while the queue got longer and longer.

It does sound like she was trying to be helpful. I’m sorry you feel that’s weird.

I don’t think mentioning the precious Gilkes Crescent is very persuasive. It’s got a very long history of blocking itself off from the rest of the community with various reasons

well they are all very nice and definitely helpful to me.

It was an expensive council error to put another crossing in that area when there are busier roads with no alternative crossings nearby. On it is not an island? Well, it looks like an island. It acts like an island people use it as an island so I think that makes it an island. Aka a little safe spot where people with bikes canpause while waiting to make a safe right hand turn

Just wondering, what would you do with your bike when you got to Brixton tube?
