What's the criteria ( out of interest ) . You might be better off asking the appropriate ward councillor directly. They might not see your question otherwise.

Thank you. I have asked the same question of Cllr Dr. Hamvas of Peckham Rye ward on her profile thread

Cllr Barber Is this property/issue a part of your ward as I am unsure if the ward boundary which apparently runs along Crystal Palace Rd separates East Dulwich Ward and Peckham Rye Ward puts responsibility to you or your neighbouring councillors? Also in who's ward is the Dulwich Sports Centre in? Please would you clarify

The reason I ask is that I have very recently agreed a new one year contract for 50Mb/s BB only for ?22.25 Per Month for six months then ?25.25 for the remainder of the contract period. Just wondering how that compares to yourself and others?

Could you say which package you're on. Is it BB only?

'When I complained about lost items and not agreeing to the prices, I was sent a nasty "without predjudice" letter saying I had agreed their terms and should have discussed prices. I had tried to but the person was always "doing valuations and would call back" .... I wasn't given any estimates to discuss, only a short phone call before they shut one friday to say they were selling some items saturday morning'. You mention lost items. Was a full inventory taken that you received a copy of, especially of the more noteworthy pieces and what prices that were agreed to were not kept to? PM me if you wish

Good idea Robert Poste's Child If they are able to be burned in the green like Ash wood then perhaps donate them to Dog kennel Hill adventure playground. They put on a very good bonfire party.

and both are free?

I have been given three numbers to contact Virgin Media customer services recently. 01506804297 or 08000521920 or 150 I have yet to find one that is free from a mobile, (even a virgin mobile) Does anyone have a Freephone number?

Thanks for your reply. The outage rate per day I have recently been offered is 0.89p for a 12 hour period between 22.00 to 10.00 I remember though quite recently the day outage rate was ?5. I specifically recall this because I was told by a supervisor level member of staff that a junior would be scolded for offering me ?8 per day outage discount. It may be that the rate differs according to your package although clearly the inconvenience is the same if you have no or an unacceptable level of service

Sorry, how much discount per day are you being offered?

Try them.

Do either Cllr Dr.Hamvas, or Councillors Edwards or Cllr Mills have designated help threads here like Cllr Barber? Thanks

Hi James Could you advise me if a T&RA (Tenants and residents Association) has a requirement to have a formal complaints procedure, being a voluntary organisation? Thanks
