Hi Sue, Just spotted your request for help. I've just asked.

Hi Simon/littlek1cker, I think you've run away with yourself in your posts penultimate sentence. For clarity the Haberdashers' bid for a new school already has significantly more local support than needed to make a bid for a new free secondary school. The Habs bid has now moved on from collecting names - although more are always welcome - see www.newschool.org.uk - and onto making the expected 150 page submission. A Habs led public meeting will also take place with date yet to be finalised. Hi bawdy-nan, Please lets all move on from past comms and actions.

Hi monica, Yes, The Dulwich Society were really helpful when I asked if they could make this application. Wierdly Southwark Council refused the application despite three other such police station in other local authorities having been so listed. Fortunately after a lot of lobbying the site was sold for a new school rather than any other use. Hi kimling, Yes The Harris Federation now own the site.

Haberdashers' Aske's Federation CEO has issued this letter: http://www.haaf.org.uk/Mainfolder/knights-academy/documents/Letter%20to%20Parents%203rd%20June%2014.pdf Curious why Private Eye published its article last week rather than last year. Hi Biped1, Not sure why you think this dodgy accounting when they've properly accounted for fraud and taking rational actions around it. Hi Mugglesworth, Not sure who's being gung ho. Habs seem measured in how they've acted on this and how they've responded to Private Eye.

It probably helped that they had taken up a double market pitch immediately outside the shop.

Hi first mate, steveo, We lost the local electionfor control of Southwark resoundingly. In our main manifesto we had lots for older people. Locally in East Dulwich older people were very clear their priority to us was a Police base. Which is why we included it in our local promises. Then they said cleaner streets. Our six to fix was edited by SE22 to five local promises. The missing one is a new local cinema.

OK. But if a service fails escalating it to a councillor who then asks what the systemic failure was can improve the service and reduce costs - as well as get a resident the service they should have experienced to begin with.

The Southwark Clinical Commissioning Group - GP's in Southwark - have defined what they want delivered at the Dulwich Community Hopsital site. This was informed by GP views and another consultation process with the public etc. The upshot of that is they need around 5,100m2 of floor space + 100 car parking spaces whch would occupy around 2,200m2. The site is just over 27,000m2. Hope this helps.

Yes, Nigello you'd hope so!

Hi sue and Giacomelli, Please PM or email me with your addresses and I will get this escalated and sorted. This is no the levee lot service you should expect.

Hi ianr, it is hard to imagien 5 new flats not having a parking impact. And we know from other schemes that developers traffic consultants make unbelievably optomistic reports about this. Hi worldwiser, technically those roof terraces are already there. But clearly the hours they're likely to be used by offices are much less likely to impact residents than homes.

Thanks Strae and everyone else's good wishes. I was asked several weeks ago if I could find out primary school admissions maximum distances. Please see attached related to LA controlled schools. I've also the ratio of applicants to places allocated as well.

Hi Worldwiser, I am horrified that the council consulted with NO neighbours to this site and the application for 5 new flats above Foxtons. That they've granted permission based on no neighbours being consulted is appalling. I didn't spot any notice left on lamp posts in the area. I believe the only recourse now is a Judicial Review to remove this permission. I don't have the resources to fund this. I have email Gary Rice the dept head who signed this under delegated powers asking why no neighbours were consulted. Did anyone see notices on lamp posts in the area?

It isn't just about a living wage but living hours as well. Some companies pay living wage rate per hour but then limit the hours to 30 pw to minimise their tax, NI and pension costs. 30 x ?8.80ph for London isn't that much to live on.

And the council pruning can be hideous if really overgrown. When the council contact home owners if flats in s subdivided house it can go horribily wrong. Which flat is responsible for the front or side gardens? if they assume flat A is responsible and serve a letter giving them two weeks to clear over grown vegetation but actually it was flat B... A couple of caseworks files where this happened. Neighbours ignored the letter and they didnt have a garden to be overgrown but didnt think to pass to other flat. Council pay expensive contractor to cut things back. Bill sent to flat who suddenly do pass letter on... Please please please do keep hudges, trees, etc cut back.

I was talking to Chris last Thursday and Saturday. He didnt mention anything about gonig back into the shop. So please buy your fruit and veg from local outlets such as this now market stall or SMBS

As ward councillors we've called in this planning decision to be decided by a planning committee of councillors IF planning officers would recommend approval. The call-in was confirmed 24 March and either planning officers will refuse the application under delegated powers OR it will go to a planning committee if officers recommend approval. Hope this helps.

Next week we'll transfer the details of all the supporters we've collected to the Haberdasher's Aske's Federation. We've collected 575 and Habs over 70 so far. SO we're well over 600 supporters for a new secondary school. Thanks for everyones support. And people can still register via www.newschool.org.uk for another week.

Certainly no consultations underway about this or recently closed:http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200024/consultations/1703/petitions

Let me take a look after tomorrows election.

Hi hazwald, Let me ask and come back you.

Just to confirm that the East Dulwich ward surgery tomorrow evening at 7pm is CANCELLED. The venue is the East Dulwich Community Centre which is a polling station and the polling station takes precedence. But if anyone has any issues or problems let us know and we'll organise a home visit.

Hi jLO, I raised your sofa collection with council officers. Apparently you'd also mentioned it to your College ward councillors both of whom raised it with officers as well! Collection made, officers working out what went wrong.

Junction of Grove Vale with Melbourne Grove. The road is in a terrible condition. Due to the danger to cyclists officers have agreed to make patching temporary repairs and in the very near future permanent resurfacing on this area of Grove Vale.

Hi SebsC, The Garden Centre plot does include Railway Rise. The three houses and builder merchants have right of way. I'm afraid I don't know if parking restrictions can be enforced especially if someone is still in their car. I suspect not.
