I give a toss about Nunhead, I think it was the bible that said "Everybody needs good neighbours ... because neighbours become good friends" anyway, I'm working on http://www.nunheadforum.co.uk at the moment, a few technical problems but I'll let people know when it's ready

I apologise, it's just that you frequently mention about how Nunhead's been forgotten and ignored by councillors and you make it sound all doom and gloomy over there.

square root of none?

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just trying to find out what Nunhead needs and what action should be taken but it seems to be an ignored question. According to the gospel that is Wikipedia: "This neighbourhood presents an outward picture of calm, tree-lined streets, and has not been in the headlines as an area of concern" but AllforNun give the impression that its an inwardly collapsing shithole, how can that be stopped? Mind you it does have a pub called the Pyrotechnist's Arms and the Nun's Head so it does sound like the scene of fatal accident.

AllforNun, what action have you taken to help the area? And what further action do you intend to take to help the area?

hey AllforNun, what action have you taken to help the area? And what further action do you intend to take to help the area?

ahhh, I was thinking the other days that in the initial part of the strip (Goose Green end) it must be about a 70/30 ratio of food & drink establishments to other establishments. No need for another off licence.

shit (just seeing if shit was a blocked word but it's not, brendan faked it)

ok, ok, I'm going to suggest that all lost + found cat threads are in the Wanted/Offered section. I've changed the descriptive text to show this http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/index.php?4

yes, and it might give the responsible ones more back up when they have a go at the irresponsible ones in a "please pick up your dog's pooh otherwise people will complain and we'll lose this large dog exercise area" kind of way

My mum always tips the binmen and the postman at Christmas with a bottle of something, but then again she lives in the countryside and people are nice like that out there. If I had a regular postman who I knew by sight then I reckon I'd try and give him/her a Christmas gift.

hmmm, not sure. It's something to do with cookies and the database, too complicated for me to understand. I'm looking at moving the forum to the new upgraded software in the new year which will hopefully be faster and less "buggy" (although I think this one is pretty bug free unless you're definately searching for a special-ised new post)

I agree that there should be a dog pooh free area, my understanding is that there are the following options: 1) Keep it as is 2) Remove all the fences 3) Remove the current dividing fence 4) Replace the current dividing fence with a more aesthetically pleasing fence 5) Make the lower section (by the roundabout) dogs only, divided by a fence in-keeping with the perimeter fence. This was proposed by the council previously (see the attached PDF) (please note, this is my own list and I may have missed some options so please let me know if I have) I like option 5) but I also think that the temporary solution 3) is quite good so that after 6 months if/when people complain about the dog pooh everywhere the dog owners have no-one to blame except themselves (and their dogs) if a fenced off area is created. Although of course the ideal situation would be for it to be all open and no dog pooh left on the ground but that's not possible. Or is it?

I still don't know what NEDDIES are?

absolute rubbish Louisa, it has nothing to do with class. If you had ever attended one of the Goose Green public meetings (which were about more than just dog mess) then you would see that there was no class issue involved. I would encourage people to ignore that last post, it has nothing to with the Green, it's just a rant about class being a cause of dog pooh and therefore dilutes the real discussion about the fence. Please Mr Admin, if possible can you make sure this thread is not hijacked by irrelevant posts. Would a voluntary area for dogs work? E.g. Please try and keep dogs to (a designated and shown on a small map) side of the path

Blimey Libra! Sorry if you've been offended but *Bob* just asked why macroban had brought your other posting up and I answered him. I have no idea what you are on about when you say "take a deep look at yourself" etc etc in respect to this and like i say I apologise if you were offended by me pointing out the obvious. Merry Christmas

I've just received the following from Southwark Council and thought I would share it with you (in a nutshell, the green fence is to be removed for a trial period of 6 months) *************** Statement issued by Cllr Paul Noblet: It has become apparent that many local residents have been unhappy with the installation of the new fence that effectively divides Goose Green in two, with the design of new entrances into the space, and with the layout and design of signs and bins. The Council has consulted extensively on all of these issues. The majority view expressed through the questionnaire and at the public meeting was that the new fence should be removed and that the Green should not be sub-divided at all for a trial period. The Council has resolved to remove the fence for a trial period of six months. In arriving at this decision, the Council is trying to reconcile the (sometimes conflicting) views of various stakeholders and interests groups including people with children, dog walkers and local residents with an interest in the history and management of the Green. At the end of the six month trial period a further review will be undertaken. A further series of options will be considered, including (but not necessarily limited to) the installation of a new fence (in keeping with the current boundary fence) at a position to be agreed to create a dog exercise area. This will only be enforceable through the creation of a ?Dog Control Order? local to Goose Green to define how dogs and dog owners use the site. During the six month period and in order to inform its future decision, the Council will carefully monitor the use of the site including: ? The number of Fixed Penalty Notices being issued in respect of dog fouling ? The number of complaints received about the new layout and management of the site ? The Council will also instigate a number of responsible dog ownership initiatives over this period. If you wish to comment on these proposals, you can contact the Council through the following channels: E-mail [email protected] [email protected] (Parks and Open Spaces Manager) [email protected] (Community Outreach Officer, Parks) Paul Noblet, Acting Executive Member for Environment.

I'll be there about 8:30ish, my work Christmas party was last night so I'm feeling a bit tender.

My mum knows someone called Gay Burn
