hello everyone, where shall i start??? i guess i should begin by saying that major works started on my property in north dulwich back in may 2015 when i was told that they would usually take 4 to 5 weeks to complete and what a joke that has become as saltash are still in my property today finishing this work which now consists of mainly rectifying their mistakes. they have been in an out of my property for 2 years, sometimes not turning up and not answering or returning my calls for months on end, namely winter months when the bosses seemingly go to ground in hot countries as they have turned up again in the spring very bronzed and when asked about this, they claim to have acquired said suntan in their garden, bull***. i have had all the above mentioned issues and many more. i am living with a chronic pain condition and i have to use a wheelchair, i have a low immune system and i am unable to look after myself properly. i am adding this info as saltash left me for the whole of last winter with large gaps in the windows in my bedroom. this made me so ill that i had to stay with my brother on and off for weeks on end to boost my immune system, my expensive curtains are covered in mildew and it has been so stressful that i have become depressed. i complained to southwark back in jan this year and one of mr mike balfour's team, craig partridge has been trying to help rectify saltash's shoddy work. craig has also taken over the job of dealing with their lack of professionalism which includes no shows, non communication and lies, as well as the awful standard of work. so here we are, 5 months along the line after my complaint was made to southwark and i can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. today, saltash have sent along d&s (another contractor) to make good their previous shoddy work and i am hoping that by next week they will be out of my place for good. i decided to do a search this morning to see how others have been affected by saltash's blunders which lead me here. my personal opinion is that saltash are worthy of a rogue traders award and how and/or why southwark have contracted them to take on the job of making us warm, dry and safe is beyond me as they do not have the professionalism or workmanship to build a rabbit hutch. i have received compensation from southwark council for the damage to my curtains and i have been promised compensation from saltash for the stress and inconvenience they have caused me. i will be pushing for a far greater sum than has been suggested by them and if they are not willing to comply, i will be seeking advice from a solicitor. i am very willing to be part of a group to combat these people. what gives them the right to treat us with such contempt???

This is a free event for isolated people in East Dulwich and the surrounding areas. Myself and Nick are organising this event as we have both been through times of isolation and loneliness in our lives and we feel very passionate about helping other people who are living with the same issues. We have realised from sharing our experiences that there are many people out there who feel just like us. The elderly, single people, mothers and fathers looking after young children whilst their partners are out at work all day and many, many others. You may need help filling in forms, you may need advice about certain things or you just might want to see a friendly face now and again or have someone to talk to and share with. The way it is right now, there are suicides, mental breakdowns and crime, as isolated people feel excluded from society. If nothing is done then this will continue. There are not many support groups out there so we are hoping that this event will bring people together to find new friends and to know that they are not alone and we may be able to save a marriage or even a life but we know we will definitely be having some fun. The event is in the function room at the back of The Herne where there is a lovely garden so weather permitting we can sit outside. It will only be a success if you come along and bring your friends too. If you or anyone you know are in some way touched by the nature of our event or you or any of your friends are faced with isolation or loneliness then we need you to be there. Vintage Pretty's of East Dulwich have very kindly donated tea, coffee and biscuits for us. We are also running a free raffle for everyone who comes. We are hoping that a couple of local celebrities will be there to mingle with us and we also hope to have a local newspaper person there to report the success of our event. Hope to see you there! Love Frarnie and Nick...

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Jo Brand? Or do we have any other well known or famous people living in Dulwich? We are organising a special free event for local people and would like to ask someone for some support. We will be posting full details of this event in the next couple of days. All help greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance ♥♥♥
