I would also be interested how you select, and approach a retailer and entice them to an area?

No to 20mph on MG. As others have stated, vehicles can hardly reach 20 let alone over 30mph! JB you are loading the question again to suit your own views and wishes like you do with certain planning apps, certain retail chains that you like, and anything that is anti car. Try being fair and balanced.

Oh sorry, thought you were advocating council doing works on private land. Isn't there a dulwich business group or something similar? Sounds right up their unevenly paved street to me.

Philippines/philippinos love spam too.

Most of that pavement area outside the shops is private and belongs to the successful businesses there so the tax payer should not pay for it. Let the money making shops pave their own areas. They could even work together.

I'd vote for two strikes and out, threes just seems too much. Any banning system should include not just the person or company that booked the pitch but also the named team. Otherwise a new 'booker' will be used each week n litter etc could still be left. Would also need someone to assess the pitch post match else how can it be said that Team A littered rather than a random group. Now I've typed this I don't think it's viable now no matter how good an idea. Oh well, a parkie with a litter picker it is then after matches, and the ignorant antisocial get away with it again. . .

1. Get tortoise to specialist vet before flies lay eggs in wound. 2. Are you sure it was the cat that did the tortoise and not a fox? 3. If cat then you need to scare it enough to stay away from your garden, whatever that may take 4. Build a "run" for tortoise incorporating bushes etc,and whatever size is needed. 5. F#?k the cat owning neighbours.

Report it to the parks dept EVERY time it happens. Tell Hamvas about it also and ask her to look into it (election coming up). LGooner - pathetic.

Thought you'd mispelled :-D and meant peckham bizarre, SE15

The council offices at tooley st is the 'town hall'. Didn't you know that rch? And conway have permanent staff there in the public realm team don't they'

Maybe CONways win "bids" because they have lots of permanant staff based in the town hall. How does a private company have staff in the town hall, surely thats unfair advantage/conflict of interest, rch? This also means that council tax payers are paying for a profit making private companys office space, paper, printing etc doesn't it?

They're called macerators. Only allowed them if you have existing flushing loo, not as only loo in a residence. Poor bloke, you must have known by his urgency that he needed to evacuate in a big way, and should have let him use the flush bog and you woudn't have a problem!

She was too nice to give away. If she was actually French then it won't be her, it would only be non EU bods. Free movement and all that.

You'll all be demanding the council spends it's money on firework displayr in Nov, Xmas tree lights in Dec etc etc. Never heard of austerity? Ring fencing. Try turning up at council meetings and asking for these 'essentials'!

But you have always wanted Waitrose om the Lane haven't you JB? Did you not start a thread 3 or 4 years ago trying to generate support for your plans? My memory tells me that you were slated on that thread for assuming this forum is representative of ED as you did not do any other 'consultation'. What is it about Waitrose that you have been pushing for it for years?

Hope you recover soon James. BTW, how did the accident happen? It wasn't a pedal hitting a speed hump was it?

A nappy factory

Visited the other evening. Summary: Chip portion size still too small. Bbq ribs just a little better than a fried chicken shops ribs. Brisket very small. Service polite but a tad slow. Food prices much too high for quality/portions size. Hope the chef covers his beard when in kitchen. I won't be visiting venue on a regular basis.

That really is > the stupidest thing I've read on here in a while - > and I've read buddog's posts. 99% pointless duplication of work/effort on this thread as all can be adequatley done via phone etc like the rest of Southwark residents do rather than use of a middleman. JB works no harder than other cllrs. Loz, go and post some leaflets, JB has asked for volunteers!

OMG. It's the 1st Oct! At least let Halloween pass.

Actually James Barber often digs at Labour, and the Labour lead authority that pays his wages/expenses. 99% of posts on this thread can adequately be dealt with by the poster ringing or emailing the council rather than using the middle man of JB. JB often pushes his own agenda such as CPZ etc, as well as stirring up opinion against certain planning applications that he does not like. JB also asks posters to copy him in on planning apps when posters contact the planning officer - this is unfair to the planning officer as it is a veiled threat that a local cllr is involved-if JB was genuine in this aspect he would ask for said emails to be forwardd to him not copied. JB also wastes a huge amount of council officer time in uneccessary work,and wasted associated costs. JB also thinks that EDF is the only voice of ED and forgets about the elderly and poor that can't afford/use the net. So all of this JB works tirelessly for ED is very one sided. JB may do good work at his case surgeries but it's all smoke and mirrors on here.

Isn't that the place James Barber tried to stop getting a licence to sell alcohol/open late?
