I would like to see much more charging points for electric vehicles around the borough, and better information on recycling.

And what do > you mean by informally? Hello Ianr, No I dont tell each of the other councilors that I have contacted each of them. Yes you are right, the parking service generally rejects appeals during the informal stage. This is the stage when you have made a challenge during the first 14 days when the opportunity to pay is at the 50% rate. The formal stage is when you receive the Notice To Keeper in the post. You requested i publish my figures, i did not know what that meant sorry.

Polling stations close at 10pm

Band B property council tax 2022 - 2023 Southwark council ?1240.20 wandsworth council (one of the cheapest council tax in the country) ?698.59 Lewisham council ?1413.07 Lambeth council ?1291.30

One of the services I would like to see changed is the delivery company medequip. They deliver equipment to children and adults who have a medical and/or health need. They are absolutely useless. Bring the service in house and get rid of this company who charges the local authority a fortune to deliver every single day, and makes vast profits.

be very careful with what date you renew. Southwark tend to reject most appeals informally. You can always check with parking directly and ask them which date to renew on 0800 1389081 I hate the fact we have a Controlled Parking Zone. I have seen no improvement, other than forking out ?130.00 a year (it use to be ?125.00 but the labour administration increase the charge this year). I hate parking permits :(

My deepest and sincere sympathies. My heart goes out to Barbra's nearest and dearest. Best of luck with the fund raising.

I don't take it personally, I know LTNs have been a huge issue for many councils, including Southwark. Its a shame we did not cover other local issues though, such as the amount of council tax we pay, adult social care, pot holes in roads, council housing repairs, libraries, playgroups, schools etc... (I am not suggesting there is anything wrong with any of these services).

I am sure there will be a hand-over period for good practice, not sure how this pans out with a change of party color. keep an eye on the results on Friday!!

You should of received your polling card by now, you could give them a call to check you are registered and the polling station you usually use is still the same (sometimes polling stations are moved to other locations). To check if you?re registered to vote, please contact Electoral Services on 020 7525 7373. Ring today as I suspect they will be very busy tomorrow

For me, i am just punishing Labour for introducing the CPZ when residents overwhelmingly voting against it when asked. I have always voted Labour, but not this time.

hello goldilocks, I dont have an answer to that one, sorry

48 hours and counting..... If you have a postal vote, have you sent yours off in the post yet?

I guess ltn'S are local issues for some. For me, the parking zone was a deal breaker, but there are many, many other issues which are important.

Thank you for posting this

I started this thread suggesting things are improving, but they still have a long way to go. I saw a poster in the nurses room asking those who are carers to come forward. I telephoned the surgery, the member of staff had no understanding of the poster and said she would come back to me with an answer, i never heard from her again. I emailed the surgery last month regarding joining their patient group. Did not get a response back :( I don't think they can cope with the demand to be honest. My grandads surgery is on the Walworth road. reception staff member knows his name and is really good. if you ask a question, she will get back to you the same day, I told her I wish she was at the TJ centre. The practice needs alot of improving to be honest!!

its nice to recognize when things go well :)

six days until d-day!!

I recently appealed my mums PCN for failure to display a blue badge in a disabled bay. I contacted all three of her councilors and received a response from parking to say the PCN had now been quashed. worth a try.

Thank you CPR Dave, most helpful
