Hello all, I thought I would give you a update. I went onto the http://forums.pepipoo.com/ I spoke to a few people, some people were shocked i received a fine a day after the expire date as many councils give 7 - 14 days after an expire date. My luck might be in though. The CEO used code 12 on the parking ticket, which is for someone who has not paid for their parking. The code the CEO should of used is code 19, an expired permit. I have to wait for the Notice to keeper first. Fining after one day, if parking is not money making this is a clear example it is. I will be raising a complaint once i have sorted all this out.

I have had candidate information from the Labor Party for the Goose Green Ward. Strange, as my ward is rye lane

Has anyone received any leaflets / information on what our new prosed councilors would do?

I received a email from Southwark parking at approx. 5am today informing me i now need to wait for the Notice of Keeper, and told the parking services can not engage with me further. where is the common sense? I sent the response to one of my councilors :(

Hi TWB, care to share why you will be voting conservative, and is this the usual party you vote for?

yes, parking certainly don't seem to have much room for common sense, I mean, its not exactly a deliberate attempt to not pay for parking, but a simple error. I appreciate traffic wardens might not be able to see this information, but if a motorist had payed for a virtual permit on 31st March, and the permit expires on 30th March and then has another virtual permit starting 1st April, would common sense not prevail? why cant these council officers in parking understand this? Following the three emails I sent separately to my local councilors, I was copied into an email which read: Dolezal, Nick To: Members Enquiries ,Rose, Catherine ,Bruce, Caroline Please find attached regarding a confusion over an issued parking ticket. It would appear that parking services have said that is both issued correctly and incorrectly when it was challenged by Trinidad - and then it was stated that it was issued between one permit ceasing and another starting - a matter of two hours. Surely as there has been no intention to avoid parking fees this ticket should be waived All the best N I am hoping to receive a response from Parking Services very soon, I will keep you posted.

LD's seem to have my vote at thew moment!!

Excellent idea goldilocks, I have already emailed during the reduced time frame to southwark parking, I did some research of my local councilors, and emailed all three separately, copying in southwark parking in each email. I gave a brief explanation, informed each councilor this is not what the fines were designed for, and requested southwark parking to place the charge on hold until I receive a response. I wonder if any of the councilors would respond? I have already received a altermatic response from one councilor informing me he is on leave, so this leaves the remaining two labor councilors left. One of them is the deputy leader, so this might help :)

This might help voters to decide: https://www.southwarklabour.com/#news https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/ https://www.dwnconservatives.com/sites/www.dwnconservatives.com/files/2022-04/Southwark%20Manifesto%202022%20FINAL.pdf https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/local-elections-2022-southwark-tories-release-election-manifesto/ https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/comment/southwark-labour-releases-its-manifesto-building-on-our-record-of-delivery/ https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/local-elections-2022-southwark-local-election-manifestos-released-what-do-labour-and-lib-dems-propose/

I have to admit, my reasons of considering LD is also the poor consultation of the parking fisasco from labour, so i am with you on that one.

Hello CPR, I am considering LD also, but curious to know have you always voted for them?

Thank you goldilocks. The fine is ?130..0 (reduce to ?65.00 if paid in 14 days).

yes to what?

blue bin missed on Wednesday 6th April, just logged the mis collection on the councils website and it asks, did we miss the blue bin collection on Thursday 7th April??? Telephoned environment who assured me my normal recycling blue bin collection is wednesdays each week and has not been changed. I have logged the mis appointment on their website. The last time I reported such an incident with the food waste, the council ridiculously emailed back to say the crews could not find the food caddy - strange as the food caddy is sits in the same place each week. I do not rate trhe service at all- - Copleston road

I would be keen to hear your response regarding the NTO challenge and your councilor. The councilor may do something, especially as we are only weeksd away from the local elections

hello ant12, how are you taking things furthewr?

good suggestion ruffler, did you get a response back?

Just renewed my annual virtual permit the other day. Renewed permit online, got a ticket :( telephoned to ask why, told it was a mistake and to write in. Wrote an email, after a week told I did not have a valid permit. Telephoned again, told my old permit expired on 30th March and my new permit started on 1st April. Got a ticket for the 31st March :( Told to write in again. Sent another email explaining it was a genuine mistake. I am sure it will not go anywhere, parking has always been a excellent revenue maker for councils. I hat the fact we have a permit zone, my one has only been in operations for a few years, made no difference other than ?130.00 lighter each year in my pocket :( already stopped the garden waste permit of ?40.00 :(

On Thursday 5th May we once again went to the polls to vote for the administration of our local council. Did you vote for the previous administration??? Did you change the way you voted? Are you happy with the outcome in Southwark? https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/2022-southwark-local-elections-the-results-in-full/

Thank you everyone for your contributions

These include: roofs foundations external doors, walls and windows drains, gutters and outside pipes chimneys and stacks (you're responsible for sweeping chimneys) brickworks major plastering repairs floors and ceilings installations for water, electricity and gas (including wiring, sockets, fittings, internal pipes and valves) Can anyone kindly help?
