Hi, hoping someone can help.

I received a letter from Southwark council saying I would receive a cheque for ?88 and some pence due to the water charges refund, and this is the confusing part.

The end of June I saw a credit of ?92 on my rent statement , but as I was ?5 in arrears, it took it down to ?88 and some pence, but around two weeks I saw a debit of ?88 on my rent statement, which means I now have ?70 on my rent account this week, but I paid enough rent to make sure I wouldn't have to pay until next week.

I called someone from the rent team and he did try and explain but I really didn't understand.

I was just wondering if anyone could help, as I feel that the council haven't actually refunded me any money, as it seems that they credited my rent account then debited it weeks later.

Thank you

hi there the way it works with Southwark council os it puts the money on to your rent account minus the arrears then debits the lesser amount back out of the rent account, basically the balance minus the amount will be sent out to you in a cheque. Its a really odd way to do it but southwark never do anything in a normal fashion................hope it helps

    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
