Hello,

Does anyone work for, or know anyone who works for Southwark Council?

I have a community audio project proposal for the Council and they're very hard to get in touch with!

http://www.wordplayeducation.co.uk/ - I co-run audio, podcast & radio projects for children & adults in ED and would love to get a large-scale community arts project underway for a little Christmas idea I have!

If you have a contact name/number/email address, I'd be really grateful!

Thank you!

Zoe (& Leon)

Good Lord! Seriously? I mean seriously?

Seriously. What's the problem?

[Otta]

Ignore Grok.

Have you tried Cllr Barber on here?

[Zoe TB]

No but maybe I will. Thank you!

I've just found an email address for Southwark Arts Team and Community Southwark so may give them a try.

Thanks a lot!

You want to provide a service to/via the local authority yet you do not have the wherewithal to be able to contact the local council! So you ask if anybody works for them! And you expect them to take you seriously?

[Grok]

Ignore Nutta.

I suspect Cllr Barber has more than enough to do rather than looking up a phone number.

Did you actually read the OP Grok. Where does it say the OP hasn't tried to find a contact? She was simply asking for a heads up on the right person to go to, not asking for people to look up numbers for her. You really are an ass.

[Elphinstone's Army]

No he isn't an ass but exasperated as any normal person would be by a request for info suggested by the OP, embarrassing in its delivery. BB you are enabling a person who cannot sort herself out. " O wait a moment, I will just google that for you........" this thread as many others, is replete with show offs, problem solvers and know all's.... and infantilisation of hapless requests.

The problem Zoe is that your problem , like a child's, is hoisted, foisted, and declared onto others,

because you do not have the wherewithal to contact the correct department yourself, , but want others here to do it for you - like a child - and will never be taken seriously whilst you allow the EDF do gooders to do your thinking for you, thus not only infantalising you but diminishing any clout you might possibly have had pre post.

[Elphinstone's Army]

seriously, are you 12 yoa ?

[Blah Blah]

Wow Elphinstone. Please forgive us for not understanding yours and Grok's inability to let people be. Get over yourselves. You don't have a divine right to tell people what to say, write or think, let alone to be rude about it.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Mm. I confess to a sneaking sympathy for EA, who has at least explained their viewpoint clearly rather than just trolling like Grok.

This is the OP's second thread in a few days asking people on the forum to do something for her without apparently making much effort herself and together they did strike me as a bit childish, but no law against using the forum as a labour-saving device I guess.

[Blah Blah]

I just think it's better to say nothing at all sometimes Robert, if one can't say something helpful. Assumptions can also be tricky. People are not equally resourceful. Sometimes it's better to be kind than judgemental.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Fair comment.

It might advice you'd be better taking Grok, then there would be no need for I or anyone else to call you out on your attitude would there?
