Hi Sue,

Currently the North Cross Road market officially operates on Fridays as well as Saturdays. So a number of people have been fined for parking in areas reserved for market stalls that are never placed of come on Fridays. Rosie and I have been nagging officers for a couple of years now to remove those parking restrictions and suggested they expand the market on Saturdays.

Yes, Fox.


I'm sure you are really well known to the council as somebody who might object.


I'm sure for every consultation they spend hours researching who not to send letters to in case they might object.


Lord give me strength, for the second time this morning :))

Thanks James.


Is it too late to get the wording of the survey amended to make this clearer?


I had to leave it to come back to later, though like JW above I answered that question as best I could while saying I didn't understand it!

Well, having (as I thought) saved the survey to complete later, as there was an option to do, when I went back to complete it (before the closing date of 31 January) there was nowhere on the site that I could find to retrieve it.


So I contacted the council officer concerned, and he couldn't find it either. Nor could he find any completed surveys (before anybody gets worried, it - eventually - turned out that there were 95).


Long and tedious story short, after many many emails and phone calls between us, I eventually had to start the whole thing again and complete it via an emailed Word document. Which was tonight. Well after the closing date now, but I have been assured that it will be included.


A few things: First, if you completed a survey online, you might want to check that it was actually retrieved to be included in the analysis.


Second, apparently the website is run by some outside company - either the whole thing or just the part with the surveys on.


Third: Given that I was able to save a partially completed survey but not to retrieve it, there seems to be something wrong with the website which this outside company needs to address.


Fourth: Given the length of time it took to sort this out (after a fashion) might the council think it would be a good idea to train any of their people who are dealing with online surveys so that they know, for example, how to access the relevant data?


I'd be interested to know if anybody else has had any similar problems, as originally I was told there had been ten emailed responses.


ETA: Just to add that the council officer concerned was extremely helpful, just didn't seem to have the technological know-how required, which is hardly his fault.

Rather than self raising bollards should the council also consider making Nutfield and archdale no through roads on a permanent basis, especially if they are putting in turning circles at the end.

Yes, I do - they were installed at the end(s) of Rye Lane, there was a huge amount of publicity before they became operational, a few people tried to follow buses over the lowered bollards, the bollards rose up promptly, the cars were damaged, the South London Press seemed to take the side of the car drivers and the council sadly (I think) abandoned the bollards.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
