My (limited) understanding was:


a) BARA objected due to lack of consultation

b) If approved, the pharmacy COULD introduce the programme down the line without further consultation, even if there is no plan to do so at present.


Have I gotten this wrong amid so much flying about?

There was a guy on Northcross Road on Saturday with a petition for this. He had a table set up outside the Chemist there. Nice bloke and explained himself well. Maybe it was him? Maybe he's just got the wrong end of the stick as well and it wasting all of this campaigning time on something that was never going to happen.

I like the sentiment snorky but petitions are useless.


The tend to be exercises in helping the disenfranchised to feel engaged. Unlike the angry mob locals, people on the receiving end of petitions normally understand that it is possible to have a range of views on any given subject, that's why they're appointed to make decisions. That's not to say it's a good thing that petitions are ignored, just that they are.

    • I hear that Landells Road has had a spate of parcels being taken,
    • In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him
    • Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).
    • Aria came round a couple of weeks ago to take a look at a radiator that wasn't working properly. He did a fabulous job, and was very generous with his time and his expertise. We will absolutely look to him again for any plumbing needs.
