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.

    • It's also possible that someone is hand feeding foxes and encouraging them by this to approach others. I have heard of foxes attacking young children (if only anecdotally) but not adults. They do seem to attack cats. 
    • I've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.
    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
