Wot, like the first post on this thread ?


"There is concern that this will attract drug users to the area, affecting safety (particularly at night) and leading to an increase in anti-social incidents. Others areas which have had pharmacies with similar services opened, have seen a rise in drug addicts present, used syringes discarded on to the streets and trouble caused by the people present. "


BARA wrote that... but who is BARA ?

To those of you that were expecting this story to appear in this weeks Southwark News...


I apologise, as it will not. We had to pull it due to a number of stories breaking on deadline day that took a precedence, It is online at www.southwarknews.co.uk...


Once again, sorry for that.


Please feel free to call me at the office on 020 7231 5258 with any comments or queries...

"sweeping insults of academia in general" coming from you ....well what can I say....how's your love for Peckham ?


Ted


As for academia I am confused, are you saying that you get a qualification and are then not swayed by any form of peer pressure or politics....is that what you are honestly trying to tell us ?

Charmingly put, but you are probably right that this issue has lost its momentum - largely due to the fact that a mutually acceptable solution has now been reached.


The fact is however, that this thread has attracted (as far as I can tell from browsing) more views and postings than any other on the EDF. The only ones that come anywhere near are: New Secondary School, Attempted Abduction and Cafe Nero and they are way behind.


People have been able to hear about and discuss this issue in a way that, whatever the best endeavours or intentions could ever have been of the PCT or any other organisation seeking to consult, would not have been possible by a normal letter posting exercise.


This is a good thing I think. I also tend to the view that the discussion on the EDF has been more balanced and representative of the community at large than is usually the case at public meetings or at the community council.

TedM and Maurice


Dr Jane you well educated friend recently quoted in the Southwark News " I am glad that the other pharmacies have agreed to stay open longer to serve the NEEDS of the community in regards to the needle exchange'


Blimey would you believe it your whole "Except that the PCT's Dr jane Fryer, medical director of the Primary Care Trust (I know, she's probably a real ignoramus, huh?) is on record as saying there is no need for a service" argument collapses into oblivion, shame it does not take your patronising clap trap with it........NEEDS being the key word.....just incase you can't see through all your sht isht er ......straw

Having seen off the threatened competition by the DMC, how many of the local pharmacies have now increased their opening hours to compensate for the local community not getting a 100-hour pharmacy? How many of them now open on Sundays?

The pharmacist on Northcross rd is still rubbing his hands with glee as he was very worried that he may lose business if that pharmacy at Dulwich Medical Centre were to open and did he have something to do with the petition i wonder?

    • That a shocking story.  Spurs?  You appear to be lost.  Haringey is very much the other side of the river.  
    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again. 
    • Double In New or great condition  Or super comfortable air bed Any1 pls
    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
