Recently he has tended to get back on the forum in a flurry - answer immediate questions and add value where he can to other threads and then go quiet again. I believe he has a pretty full life - handling the forum (which does not form any part of his constituency 'duties') may well take a lower priority than his full-time work, his active councillor duties and his role as a family man. We are lucky that he and Councillor Hamvas (and Robin whilst she was on the Council and after) are so prepared to engage with the forum.

It's great to have an active and committed set of councillors. It is less than great that people rely on them to report stuff that could easily be done themselves via the website or phoneline. I know that sometimes it is correct to ask a councillor to get involved, but for some instances of cracked pavements/flytipping etc. it is really the responsibility of the person who witnesses it.

Condolences to Cllr. J B.

Ah, James. I'm sorry. It has to happen. But for that book to be forever closed -- it's tough, and I wish you luck in making your way through to the other side. My father still visits, in dreams, thirty years after his death. He's not done with me yet.

    • Thank you all SO much for the suggestions.  I didn't expect such a helpful and well considered response. Our plans changed and in the end I didn't try any of them but I certainly will in the future.  You don't know how grateful I am for the help.. The strain and effort involved in dining out because of the background noise really puts me off . I do have hearing aids but they aren't a great help. And in fact magnify many of them associated sounds in eating establishments.
    • Jafar lives up to his 5/5 reviews.  A great job well well done. Dismantled the boiler replaced the part and everything put back together and working.  I can only agree with all his excellent reviews.  
    • I know I shouldn't bite, but .... Would you like to give some  specific examples of exactly why you consider this orange faced  narcissist with the apparent  mental capacity of a gnat (that's probably being unfair to gnats) and a clearly rapidly declining memory  the "best US president of the last 50 years"?
    • Southwark Council has issued a response  on changes to planning in London, urging a rethink -    “We have significant concerns over plans to allow developers to build fewer affordable homes in London, and to cut developer contributions to local communities.   “Under current proposals, the fast-track threshold for planning applications in London would be cut from 35% affordable housing to 20%.   “The proposals would also cut in half the levy that developers currently pay when they build, which helps pay for much-need local community improvements.   “Today we have submitted our responses to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and Greater London Authority consultations and urged a rethink.”   Read the council’s response in full https://southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/planning/planning-policy-and-guidance/responses
