Send us your examples.


Here's a few of mine:


1) They bang on about recycling but send you your communications in window envelopes which they say they can't recycle.


2) They sent me consultation papers asking for opinions on a cycle lane on the SE15 east side of Peckham Rye 4 years ago. Must have cost them a lot to ask people's opinions when they probably had their minds set anyway, but guess what. Nothing happened anyway. Today got sent another set of consultation papers and they said that last time nothing happened because they ran out of money. a) wouldn't it be best to send out consultation papers AFTER they're sure they have the money and b) maybe the cost of sending out consultation papers is WHy they ran out of money.


3) They have built a whole load of well built garages on our estate but have done nothing to advertise them for rent at ?9.38 a week each. Call Jason Huggins on 020 7525 5000 (yes, call centre) and ask him if you're interested.


Your turn.

I am no particular supporter of the Council, but the examples given are hardly examples of large scale incompetence.


Southwark still has many social problems: poor public housing, poverty, violence that all impact on the level of service they need to provide.


They may fail to advertise garages and leave consultation papers on cycle lanes to rot. maybe they have more pressing concerns.

Oh there are plenty of other examples, I was just starting a ball rolling but it's hit another traffic angering roadhump! (They dont calm traffic!)

Of COURSE one can rip the plastic bits out of envelopes, and I do. But they're more expensive and they put stickers on top of the envelopes a lot of the time anyway.

And we do need to attract good talent in a competitive market but the quality of some of the staffe beggars belief. Sheer stupidity seems to be a necessary quality to get jobs there. One of the housing officers at Bournemouth Road recently told me that Kim Humphries has changed things so that a qualified experienced housing officer now can't even raise repairs on anything. And none of the workers are allowed to personalise their offices. I had to go to registry office recently and the officers aren't allowed to put pictures on the walls or photos on their desks. It's awful. Why would anyone want to work in those circumstances. So those that put up with it deserve respect of course. But so many of their colleagues are really - well - incompetant.

Yeah - Southwark Life! There's even a magazine called SE15 - what a waste. So untruthful. But like Notting Hill the film was about Notting Hill. Totally unrealistic about Notting Hill!!

Back to bed.. back to reality. Who wrote that?

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
