It'll be a Conways contract - they are using the Emperor's New Grit - you simply show your lack of culture and intellectual appreciation by not being able to see it.


I suspect most of the bus routes are actually Southwark rather than the Highways Agency (that might be the South Circular) - anywhere which is rated at 30mph is Highways, I'd guess, the other is Southwark. And yes, in the case of one of the most heralded 'cold snaps' of all time to miss out on gritting must veer into a criminal lack of responsibility. Although of course the north of the borough may have been fully gritted.

This is just crazy and ridiculous. It?s winter, snow happens. Why the hell were main artery roads not gritted? Anyone from Southwark around to help and answer questions?


Also, it?s not much snow, why aren?t the drivers able to clear what?s already fallen?


Pathetic.

but given Southwark's penchant for neglecting front-line services when the Tories are in power- that is probably the real reason for no grit....'government cut-backs' as they quote with monotonous regularity.

I have just had a very angry exchange with someone on the Southwark Council switchboard. My questions were not answered because I was, and I quote ?talking to the wrong department?. I kid you not.


You have to press a thousand buttons before you get a chance to speak to a real person, and then they have no idea who you should speak to about something as important as grittting during a spell of cold weather. Unreal. Meanwhile, council tax goes up for another year and we are expected to just accept it


I am furious, and I?m not even leaving the house today.

Monotonous regularity? Oh the irony...

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I agree but in the case of McAsh, that would just have left his constituents without a councillor for 3 months until the May elections. MPs switching parties is really galling. If an MP is suspended for law breaking etc., then a recall petition can be issued and, if enough of the constituents support it, a by-election is called. I think the same should apply for defectors.

      Interesting discussion point @Moovart, should they wait till the next election or should it trigger an immediate by-election so the post is not left empty ?  Your concept is logical and may have the added effect of swaps, lke the Premier league, only happening in a defined transfer window just before each election.

      I think if a councillor or an MP switches party then they should resign their post and wait until the next election before they can stand again.  If a constituent voted for a person because of their party affiliation rather than for the person themselves, which I suspect is the most common vote, then that vote has basically been taken from the constituent by the councillor's or MP's defection.
