Good point :))


Not wishing to upset any former customers of the Foresters, I'll go with the toilet option :))

Are we sure this is just going to be temporary?


And that it will actually disappear once the refurbishment is completed?


If so I'm less inclined to be (6) but I cynically suspect that once people have got used to it being there it could become a permanent feature .....

trizza & willard - exactly


it'll be fine and we'll miss it when it's gone* and bitching about how the Foresters under Greene King is rubbish


*well maybe not miss it, but given some of the eyesores in the area it's no big deal

to alleviate the cost of the scaffolding for future refurbishment


This is pseduo-bollocks. It's to make money. Let's be honest about it shall we rather than obsfuscate with mealy mouthed phrases like this.


And I'm all for covering scaffolding whilst building works are taking place. Why it can't be a plain coloured board or sheet is the question?


I have enough advertising everywhere as it is, I don't want to encourage more of it just because it's temporary. It's a ruddy eyesore.

No, Nimbys are people who don't want the facility, especially NOT in their 'back yard', ie neighbourhood, community.


People getting all hot under the collar about temporary advertising on temporary scaffolding? Pretty sad in my book.

You need to have some sort of safety mesh over the scaffold anyway because its on the main road, who gives a f**k what colour it is or what's written on it. It's temporary, while the scaffold is there. Get some perspective people.

Well I care.


Safety mesh is a totally different thing to some huge and hideous advertising billboard on two sides of a prominent building in East Dulwich's main street.


As somebody already said, we're surrounded by enough f*****g advertising in public places already.


And we don't as yet know how "temporary" it will be.

How about using it to name and shame, like this?

Could include suspicious people on buses, noisy cats, urinating footballers....


Btw I?m not being serious before anyone sends this to the Guardian ;-)

I bloody well hope not!! *cringe*

If you have a view tell council planning officers.


I have to remain neutral If I'm to sit on the planning committee that will decide this application. I have asked for it to be called in so that if officers were minded to grant permission under their delegated powers it will be decided by local councillors.


But the more people that express a view to council officials as given in the original post the more material the committee will have to consider.

It's just not for me. Don't like the beer, don't like the clientelle most of the time, really don't like the prices. I just really like Neil but that's about it!


Oh and I don;t like draft wine!

There's no point in doing anything until the application and associated papers are on-line. There'll then be a period of at least three weeks for making written representations, after careful consideration and, I hope, discussion: it's important to think carefully about the factors which the planning department can, or can not, take into account.

Damn - DC is correct. The old one, 11/AP/1705 was rejected. The new one, 11-AP-2953, is not yet on the Southwark planning site.


Back to the barricades, people...

The definition of a pyrrhic victory.

    • Is  the  decision by the High Court not to  deport an Eritrean man  to France on Wednesday anything other than a massive boost for Farage and reform. Farage has made a commitment for the UK to exit the ECHR which limits the independence of our justice system The UK Government’s “one in, one out” has failed at the first hurdle - just as the Rwanda scheme did under the Tories. To make it even more embarrassing is that the accommodation for deportees   in Rwanda paid for by the UK is now being used by the USA for its deportees. If we are to have Farage thrust upon us as a result of such judicial decisions, then God help us.
    • I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.
    • John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
    • You what???   Think you Should have gone to woodfalls 😁
