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.

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
