Hi,

Would anyone know who to contact at Southwark Council regarding the Playground area at the bottom of Upland Road and Friern Road?


Currently there is a nice space for kids to play - my flat backs onto this and I do get a couple of footballs a week landing in my garden of which I'm happy to kick back to the kids!


However, sometimes they do try and climb into my place and scale the wall to get into neighbours properties to retrieve balls which could be dangerous.


My concern now is the council are now putting up basket ball nets at the back of my place which I guess will increase the amount of lost balls !


I was wondering if Soutwark Council should speak to residents before going ahead with this - the playground area is large and it would make sense to put the nets away from the residential properties ? Then the kids can have fun and there will be less lost balls and kids climibing into gardens. Any idea who I could talk to ? thanks!

      Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.

      Be careful in local shops

      Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.

      Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
