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!

      Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.

      I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
