I slipped on the grey/green matting surrounding the large wooden climbing frames at Goose Green Park on Friday morning and broke my ankle badly. Obviously not ideal at 32 weeks pregnant but I?m glad it wasn?t worse.


I have written to Southwark Council to warn them that this area is very slippy. If anyone one has slipped there, I?d be grateful if you could PM me.

Then it is clearly not fit for purpose, and they should change it.


ETA: Very sorry to hear about your ankle, OP.

Much as I think James was an excellent councillor, I think it's a bit unfair to expect councillors to pick up on every issue raised on the forum unless it's specifically brought to their attention!

klh this is awful for you.


You might consider getting some legal advice on this? If other people have sustained injuries then there is a good chance the council have already been advised of the risks. You have broken your ankle which is a significant injury......the fall being all the more concerning when pregnant. Liability?

Hi all


Thanks to both klh and ed26 for raising this issue with me - by private message and on my thread respectively. I'm pleased that I've been able to help.


For what it's worth, I try to look through the forum when I can but to make sure I don't miss anything important in have also turned on email notifications for private messages and posts on my thread. So if you need anything from me then one of those two options - alongside simple old fashioned email - is the best method.


Best wishes

James

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
