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

    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....
