"I'd like to be able to speak to the staff I'd like to speak to when phoning the council, instead of having to speak to call centre staff who can't do much more than take a message."


Yes, but then the staff that you were after would spend their whole time taking calls and not being able to actually do their job. I understand the frustration, but as a LA worker (not southwark) I can understand why the call centre type system is a necessary evil.

The immediate and compulsory lopping off, chopping down or otherwise eradicating of any and all branches, boughs, bushes and leafy twigs that stray into the area of pavement designated for pedestrians by even an inch - especially those that drop down from above. If I want to walk through a fucking forest I'll go and find a fucking forest.

In a 'guilty until proven innocent' kinda fashion?


Kiera I think you may simply misunderstand what pollarding is about with London Plane trees. It's not because the tree surgeons are underfunded, lazy or stupid.


Pollarding at 3 to 6 year intervals keeps trees leafier, denser, younger, less threat to houses or passers-by and allows them to live much much longer. It limits root spread and damage to foundations.


I can see you have an instinctive born free let nature take its course approach, but you're wrong on this one - and I'm sure that I've explained this to you before.


So I guess you may not have been listening then, and probably won't listen now ;-)

Hell yey-ah. Alternatively, just fund a chainsaw for me and I'll take care of it.


A ban on heaters outside pubs, and all pubs provided with blankets for smokers instead.

    • We are looking for a new home for a beloved pet cat, Pip. Pip is an 11-year-old female. Later this year we are relocating to Australia. The long journey, along with a likely move into a busy household with young children, wouldn’t be right for her — so we’re hoping to find her a child and pet-free home where she can feel settled and loved. Pip is affectionate and enjoys company, particularly sitting on your lap or curling up at the end of the bed. She has spent most of her life with outdoor access but is also comfortable indoors and uses a litter tray when needed. She’s small in size and in good health. Her slightly puffed lower lip gives her a unique and endearing look. If you’re looking for a calm, cuddly companion, Pip might just be your cat. If you’d like to meet her, please contact me to arrange a visit. I can also be contacted on  07900 671 018 Thank you 
    • There was also one on Goose Green. I have no idea if it's still there.
    • Not just NX Rd  there are other Community notice boards i.e Sainsbury's Local, Charter School/Tessa Jowell Centre. I check the Sainsbury's one when I think about it and remove any old/outdated notices. This is not locked - so anyone can post.
    • Yes, that's a great idea, but the companies online seem to be very cagey about costs, which implies it would be more than I would be willing to pay. And If it was a cheap "collect and shred" service, being cynical, I would assume that actually the shredding probably wasn't going to happen 🤣
