I got one of these from Southwark Council with some guidance and information on the second lockdown.


First note for me is I've got an MOT on 10th November and that is not forbidden by law but not mentioned in the newsletter as a specific purpose to leave home. Any other stuff missed ?


Deliveries to outside my block are also going ahead.

JohnL as you say the legislation allows you to leave home to go to any business that is open or to pick up anything pre-ordered. The guidance from the Council covers the minimum.


Too long or complicated and people won?t read it so it could never cover everything. As some won?t even do the minimum which could mean extra restrictions for more for longer keeping it simple seems like a good approach.


The Council website has a link to the government guidance with more detail and I think that was on what came through the door. The government guidance covers more but runs to pages. How many have found and read it but read the two pages that came through the door?

Hope your MOT is booked in I called yesterday and they advised me to book for an MOT due in January. First available date 21 December.

Where is this newsletter? I don't want to chip in without knowing exactly what it says, and I can't find anything that looks like it or mentions it in any of the Covid-19 council emails I've received, or in the Keep Southwark Safe Campaign webpage https://www.southwark.gov.uk/health-and-wellbeing/public-health/for-the-public/coronavirus/keeping-our-borough-free-from-covid-19/keep-southwark-safe-campaign, apart from the references to the government's own guideline webpages.

Apologies for the quality of the scan - I scanned it on my phone.


This is what came through our door. Having read it again it doesn?t mention being able to leave for an MOT or provide the link for government guidance but it does say ?This includes? so isn?t intended to be complete.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
