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.

    • 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…
