Afternoon


Just to inform you that we have finally started up our Ward Panel meetings and will be holding one on Wednesday 20/04/2022 at 18.30 at Christchurch on Barry Road. It would be great to see you there after such a long time. Please could you forward on this email to any of your contacts who live or work in Dulwich Hill.


Also we are running a smart survey (the link is on Twitter/nextdoor) we would like to get the resident views on what issues they are most concerned about so we can set the ward priorities at this meeting.


Thanks from the SNT.

Very disappointing turnout - myself, husband, 3 local residents, Councillor Maggie Browning, 3 members from the SNT,

Apologies from 2 other regular members. We met one of the new SNT officers for the ward (2 new constables were appointed) plus Simon our long standing officer.


People complain that police are not visible in the area, but seem reluctant to come to meetings `where they can air their views and be informed of crime statistics etc for the area.


Next meeting will be in July.

The timing of these meetings is very difficult for anyone with primary aged kids to attend though - 6:30 on a school night is tea time / bath / bedtime. I'm not saying a different time would definitely get more input, but maybe asking in a survey if people would attend if at a different time could be indicative? One of the good things for families and something that allowed greater engagement was actually more things being on zoom. Perhaps the future is a hybrid approach?

I have had an agenda and last Minutes via Neighbourhood Watch friend not living in my road, for Dulwich Village ward meeting of the team with Safer Neighbourhood Panel next Monday at the Dog. Public meeting presumably. Anyone ever been to the one for Village ward?


Goldilocks, if these meetings run on, I think it is important to start early, and after all, you could still turn up a bit later couldn't you?

    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
    • Can bet the Co Op is nearing its exit soon. At those prices you might as well buy at waitrose!
