Hi all


Thank you to everyone who voted in yesterday's local elections.


Thanks to your support, Cllr Charlie Smith and I will continue on as your Goose Green Labour Councillors, joined by Portia Mwangangye. I know I speak for all three of us - and our Labour councillors across Dulwich and Southwark - when I thank you for putting your faith in us. Across the Dulwich area, Labour Councillors have been returned by significant margins. In Goose Green, 57% of the votes cast were for Labour.


Whoever you voted for, or if you did not vote at all, we are here to represent you. So do feel free to drop us an email if there is anything that we can do.


Best wishes

James

Ah Cllr McAsh - we have been expecting you! ;-) Welcome back.


Congrats on your victory. Many of us are very much hoping that you, and your fellow victorious councillors across the wards, will commit to uniting the community and working with everyone to try and mend the damage caused by the LTNs and the bad taste the way it was handled left in many people's mouths.


Now the hard work really starts!

Sigh Rockets!


Congratulations James - you work really hard for Goose Green and are responsive to those in your ward!

Now you are settled back in office, can you raise with your fellow councillors and the leader the issue around the removal of the no 12 bus service by TfL as highlighted here https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,2277496,2279861#msg-2279861


Obviously this is short sighted by TfL and the impact will be massive on the community, elderly and disabled who rely on it and as commuter numbers increase whilst we return to more normal working patterns there will obviously be less alternatives to driving which goes against the councils goal of reducing car usage.


I look forward to how you and the council will work with the community and TfL to overturn this ludicrous removal of essential local bus services.

I can't agree more James! Particularly a south London bus route, we already suffer from a shortage of frequent/reliable ways to get into the centre.

Hi all


Hope everyone is doing well.


Bus cuts

I completely agree with Spartacus on this. Southwark Labour has launched a petition which we are using to raise the issue and mobilise support against the cuts. You can sign it here: https://www.change.org/p/save-southwark-buses-76a6cd96-80f9-41d6-be68-dd7ccbc18e67


The proposed removal of the #12 in particular is completely galling.


Cabinet role

Yes, as of next month I will be covering Cllr Helen Dennis's cabinet role: Climate Emergency and Sustainable Development. I will still be representing Goose Green though, so no change there.


Daily Mail

Thanks Rockets - that's kind of you.


Best wishes,

James

    • Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly. 
    • My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks  
    • When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
