I haven't seen Councillor Rosie Shimell's letter. (this is not a Council letter but a letter from one of the ED Ward Councillors)


There have been huge cuts to the Council's budget. Yes, there has been reduction in street cleaning, there has been cuts to the budget across all council departments. In my mind we have got our priorities right. For example, all libraries have stayed open and there is still a One O'clock Club in Peckham Rye Park. Recycling rates are up and amounts of waste to landfill down.


People with dogs are supposed to clear up their waste. Most dogs owners do, but there is a minority who persistently don't.


If there are bins that need emptying let me know and I will pass the information on. I will raise about litter and refuse collection on Ulverscroft. I do the same as you Kford!

I'm sure most people do the same, but that doesn't mean that the source of the litter can't be addressed!

Hi Renata,

That's really disingenuous of you.

Yes council budgets have been cut. But your administration as also chosen a number of 'pork fat belly' political projects. So you've ad to make much tougher cuts to fund those.


So it's clear we have different priorities. ED cllrs keeping streets clean yours include free school meals often for children from wealthy families.

Oh James, I will stop on this one , I can see it dissolving into political disagreement yet again. Just to say average family income in Southwark 18k, the average Southwark family would not, therefore, be eligible for free school meals. The majority of families benefitting from free, health school meals are not wealthy. Many children eligible for free school meals weren't claiming them.


I have raised the issue of stuff being dropped while bins are emptied.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
