Sue Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Wondering who is responsible for maintaining these notice boards?The one in North Cross Road has been vandalised, and some of them have been flyposted.Would be better if they were taken down altogether than left in this state, surely?

Pugwash Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Initially these boards were approved by the old Community Councils as a way of giving local residents information regarding surgeries, hustings, local events. Keys were issued to Ward Councillors and a few local activists.North Cross Road comes under Goose Green Ward. Over the years, the locks on many of the notice boards have been replaced but keys are not always given over to the original 'holders' Some do not have locks so anyone can post leaflets etc. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/312960-community-notice-boards/#findComment-1590626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigello Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 One for McCash and the council. I agree they ought to be removed if vandalised and nobody is in charge. Same happened at Whateley/Barry, I think. Please email your councillor with an image of it.

Jellybeanz Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Years ago I asked for a key to help maintain the noticeboard on North Cross but was told only a couple of people have keys. One was the woman who runs Health Matters but she rarely seemed to keep them updated. A real shame it's now damaged as they can be very useful in showing what's on and local councillor details etc. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/312960-community-notice-boards/#findComment-1590934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
monica Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hi, Im Monica from Healthmatters, I have not held the keys for the notice boards for the last 5 years. I am not sure who gave you the info, its incorrect. Thank you Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/312960-community-notice-boards/#findComment-1591400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Torrance Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I've been thinking about the notice boards for while, so I was really interested to read these posts. They seem like such a potentially great and simple community resource, I'd be sorry to see them go. It's almost inevitable they'll be vandalised if they're not kept up to date, I suppose. I'm going to drop a line to our councillors and see if anything comes of it.

Sue Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 I passed through Herne Hill recently, and saw a community notice board which appeared to be in pristine condition and with up-to-date notices in it.What a difference.
