Barclays local is now at The Lordship Lane Doctor’s Surgery.

Such a weird place to run banking advice alongside medical professionals.

I got a text about them moving into the LL Surgery earlier this week. They're open by appointment from 10am-5pm Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Sessions can be booked online or via phone.


I suppose if Barclays reject you for a loan, you can at least book an appointment with the GP!

Brilliant idea. Not!! To bring healthy people seeking banking advice into the same place as sick and potentially infectious people seeking health care. I guess the rent is much cheaper than a proper bank...gotta keep up those profits...poor bankers!

Now I am not the one to whinge on this site (apart from the irrational thread on the Lounge which we know is a bit of a laff) but couldn't find anything on line - lots on the closed branch. So I went down - receptionists at the surgery very helpful. Up to the third floor, a gent popped out to tell me that I needed an appointment - how I said when you don't have any details on line.


I suppose after 22 year of using Google, and before that Altvista and Lycos, I'm not very good at usin the WWW (world wide web for anyone under 40).


They gave me a card but it has no contact details although there is a QR code. I'll share more later. And may complain to Barclays if I can be assed,

Oh it gets better, the QR code leads me to this: https://events.uk.barclays/local/


But on a search using my post code the nearest place is Mitcham at over 7 miles rather than Lordship lane at less than a mile.


The gent told me to go to my local branch, but with the queues I'm not going to Peckham. I tried Westmister a couple of weeks ago where I used to bank a few times a year pre Covid, but they had moved a couple of working days before.


Note to myself - get a life

It’s still showing LL Surgery for me. Put in postcode SE22 8JS and it comes up with LL, Peckham, Brixton etc.433FB9AE-F17A-4166-A397-5D747E85FC40.thumb.png.b274c25c596f8be11ce051bc3348ff62.png

 

 

Mitcham still showing up as the nearest Barclays Local, so it looks like the LL Surgery agreement fell through.

There's been fairly broad media coverage in the last few months of the development of 'banking hubs'. These are premises where shared counter services are provided by a group of banks, with back offices available for use by individual banks. https://www.ukfinance.org.uk/press/press-releases/pivotal-moment-banks-consumer-groups-post-office-and-link-join-forces-help-protect-cash-services


Link (might other facilitators be available?) even invite community requests for their set-up. https://www.link.co.uk/about/news/four-new-banking-hubs-confirmed-following-community-requests/.

Post Office has been doing some of this for some time

 

Most banks offer PO Counter services for basic banking, but the issue is some of the smaller post offices sometimes don't have enough cash in the float to do the transaction. This happened when there was the brief move of the Sub PO near The Plough moved into a convenience store opposite Dulwich Library. They eventually gave up the franchise with no replacement.


The other I've experience at East Dulwich PO is that they don't always have enough of the notes you want your cash paid in, so it's just easier to travel to another bank branch where they have enough cash in all demoniations.

Does this now mean, ED has no banks at all? As the Barclays has closed on LL, I assume the ATMS have gone too?

 

Yes, there are no banks in the whole of SE22 at all.


That stretch of LL has two free ATMs at the Co-op and the Post Office, while others at Payless, Lordship Food and Wine and Ronnie's on East Dulwich Grove charge.


Other free ATMs in SE22 include Barry's Food and Wine in Barry Road, Sainsbury's Local by The Plough, Tesco Express on ED Road, Sainsbury's DKH and the PO in Forest Hill Road.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
