Has anyone received one of the new leaflets in the last few days?

Well, today is the deadline. Did anyone receive a leaflet on CPZ consultation from the Council?

[Rockets]

We have had nothing and nor have our immediate neighbours. It did seem very ambitious for Cllr McAsh to think you could get them reprinted and sent to 8,000 households in just over a week pr perhaps there has been yet another council "oversight". Surely if they have not been delivered the consultation deadline has to be extended yet again?

[first mate]

Yes, I would think anther extension would be required.

I wonder how much it costs to do one door to door mail drop to 8000 residences (although we know only some of that was actually done) and then a mail out of 8000?

No doubt the Council/ Cllr McAsh will pull the 'it's not our fault if the mail is not working' stunt.

To add an offside comment. Sometime ago the Council posted a booklet giving Southwark Services up date. One item was regarding collection of refuse. If you wanted a calendar for the year email. Duly did almost a month has now passed, no calendar. All replies  from Environmental Servies from the Leader down has send within 2/3 day it will be sent. No calendar.

 

If 1 item cannot be sent what chance do you think you have with 8000 arriving

According to the consultation website it did close as planned yesterday: https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/option2-dulwichvillage-stage2-cpz/

Surprise, surprise. Cllr McAsh knew exactly what he was doing there: use a failing and unreliable service to deliver within a very tight deadline, expecting the system will fail but secure in the knowledge the Council will not be held accountable for that failure. Meantime, as few residents as possible are alerted to an extension for the consultation. 
 

I really hope that the residents who got the last extension now ask for another, despite the Council's announcement that the consultation is over.

Did anyone ever get a new leaflet....?

The sound of overwhelming yeses speaks volumes here 😅

[Rockets]

Indeed...I can't find anyone who has had one of the new leaflets Cllr McAsh promised before the deadline expired...

[first mate]

Just checking again, did anyone ever get one of the 8000 leaflets Cllr James McAsh is on record as saying were sent out around a week before the consultation closed?

Nothing received here. Just waiting for the inevitable parking permit bill, doesn't matter what we do.
