I second that whole heartedly.
Come the next local elections lots of Labour incumbents will be turfed out and it will pave the way for sensible, committed and non-tribal candidates to be selected.

Non-tribal?

James was an excellent councillor, but he was Lib Dem.

Is that not "tribal", then? 

And what are your reasons for thinking the "Labour incumbents" are not sensible or committed?

And what on earth has any of that got to do with locks?!

there are various charities that provide keysafe installation for vulnerable adults and I am guessing someone got the address wrong. A charity installed one for my mum and just did it without knocking on the door.

Presumably Social services or similar will turn up at the right house/flat and wonder why no keysafe. And then contact the contractor. Who will swear blind they went to the right house.

Or something along these lines.

You could contact Council Adult Social Care Services by email as well. Usually recipient has to be in so they can be told code and shown how to access the keysafe.

Are you under Southwark? In which case:

'You can contact Southwark adult social care by:

Emailing [email protected] or calling 020 7525 3324 for adults with a physical or sensory disability or who are 65 or older'

Mystey solved! 

 

As pointed out by a few of you - this was indeed a mistake from a council subcontractor who instals keysafes. 

Just a couple of emails with the council (thanks IionaM for the heads up), and they are now scheduled to come and take it off (AND fix the wall) next week. 

Very happy with the response from the council. It was an odd mistake to make but it seems it will be reverted 🙂

      Is Peter Mandelson toast

      - had all the wrong connections at the wrong time - fraternised with some well dodgy blokes or rather one at least   - smart and  smooth talker - he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter - he is highly polished - skilled at making personal connections - never liked or trusted the chap, reminiscent of a slime ball

      I'd put short odds on that but who would be his likely successor?

      Planning application - new Underhill Rd residential development

      By ArchieCarlos · Posted

      Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
