Nunhead&PeckhamRye CommuityCouncil Meeting 25 Feb - WHAT HAPPENED?!


Recommended Posts

Did anyone go?

Any complaints to councillors made about - ohhhh let's say too many litter-picker-uppers - the parking issue - anything?

Since so many of you complain in here to people who can't do anything about it, it would be good if you'd gone to the councillors and parking nazis at the community council, people who CAN do something about it. But probably won't.

;)

I was there


I could tell you what happened but then I would have to 'silence' you afterwards


Needless to say, Cllr Mark Glover has moved that they discuss the parking issue directly with the executive of the council (a written report was preseneted claiming that Parking in Peckham is cost effective, but no idea on how much it raises, what the spend on Parkign maintenance is and the officer presenting claimed that there has not been a rise in prices since 2007, however with weekends and evenings no longer free then that obviously isn't true), the Peckham Area Action Plan was announced (consultation starts at the end of March) and No comments were made about the Dog Control order.


Oh and some community budget underfund was reallocated.


The Fixed Penalty Notice information explained why you can get one and how to appeal (not exciting and no time for questions)


New traffic calming and crossings were announced, although there is more consultation to be done (2 new zebras at the Peckham Rye end of Rye Lane to make it safer to get across the 'big island') and I then snuck out before the Wardens report (although it is in the pack) and the general question time


Now I need to follow up on my threat earlier and make sure you don't tell anyone else !!!

    • Had council stock not been sold off then it wouldn't have needed replacing. Whilst I agree that the prohibition on spending revenue from sales on new council housing was a contributory factor, where, in places where building land is scarce and expensive such as London, would these replacement homes have been built. Don't mention infill land! The whole right to buy issue made me so angry when it was introduced and I'm still fuming 40 odd years later. If I could see it was just creating problems for the future, how come Thatcher didn't. I suspect though she did, was more interested in buying votes, and just didn't care about a scarcity of housing impacting the next generations.
    • Actually I don't think so. What caused the problem was the ban on councils using the revenues from sales to build more houses. Had councils been able to reinvest in more housing then we would have had a boom in building. And councils would have been relieved, through the sales, of the cost of maintaining old housing stock. Thatcher believed that council tenants didn't vote Conservative, and home owners did. Which may have been, at the time a correct assumption. But it was the ban on councils building more from the sales revenues which was the real killer here. Not the sales themselves. 
    • I agree with Jenjenjen. Guarantees are provided for works and services actually carried out; they are not an insurance policy for leaks anywhere else on the roof. Assuming that the rendering at the chimney stopped the leak that you asked the roofer to repair, then the guarantee will cover that rendering work. Indeed, if at some time in the future it leaked again at that exact same spot but by another cause, that would not be covered. Failure of rendering around a chimney is pretty common so, if re-rendering did resolve that leak, there is no particular reason to link it to the holes in the felt elsewhere across the roof. 
    • Hey, I am on the first floor and I am directly impacted if roof leaks. We got a roofing company to do repair work which was supposed to be guaranteed. However, when it started leaking again, we were informed that the guarantee is just for a new roof and not repair work. Each time the company that did the repair work came out again over the next few years, we had to pay additional amounts. The roof continues to leak, so I have just organised another company to fix the roof instead, as the guarantee doesn't mean anything.
