It wouldn't affect anyone on here I am sure, but I do think it's a sad sign of the times that the last two cash offices in Southwark are closed. Many people at the bottom of the ladder can't get bank accounts, or choose not to, and could pay their rents and so on in folding green. Also, some people choose only ever to use cash. I do, certainly. I wonder if they shouldn't offer us the chance to use Paypal!

Can they not do it through the post office? I thought there used to be little rent payment cards that you could use there & pay cash.


If that option isn't available, it should be.


I actually prefer the convenience of doing everything on-line but I know it's not easy for everyone.

Yes, I know Paypal means you have to have a bank account. That wasn't my point. Some people can not have bank accounts for various reasons. Cash should always be an option. even if it means they take you to court and you hand over buckets of cash there and then saying it was the first opportunity you have had since they would not accept cash!
I have to use cash offices in my work. We frequently have to get additional fob keys for Southwark Housing Properties for our clients - have to pay at the Walworth Road cash Office, get receipt before taking to HO to get fob. On the Kingswood Estate, you either have to go to the Walworth Road office first or purchase a Postal Order at the Kingswood PO which costs another couple of pounds.

    • I agree, the people in the park office seem to be invisible. Quite why we need a park office I am not sure. Perhaps it is to do with all the maintenance and upkeep for which there will be organisation and admin. It may be expensive but I do think funding some sort of regular park safety oversight should be a priority. Southwark to want young people to use the park, as do we all, but there probably does need to be some sort of supervision for everyone's sake.  
    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
