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 am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
