I have never drunk in the Castle - but I certainly do agree that there should be something for everyone. There are people who prefer the gastro pub, those who want a child friendly place, those who like cocktails and those who want to watch sport. Surely we are all capable of accepting that in a diverse area like ED there should be a diverse selection of places to relax and have a drink. Why should anyone (even if taking the p*ss) think that everything should cater for their tastes?

Indeed Cassius, they should not paint the castle, or spruce it up in any way. All of the lovely Paddy builders and local artesan types need somewhere to go for a drink after a hard days work. I would rather they had somewhere separate to relax, where they are not worried about spoiling the lovely seats. I hate to see these untidy sorts in Black Cherry.

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      But is it the Village councillors who are maintaining the board, or someone else? When the boards in East Dulwich were installed, it wasn't the councillors who kept the information up to date, it was Monica from Health Matters, who was greatly involved in various  community matters (eg the building of the community garden at what was then Dulwich Hospital). I can't remember if it was her who initiated the installation of the boards in the first place. She no longer lives in East Dulwich, and nobody else appears to be willing to liaise with the councillors and community related organisations  to take this on for the various East Dulwich boards.  It would hardly take much effort. Basic information doesn't frequently change (and no, I'm not volunteering. I am overstretched as it is). It's all very well to  get a physical  community notice board spruced up, but not much use if it then isn't being used for its intended purpose. And I can't see that it is part of a councillor's job to update notice boards which they didn't initiate in the first place. I'm sure they have more than enough to do.  The notice boards serve (or did do) a useful service, but all the information which could be put on them is surely available elsewhere. (Unless it is bringing to people's attention things which are of use/interest to them and they weren't aware they needed/would like, or didn't know how else to find the information). ETA: Oh. I've just read the beginning of this thread. I'd forgotten how it started. It's gone well off topic, hasn't it. Probably just as well, reading the OP.

      The board in the Village (just near the pub) is in pristine condition, full of council-related information (though someone had stuck a flyer on the glass, now removed). Maybe the councillors there actually CBA to make use of a facility that took time, effort and taxpayers’ money to instal?
