make believe world of the council

[Morag]

The SOUTHWARK news letter this month is saying that they have cleaned the streets in E'D and elsewhere. Well our street and surrounding areas, has grass and weeds growing in the gutters,and really long grass growing in the roof gutters. We have not seen any road cleansing officers oh ,oh, foralmost five years now.There are no houses maintained, painted or otherwise,and it as been like this long before any reccession started. So Harriet Harman must be well out of touch ,since she moved to yuppie duppy town.

[Keef]

What has she got to do with Southwark?

[SimonM]

...and when did she move out of the Herne Hill house she's lived in for about 30 years??

[ruffers]

The fellah was down our street last week getting the weeds out of the cracks by the side of the road, thanks Southwark!

[Huguenot]

I share the mental block differentiating Tessa Jowell and Harriet Harman.

Do the council paint houses now? Gosh.

[Nero]

I rang the ocuncil to get the weeds (some 3' high!) removed and wihtin a week the they'd done the job. Southwark is rather good at street cleaning and rubbish collection/recycling.

[Morag]

You are right HUguenot, I did muddle them up, THe grass growing on my roof must be the wacky variety. I meant Tessa Jowell who used to live in Nunhead.

[PeckhamRose]

Grass and weeds is hardly litter, is it.

Stop whinging! Phone 'em up and / or write to the councillor of your area.

What Nero Said!

Southwark council are excellent at collecting rubbish. Only the other day I rang them to collect a fox's head which I had in my freezer. Can't remember how it got there but I vaguely remember walking through Nunhead drunk last week...............anyway had to get rid of it because i couldn't fit the choc-ices in.
