southwark life

[Msgee]

I don't even think it's for LA tenants, it always looks like PR puff to me, and the "quotes" always look highly suspect..

I remember getting a copy through when all the Livesey stuff was going on, with the council pleading poverty.Grrrrrrr. The cheeky rotten gets(6)

Just because you are poor/live in a crap part of town/on a crap housing estate, doesn't mean that what you deserve is a bundle of badly put-together council propaganda. I really do object to this approach. It's patronising and condescending.

[intexasatthe moment]

Well said Louisiana.

It is the 'Southwark 'news so obviously includes all areas in the Borough whether they interest you or not!

If it was any better people would moan about their money being squandered on higher production values - when there's bobbies on the beat to pay for or something.

Being a council is a constant catch-22 - you're going to piss off a proportion of people most of the time.

Not if you can justify your expenditure to rational people. Then you only upset the irrational who presumably have less sway.

Please take the time to RE-READ my comments ta before throwing silly things like that around - I stress, I would like to see OTHER places covered other than the usual places

Woah, woah, woah... hold your horses there. A slight distinction is needed here. It is not the 'Southwark' News as in the independant 'Southwark News' that is printed weekly and costs 40p in the newsagent. This is a fantabulous publication full of interesting news, views and interviews as well as valuable information and rather interesting adverts across the borough... (excuse the blatantly obvious plug)

While the Southwark Life is the council publication that drops through the letterbox.

[reetpetite]

Yes I do know the difference I was just referring to its content ie news about Southwark

[KalamityKel]

And as mentioned Southwark is a big borough covering a wider area than is led to believe...

Ah nevermind!

[reetpetite]

I give up.

[????]

Isn't the point does any actually want this - I suspect not, or not very many. So once again it's politicians/municipal self importance...they just don't get it
