As I said, I've just bought a house in ED ward. Would still get my own now. Would never vote for James now. Simple.

I live in ED Ward and have spoken and emailed James Barber frequently. When ED ward received money for personal alarms, there was plenty of publicity about it. People as been said before, do not understand that ward names such as ED, Village and College give an indication of the part of ED covered.


Also the police from Lordship Lane (before they were forced to move to Camberwell) frequently turned up to local events i.e. Summer fetes, etc and had a stall giving out personal alarms, and general information.

That is really unfair.


It has been clearly explained above why you weren't eligible for an alarm.


Why take it out on James Barber? He is an excellent councillor and works really hard, and has always responded really quickly and effectively to issues I have raised with him.

Hi Speedbird,

Welcome to East Dulwich ward however you intend to vote.


I'm sorry my original post about personal alarms wasn't clear enough about being limited to ED ward residents. I can't spend public money on who I want as it has to be fully accounted for. So these personal alarms and their distribution is via local Police who have to confirm the recipient is an ED ward resident.

I have in the past also applied for Crime Prevention funds to be created to provide such kit in all neighbouring wards - sadly other councillors didn't think this a priority for them despite the support of their police officers..

      Thank you to who ever keeps the forum going

      By beansprout · Posted

      Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
