Do you provide bats for the first session?

Are these known facts or are you guessing?

Surely the question is whether James Mcash is effective in his various roles? I've seen nothing to suggest otherwise as a GG councillor or cabinet member. No idea about the teaching but he's made a career of it, so one would think he's perfectly fine on that front too. What I do object to is him being elected under one banner and hopping under another one, I suspect out of naked self interest. His headline rationale for the move is scarcely credible. He claims "the council was “planning for funding gaps larger than those faced in almost every year of Conservative and Liberal Democrat austerity, this time imposed by a Labour government...Unless something changes, Labour cuts will devastate the local services that as residents of this fantastic borough, we all rely on.” But what he's actually talking about here is the new Fair Funding Review, undertaken by notorious Tories Angela Rayner and Jim McMahon. https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/the-fair-funding-review-20/the-fair-funding-review-20 The Fair Funding Review is explicitly about the redistribution of resources based on updated needs assessment, which, last time I looked was a key tenet of the left (including the Greens). Mcash also claims Southwark "cannot and does not stand up the the government" but that simply isn't the case as Southwark, Lambeth and London Councils have objected to the FFR because it fails to take into account Londoners' high housing costs. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/news/2025/southwark-and-lambeth-leaders-call-fair-funding He seems high on bluster and low on actual detail. And the great problem Greens have to overcome, like everyone else, is that the country has no money.

I think this is probably rational rage. If it is you with a radio turned way up high somewhere in the North Cross Road/Crystal Palace Road/Ulverscroft Road area, please STFU. It's a rare lovely day. I am trying to do some gardening and sit quietly in my garden with a cup of tea, and I can't put earplugs in in case someone comes to the door. Building work noise is unavoidable. So is plane noise. Radio noise isn't. Get some expletive deleted earbuds 🤬🤬🤬

The lamppost was in the wrong place at the wrong time 😭 I don't understand how you can crash "into" a "pedestrian crossing" though.

Lovely daffodils on Dog Kennel Hill and random but still lovely crocuses on Goose Green.

If you are that bothered, why don't you ask the people at the mosque what the situation is, and let us all know? 🤣 I live round the corner and I hadn't even noticed an awning, let alone one "half hanging off". If you think it's a safety hazard, that's a different issue, and one they may not be aware of, in which case you should definitely let them know.

I guess, in a few weeks we will see if he is still a councillor or goes back to teaching 🤔

What happened with the Heygate was absolutely scandalous. The lack of accountability is shocking.

Hi My names Laura, I am a experienced nanny looking for a new family for Mondays and Tuesdays or just one of those days. I've been in childcare for 18 years, I've been nannying in the East Dulwich/Peckham Rye area for the last 8 years. I've gained alot of experience over the years with all different ages, I've also had experience with twins and working alongside mothers and their newborn babies too. Please do message If you'd like to chat more. I can provide references too. Many thanks Laura

Because the previous Libdem/Tory coalition council did so much better? ....Oh wait. Selling off the Heygate at a bargain price and reducing the number of council homes it replaced? Being in opposition is so much easier isn't it James. The point on allowances etc is a valid one, and that is about finding the right balance between the responsibility of those cabinet roles and the role of service that should underpin all political aspirations in an ideal world. Holding down a full time job, while having to attend meetings and then deal with case work on top, is a huge ask imo. People in key roles need to have the time needed to do those roles effectively, so some renumeration makes sense. It's just a question of where the balance should be. McAsh has walked away from that, so his convictions are doing more talking than careerism arguably. Worth pointing out that most MPs started out as party/ political activists/ campaigners on a local level. Different parties have different processes for selecting candidates, but everyone starts out at a low level.

I think the Galleon on Dunstans Road beats that. been work in process for 5+ years.

Cleaning in East Dulwich and the surrounding areas for well over a decade, we've worked hard to always provide great cleaning and reliable cleaners. We pride ourselves on delivering a high-quality cleaning service and making sure the cleaners turn up when you need and want them to. Our growth has mainly been by recommendations on the Forum, local Facebook pages and clients recommending us to their neighbours on street WhatsApp groups. We know it can be hard to trust someone to come into your home, many times when you're not there, so we only use cleaners that we know and have been checked, trained and are happy to be supervised by us. Accidents can happen so we're fully insured to cover any and all situations that may arise. On top of cleaning we can do additional tasks such as managing washing, ironing, bed changes and oven cleans. Plus working with local partners we can arrange window cleaning and carpet cleans for you. So if you want to come home to a clean and tidy place, with the floors cleaned, surfaces dusted, cobwebs removed, dishes washed, cushions plumped, clothes folded, beds made, and the bathroom gleaming, get in touch today!
