This conversation is very useful and also important, so thank you for your contributions. A council can have the best polices and initiatives in the land, but unless the correct and most effective method of communicating polices and services to the people who access them, the council's efforts will be in vain. It is also essential to have real dialogue to improve upon its services rather than circulating a magazine which very few read (not directed at Southwark Life). I will look into the cost of the Southwark Life and the website to ascertain whether there are any other ways Southwark Council could use to advertise their services and communicate as effectively as possible to as many people as possible. Thanks again, Joani

OK, I will look into it. I don't much like it myself; it just seems like a rather silly magazine. I do however, see the point of the magazine. I assume it?s an attempt by the Council to engage with their constituents, keep them informed and ask for feedback which they can?t be faulted for. Do you have any ideas on how Labour can do this in a more efficient way (if we take control of the Council) in addition to the usual methods such as community councils and surgeries? Joani

Good afternoon, I'm Joani Reid, Oliver's running mate here in East Dulwich. He seems to be getting quite a lot of feedback; I'm also happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the Labour Group in Southwark or the East Dulwich Labour Team. Regards Joani
