While good news in itself, does this indicate that the council have listened to the residents and decided that the second weekend will not be going ahead at all? or that there is an appetite for the 2nd weekend but the council have deferred it to next year?

Go back to the original post to see this information

no explanation provided, just a barrier rope and note. LL one - max 20 mins wait around 5pm yesterday - staff were nice, just the nature of the transactions and taking time

Not everywhere is like that, my road is very friendly and nice. Everyone knows each other. Suggest starting a WhatsApp group for your street and beginning to chat.

I'm sure they have good reasons, yet safety for the residents who pay the CT should be a priority. £63 million on Other Services?

Would you not expect clean streets to be a priority? Rather than suggesting those in Southwark pay more, would it not be more relevant that Southwark actually prioritise it and explain what they are spending our money on.

A friend works for Lambeth cleaning the streets, there is a team and they work round all roads in their area, clearing weeds growing between paving and edges etc, as well as the rubbish people leave. There is so much work that he usually works weekends as well. If you live around the Gypsy Hill area/ West Dul/ Tulse Hill area, you'll very likely have nice clean and tidy pavements.

Contact Southwark. I know Lambeth employ people to clean the leaves and keep the streets clean and are still doing so.

I went to Forest Hill post office inside WHS and it's closed until further notice.

bagels aren't that good for you - high carbs, processed. stodgy, but I suppose you can add healthy fillings. a bit like pretzels.

Saw this on Facebook group - seems like he’s known in the area but needs to get to the vet. Hopefully one of the people feeding him can know that he needs help and that the vets are waiting for him

Oh, jolly good then. That's all alright. The neighbouring roads are making a fuss about nothing, traffic should be expected, the only cure is fewer selfish people driving. Let's move on to something we should all be indignant and upset about - but just remember - if it affects you personally and not anyone else, no one will actually care. Nice work people.
