I?m the first to ask how to stop other people from using a stickered bin that isn't in their garden.

To the local councillors, How will stickered browns garden waste bins stop other people who haven?t paid from filling up the bins of people who have?

Can?t believe I am the first person to ask this question. It?s been bothering me for a while. I lived in a different street for a few years and the neighbour?s gardener used to dump all her garden cutting into my bin when hers was full, without asking me.

I was at the surgery itself when I asked for the appointment. Was not offered any alternative other than what I described above.

Impossible to get an appointment there in the next 28 days. Told to ring at 8 am for a morning one, or at noon for an afternoon one. Impossible to get through. Is this the norm now?

How does this stop all and sundry from using your own brown stickered bin?

They should be outlawed as they are exceedingly dangerous. Even if you are not near anyone else they can still cause injury to the dog and owner. I have experienced them wrapping around my legs too many times from uncontrolled dogs. Just get a long training lead.

Can you compost hedge branches?

Wanted to find out if there are any laws regarding this. Does a deposit need to be put in a tenancy deposit scheme like it does if you rent an entire flat/house out? Is it better to include bills in the rent, etc?

Wonder if more people will start burning their garden waste.

Will the brown paper sacks still be available?

All race horses aren?t vaccinated. I read that six of them were vaccinated and the same number weren?t.

There?s an organisation called Southwark Healthwatch who told me about this.

I had heard they were moving at some point to the Dulwich Hospital site. I thought it was in conjunction with the Hambledon pr@ctice.

They have very few GPs. One permanent female GP A clinical lead who is only there 2 days a week as he is dealing with all Of the parent company?s other acquisitions. A locum GP, and another formerly full time GP who is now 1 day a week.

Interested to know current views or experiences of this practice. They have had chequered reviews in the past with some really dire receptionists. All seemed to go downhill after they were taken over by Concordia more than ten years ago.

Filled out the survey. Wondered what people are putting for the section that asks if a CPZ is brought in then which type/duration do they want?

Please don?t get a leptospirodis vaccination. They are useless and dangerous. Get a very very long lead, like an equine lead, and let it trail on the ground so you can step on it if necesssry. Goose Green is a high traffic dog area and near a very busy road. I would try Peckham Rye first, as most of it is fenced.

Looking to change surgeries. Was thinking of this one. Who is this unhelpful doctor?

Why do people answer the door to people who are not expected?

Are you in the toadtrack area?

Yesterday I noticed a very strong smell of woodsmoke on Oglander Road at the Grove Vale end. It was impossible to see where it was coming from though. It was very unpleasant.

I noticed two old fashioned barbers up at Brockley Rise, SE23 when I was there last week.
