My (limited) understanding was:


a) BARA objected due to lack of consultation

b) If approved, the pharmacy COULD introduce the programme down the line without further consultation, even if there is no plan to do so at present.


Have I gotten this wrong amid so much flying about?

There was a guy on Northcross Road on Saturday with a petition for this. He had a table set up outside the Chemist there. Nice bloke and explained himself well. Maybe it was him? Maybe he's just got the wrong end of the stick as well and it wasting all of this campaigning time on something that was never going to happen.

I like the sentiment snorky but petitions are useless.


The tend to be exercises in helping the disenfranchised to feel engaged. Unlike the angry mob locals, people on the receiving end of petitions normally understand that it is possible to have a range of views on any given subject, that's why they're appointed to make decisions. That's not to say it's a good thing that petitions are ignored, just that they are.

    • The year of Councillor Naima Ali's tenure as Southwark Mayor comes to a close on Saturday. Her energy and enthusiasm have made her a popular local figure and she has been dubbed the Hugging Mayor and sometimes the Dancing Mayor. She talked with Chris Haydon on PECKHAM PODCAST about her life journey, FGM and being proud to be British:  
    • It's started. And seeing it just now made me feel genuinely a bit flat and sad. 
    • I'd forgotten about that place.  It wasn't a market as such, it was just run by one  couple. They did have some quite interesting things. I still have a mirror I got from there, which had been  put inside an old painted  shuttered window frame from somewhere in India. Mumbai I think. There also used to be occasional indoor  markets in the church hall where the cinema now is, next to where the Irish shop used to be. But if memory serves they were usually either jumble sales (do they still exist?) or craft sales before Christmas. There have also been occasional indoor markets at the church hall in Dulwich Village and the church hall at the church in Barry Road up by the Plough. There never seemed to be many people buying things at them. But it does all depend on what is being sold, whether it appeals to the local demographic,  where the market is located and how it is publicised. And, obviously,  whether it is profitable for the traders.
    • How the hell did Mad maxxi do that given the state of the rest of us?
