Send us your examples.


Here's a few of mine:


1) They bang on about recycling but send you your communications in window envelopes which they say they can't recycle.


2) They sent me consultation papers asking for opinions on a cycle lane on the SE15 east side of Peckham Rye 4 years ago. Must have cost them a lot to ask people's opinions when they probably had their minds set anyway, but guess what. Nothing happened anyway. Today got sent another set of consultation papers and they said that last time nothing happened because they ran out of money. a) wouldn't it be best to send out consultation papers AFTER they're sure they have the money and b) maybe the cost of sending out consultation papers is WHy they ran out of money.


3) They have built a whole load of well built garages on our estate but have done nothing to advertise them for rent at ?9.38 a week each. Call Jason Huggins on 020 7525 5000 (yes, call centre) and ask him if you're interested.


Your turn.

I am no particular supporter of the Council, but the examples given are hardly examples of large scale incompetence.


Southwark still has many social problems: poor public housing, poverty, violence that all impact on the level of service they need to provide.


They may fail to advertise garages and leave consultation papers on cycle lanes to rot. maybe they have more pressing concerns.

Oh there are plenty of other examples, I was just starting a ball rolling but it's hit another traffic angering roadhump! (They dont calm traffic!)

Of COURSE one can rip the plastic bits out of envelopes, and I do. But they're more expensive and they put stickers on top of the envelopes a lot of the time anyway.

And we do need to attract good talent in a competitive market but the quality of some of the staffe beggars belief. Sheer stupidity seems to be a necessary quality to get jobs there. One of the housing officers at Bournemouth Road recently told me that Kim Humphries has changed things so that a qualified experienced housing officer now can't even raise repairs on anything. And none of the workers are allowed to personalise their offices. I had to go to registry office recently and the officers aren't allowed to put pictures on the walls or photos on their desks. It's awful. Why would anyone want to work in those circumstances. So those that put up with it deserve respect of course. But so many of their colleagues are really - well - incompetant.

Yeah - Southwark Life! There's even a magazine called SE15 - what a waste. So untruthful. But like Notting Hill the film was about Notting Hill. Totally unrealistic about Notting Hill!!

Back to bed.. back to reality. Who wrote that?

    • Absolutely agree , the pool is in a disgusting state at the moment. I’ve also noticed how dirty it’s been lately, especially around the edges and in the changing rooms. It’s honestly at the point where it feels unhygienic, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people got sick from swimming in it. You’ve done the right thing by reporting it  hopefully if more of us raise concerns , they’ll take it seriously. Happy to add my voice to any formal complaint or petition if that helps. Thanks for speaking up — you’re definitely not alone!  
    • Let's see if we can get a key so the notice board can actually be updated by someone who cares and has time (thank you Jellybeanz, if you want to do that, and if Sue can get a key), or we can have a group of key holders and content managers. It's not hard is it. There's not really any point having one if it doesn't have information
    • I  got a take away yesterday evening.  I stupidly ordered a side as well as  a bowl.  I have a hefty appetite but I had leftovers for breakfast and still some for lunch-and delicious.
    • I find that very confusing to read, because you have not separated what I said in my previous post from your reply in a way that makes it easy to see who said what. It also makes it very hard to respond to what you have said without confusing things even further! Is there any reason why you didn't just use the quote option as usual?
