Well I was referring to Arable Farming not Dairy Farming...


Farming techniches have changed..


Removal of hedgerows means more Pesticides need to be used as the Spiders that lived in the hedgerows

and ate all the insects have gone.


Any spiders that are there cannot reach the middle of these huge fields.


The machinery that is used to harvest these fields is indeed very expensive BUT does the job of

dozens of farm hands in a fraction of the time.


Not that Farm hands were ever paid a decent wage for the work they have done.


Farmers have never had so much time on their hands...


And unlike many jobs, it's there choice..


so stop whinging, get on with it or get out of it.

    • Voluntary organisations are probably not making use of the boards any more because of the state they are in. To the best of my knowledge a small number of people had keys originally, but I have no idea who has them now. I imagine it is going to take a fair amount of time to get all this properly up and running again, and then properly maintained.
    • Alice, you may have nailed one of the issues, which is presumably a key holder who needs to find time to change flyers and so on.   I take on board the issue about free advertising for businesses, but would not put small, very local businesses into the same category as all other businesses. That said, I can see rationale for voluntary and NFP taking precedence, are these organisations actually making use of the boards?
    • The community noticeboards I see are incredibly out of date,  who has the key? anyone step forward?
    • Where to begin? I'm middle class and am quite happy for them to be used for information about voluntary/not for profit/non commercial events, they should not be used as a means of free advertising for businesses, small or otherwise, they are just not large enough.  Commjnity groups do not have the money to advertise to increase awareness of the services they offer. The examples you have given which you would like to see them used for may reflect your own priorities but the community of East Dulwich reflects a much wider range of interests and requirements. The  notice boards were introduced in 2011 when East Dulwich had already gentrified and their purpose discussed in the EDF thread announcing their arrival.
