Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely taken over for the benefit of the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past. I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.

I'm not sure how to link to it, but there is actually another thread on here solely about Arapina, also negative but for a different reason. A search on Arapina will bring it up, but here's a screenshot. This is why I have never been there.

Not tried the hot chocolate and sorry about your experience. Found it a great place to have a coffee and do some work during the week. It's expensive, but then that's unsurprising given the location.

I'm amazed we still need food banks and not for profits. I thought we elected a labour government in 2024 to end all that stuff and make everyone rich.
