Hi all


Thank you to everyone who voted in yesterday's local elections.


Thanks to your support, Cllr Charlie Smith and I will continue on as your Goose Green Labour Councillors, joined by Portia Mwangangye. I know I speak for all three of us - and our Labour councillors across Dulwich and Southwark - when I thank you for putting your faith in us. Across the Dulwich area, Labour Councillors have been returned by significant margins. In Goose Green, 57% of the votes cast were for Labour.


Whoever you voted for, or if you did not vote at all, we are here to represent you. So do feel free to drop us an email if there is anything that we can do.


Best wishes

James

Ah Cllr McAsh - we have been expecting you! ;-) Welcome back.


Congrats on your victory. Many of us are very much hoping that you, and your fellow victorious councillors across the wards, will commit to uniting the community and working with everyone to try and mend the damage caused by the LTNs and the bad taste the way it was handled left in many people's mouths.


Now the hard work really starts!

Now you are settled back in office, can you raise with your fellow councillors and the leader the issue around the removal of the no 12 bus service by TfL as highlighted here https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,2277496,2279861#msg-2279861


Obviously this is short sighted by TfL and the impact will be massive on the community, elderly and disabled who rely on it and as commuter numbers increase whilst we return to more normal working patterns there will obviously be less alternatives to driving which goes against the councils goal of reducing car usage.


I look forward to how you and the council will work with the community and TfL to overturn this ludicrous removal of essential local bus services.

I can't agree more James! Particularly a south London bus route, we already suffer from a shortage of frequent/reliable ways to get into the centre.

Hi all


Hope everyone is doing well.


Bus cuts

I completely agree with Spartacus on this. Southwark Labour has launched a petition which we are using to raise the issue and mobilise support against the cuts. You can sign it here: https://www.change.org/p/save-southwark-buses-76a6cd96-80f9-41d6-be68-dd7ccbc18e67


The proposed removal of the #12 in particular is completely galling.


Cabinet role

Yes, as of next month I will be covering Cllr Helen Dennis's cabinet role: Climate Emergency and Sustainable Development. I will still be representing Goose Green though, so no change there.


Daily Mail

Thanks Rockets - that's kind of you.


Best wishes,

James

I'm sorry to hear this.

      Bathroom & Kitchen renovations - Jerry Oscar (H.F.U. Ltd)

      By jenjm · Posted

      I'd like to post a recommendation for Jerry Oscar of H.F.U. Ltd.   Jerry has just completed the renovation of my bathroom and I’m so happy with how it turned out.  My bathroom has a strange layout (with about a quarter of the room/floor space un-useable due to the stairs underneath), but he came up with some great ideas that have really made the most of the space - somehow he turned the room into a tardis and made room for a bath (previously only had a shower) AND even given me extra storage. He's a magician!  I felt he really cares about what he does and treated the project like it was his own home. He was also great to have around – super friendly, easy to talk to and raise any queries or concerns with the project, and he was very respectful of the space. He kept his tools tidy and made sure the bathroom was still usable while he worked, which made a big difference day to day. He doesn’t cut corners and clearly has high standards.  I’m honestly so pleased with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for someone reliable and skilled, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jerry. He does kitchens too, and if I ever redo mine, I’ll be giving him a call. Jerry Oscar - 07401234499, homeforurefurbishment@gmail.com

      Advanced Painters of Dulwich

      By RevElaine · Posted

      These Gents are amazing, we asked them to come and paint our whole house interior and fix a number of issues from previous paint jobs. They are professional, clean up after themselves and pay attention to every detail. Their work is outstanding and I can't recommend them enough, Brian and Malachi are incredible.

      Excellent Plumber & House Maintenance Generalist

      By red5 · Posted

      Fabion is an experienced plumber. I was connected with Fabion through an App when I had an emergency issue with my water tank in the loft. He fixed it.  He also came back to replace my taps in the kitchen. Since then Fabion has been able to help me with the following:  1. Putting up blinds - immaculate 2. Dismantling and reassembling beds x2 (30 mins flat)  3. Taking down big old doors Extremely professional. Clean - never leaves a mess. SO fast. Attends when he say he's going to attend. Friendly and kind.  I cannot recommend him more highly.
