The pavements are great.  And libraries.  I expect some have positive experience of social care LBS provide, child and adult social care and help that their councillor/s have provided.  

Please please keep this to positive stuff.  Thanks all.

Peckham Rye Park, St Giles churchyard, Lucas Gardens, Burgess Park, and my favourite - Ruskin Park.

Kings College Hospital happens to be in the area. I have had my life saved there (more than twice).

Despite restaurants' challenges there's also some really great food 👌 

 

 

Rocks as per original post, slightly amended, this is for this is about the Council and your Councillors.  Please do not hijack, and that goes to the rest of you on the CPZ/LTN etc threads.

It would be interesting to hear positive experience on planning, both projects that have been approved and where you were successful in objecting. 

Heh at the pavements as the first item.

This must be a troll thread.

The pavements are literally covered in dog shit, they get cleaned only once every three months, there is litter and detritus all over them, the have pot holes and cracked slabs and whole streets made of tarmac which sticks to your shoes in summer and cracks with frozen water in winter and mostly has tree roots growing through. 

The ones that are lucky enough to still have a public bin on them (barely any these days) are also covered in rubbish strewn all over by the foxes rats and pigeons that the council don't seem to do much about. 

The pavements are a hazard. If they are really one of the first positives for the council then we are truly screwed.

If you cross over to Lewisham CPR you will go from lovely laid well maintained slab pavements to cracked paving stones not well laid in the first place with small forests growing from them, damage made from cars and skips, tree root damage all poorly patched with tarmac.  On the positive Lewisham are pretty good at planting and maintaining street trees.  Thanks for the positive stuff on LBS nice to get some balance

Not very glamorous and I hope I'm not jinxing it but refuse and recycling collection usually goes ahead without hitch. The collection guys are generally cheerful and friendly. 

Agree with those who gave mentioned the excellent libraries and open spaces.

So a shout-out (which I entirely endorse) for Veolia

I've been for a long and enjoyable walk into Burgess Park today in this worryingly warm weather, and it was great. Wooded and meadow areas, gorgeous colours, birds and butterflies, and lots of friendly people smiling their days away.

    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT). 
    • Your post was an attack on the tax   I didn’t  address or mention you in my reply. Just pointed  out the problems with the article you then told be I wasn’t invited.  In no way am I bullying anyone. The reverse is true if anything 
    • The problem is, I'm not sure what the going rate is for park land for festivals of this nature. I'm sure they are paying less than outfits pay for access to the big stadia - but these have better facilities and are normally better for public transport. I am also sure that Councils could press for more, and should do so, but of course there isn't really a shortage of council lands to exploit, so these entrepreneurs could go elsewhere. What I would like to know is how much of the suggested £440,000 this year for Southwark is net profit - what are their costs in getting and administering this let? If this is a gross figure then what do they actually have as 'surplus'? But at least we have a starting point now - even if it's a guess I'm thinking it's a reasonably informed one.
    • Looks like owner of Persepolis is opening something late summer in what was The dulwich Beer Dispensary spot…  Excited about that
