I second that whole heartedly.
Come the next local elections lots of Labour incumbents will be turfed out and it will pave the way for sensible, committed and non-tribal candidates to be selected.

Non-tribal?

James was an excellent councillor, but he was Lib Dem.

Is that not "tribal", then? 

And what are your reasons for thinking the "Labour incumbents" are not sensible or committed?

And what on earth has any of that got to do with locks?!

there are various charities that provide keysafe installation for vulnerable adults and I am guessing someone got the address wrong. A charity installed one for my mum and just did it without knocking on the door.

Presumably Social services or similar will turn up at the right house/flat and wonder why no keysafe. And then contact the contractor. Who will swear blind they went to the right house.

Or something along these lines.

You could contact Council Adult Social Care Services by email as well. Usually recipient has to be in so they can be told code and shown how to access the keysafe.

Are you under Southwark? In which case:

'You can contact Southwark adult social care by:

Emailing [email protected] or calling 020 7525 3324 for adults with a physical or sensory disability or who are 65 or older'

Mystey solved! 

 

As pointed out by a few of you - this was indeed a mistake from a council subcontractor who instals keysafes. 

Just a couple of emails with the council (thanks IionaM for the heads up), and they are now scheduled to come and take it off (AND fix the wall) next week. 

Very happy with the response from the council. It was an odd mistake to make but it seems it will be reverted 🙂

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
