Does anyone know if any sort of barter system is at work in the ED area? I read about this a few years ago and there have been some successful groups set up whereby people in the community offer their skills/services in exchange for others. I seem to remember that they created a type of 'currency' so that it didn't always involve direct swaps but people could exchange their crowns (or whatever) for something that had value to them. I have done a little bit of this with friends/colleagues and think it's a lovely way to work. What do people think?

I think there's a Letts scheme in Peckham ... but nothing in East Dulwich.


Its a great idea but I'm not sure it would go down too well here.


Maybe I'm wrong, but the impression I get is that folks in these parts like to hear the rattle of cash in their purses and probably wouldn't go for a non-commercial exchange.


I hope I'm wrong - and there certainly seems to be lots of people with lots of skills.


Why not set one up?

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      Give the Monster Raving Loony party a shot. They cannot be worst that what is around now.

      I’m going to stick my Gregory Peck right out and say not the Tories.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      I think there's a lot in what you say. Although bi election results aren't usually indicative of GE results, I was horrified to see Reform support was so high in what had previously been a Labour stronghold, Labour and Conservative results reflecting the tired old parties they are.  It isn't our generation (sorry @Sue if I'm being presumptuous!) that will decide the outcome of elections but those in their 20s, 30s, 40s ... if they can be bothered to vote. The Greens and Reform now present a real choice instead of two centrist main parties of the last 30 years which has put people off voting. Perhaps locally I will continue to vote Labour, i really couldn't bear for the LibDems to return and we have to consider the demographic of the whole of Southwark. But come the GE I will probably vote Green.

      I agree but in the case of McAsh, that would just have left his constituents without a councillor for 3 months until the May elections. MPs switching parties is really galling. If an MP is suspended for law breaking etc., then a recall petition can be issued and, if enough of the constituents support it, a by-election is called. I think the same should apply for defectors.
