Community notice boards

Wondering who is responsible for maintaining these notice boards?


The one in North Cross Road has been vandalised, and some of them have been flyposted.


Would be better if they were taken down altogether than left in this state, surely?

Initially these boards were approved by the old Community Councils as a way of giving local residents information regarding surgeries, hustings, local events. Keys were issued to Ward Councillors and a few local activists.North Cross Road comes under Goose Green Ward. Over the years, the locks on many of the notice boards have been replaced but keys are not always given over to the original 'holders' Some do not have locks so anyone can post leaflets etc.

Years ago I asked for a key to help maintain the noticeboard on North Cross but was told only a couple of people have keys. One was the woman who runs Health Matters but she rarely seemed to keep them updated. A real shame it's now damaged as they can be very useful in showing what's on and local councillor details etc.

I've been thinking about the notice boards for while, so I was really interested to read these posts. They seem like such a potentially great and simple community resource, I'd be sorry to see them go. It's almost inevitable they'll be vandalised if they're not kept up to date, I suppose. I'm going to drop a line to our councillors and see if anything comes of it.

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
