Buzzed: Lambeth Council plans to spend over £500m on temporary workers with the aim to save £4m annually
Plus I've heard that the MP for Dartford has finally quit Lambeth Cabinet, but remains a Councillor. Can't find any confirmation. Anyone?

My "lodger" who appears to be in poor mental health has just had a letter form LCCC demanding payments of £20 per month towards a debt of £618.
When I asked him what it was about he says, giggling, that he got nabbed by a Lambeth Enforcement officer for dropping a cigarette end on the pavement.
Seems this is now policy Offences FPNs be given for
So what happens when someone who is not working, or on benefit doesn't pay? I am wondering.
My friend is already being pursued for a £12,000 debt (mainly accrued interest) purchased by PRA from Barclaycard.
It has been commented on before how the streets of Brixton are getting full of derelict people, and at night the area between the tube the Police Station has loads of rough sleepers in doorways - and persistent beggars.
No-one cares. Presumably event the Lambeth Enforcement Officers don't care because these are people in despair who don't have an address to sue them at!
Brixton has become like San Francisco - wealthy cheek by jowl with the homeless - wealthy white revellers proud to be liberal (with a small l) but unconcerned about the wreckage created by this unequal hedonist society.

Our Council is going to spend £1m to dig a hole.

I'm exagerating, obviously.
It's actually a drainage project for the large piece of land on St Matthew's Estate, across from Currys and Halfords.
While the idea isn't bad in itself, they could do so much more with that amount of money. I'll bet most of it has been spent on consultants, risk assessments, and other paperwork.
They claim to have no funds for important needs, yet somehow, they can suddenly find a million pounds for this.

Buzzed: Lambeth Cabinet shake-up: MP for Dartford steps down, by-election uncertainty looms
"No timeline has been given for a possible by-election, or indeed reasons as to why this isn’t immediately possible"

Weird not to say who’s behind the poster - especially when claiming to speak for a whole community.

Who is behind it?

It occurs to me that the headline should have been: Man who Lives in Lambeth but Represents Dartford is replaced by Man who Doesn't Live in Lambeth but represents Lambeth.
No idea. Jason Cobb? Don’t see how you can claim to speak for (two) communities without any proof.

I would imagine someone currently or previously involved with the local Labour Party branch with a memory of what happens to people who dissent from the party line...
Pretty obvious isn’t it, fella?What the fuck's your point, fella?
This is a community school that serves a very deprived community with many children with complex needs and families that need a lot of support.
They should absolutely have access to these facilities but let's hope that it's going to be set up in a way that is manageable for them. It could be a great resource.
