I looked again today, and lo and behold, they had posted up the online publicity yesterday - i.e. the day the exhibition opened.<br /><br />All in all, the effort made to inform Deptford residents about what's planned in Deptford has been shambolic, to say the least.<br /><br />And guess what? Inside the linen ''Deptford is changing'' shopping bag I was given as I left the exhibition trailer was a consultation paper, soliciting comments about the proposals. So it turns out that there is a ''Public consultation Feb 2010'' going on. In this case, the ''public'' part means hidden in a bag by the door of a trailer that most Deptfordians wouldn't know was going to be there because the council didn't tell us. Did anyone know that there was a consultation going on?<br /><br />Oh dear, I think I might have slipped back into rant mode.Marmosethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12393430738344326838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-79311904436742895632010-02-25T21:47:05.329+00:002010-02-25T21:47:05.329+00:00I seem to get about one edition in three of Lewish...I seem to get about one edition in three of Lewisham Life if I'm lucky, and in a bizarre crime-promotion measure they left my last copy sticking out of my letterbox.

However you can read it online (if you remember) - and goodness, I see there's even a podcast now! http://www.lewisham.gov.uk/NewsAndEvents/LewishamLife/CurrentIssue.htm<br /><br />@gareth gardner - I just hope it's not permanent face painting, like Young Kenny gets in Phoenix Nights!Deptford damehttp://deptforddame.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-21409524309136972682010-02-24T19:21:13.336+00:002010-02-24T19:21:13.336+00:00Thanks for posting that - I didn't know about ...Thanks for posting that - I didn't know about it. <br /><br />Rant alert:<br /><br />Lewisham council, while perfectly capable of sending correspondence about the rates and notifying me of a 13% hike in my council rent n a recession (well, someone has to pay for it, don't they?), are not capable of delivering Lewisham Life to us. <br /><br />How were Deptford people supposed to find out about this - after all, we're helping to pay for it <b>and</b> it's about Deptford?<br /><br />End of rant.Marmosethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12393430738344326838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-52439378376049567702010-02-24T19:20:28.744+00:002010-02-24T19:20:28.744+00:00I can't believe it takes all day to paint a fa...I can't believe it takes all day to paint a face!Gareth Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371885015248755434noreply@blogger.com
