I he...Is that true?<br />Catford? That's miles away!<br />I heard they were going to knock down the town hall and build some kind of super council thing there. Is that all part of the master plan? It doesn't do much for me. I'd rather be part of Southwark or Greenwich or Deptford could be a borough on its own? Once we've got the station et al can't we get divorced from bloody Catford? And keep Deptford real.Nice personnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-48083225671709092472010-08-21T00:49:39.498+01:002010-08-21T00:49:39.498+01:00I thought there was a church upstairs too.

You probably think I sound like a Tory, but when you don't earn very much and you're really short of money but can't sign on and you pass the job centre and see the dogs tied up outside (I can't afford to keep a dog, I'd love to but I'm working all the time anyway) and some nice motors (can't afford a car either, let along a jeep with darkened windows) it makes you larf to think people might have to make more of an effort to get their money.<br />Mind you I probably won't be able to afford a drink in the new wine bar or restarant or whatever it is going to be either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-47456105806338865682010-08-21T00:34:39.805+01:002010-08-21T00:34:39.805+01:00I'm a bit confused.

(I thought there was a church there!)<br /><br />If the powers that be have known about this all along, how come another building wasn't found? Surely it didn't have to be as massive as the present one?<br /><br />Does it mean people won't have to sign on as regularly cos it's so far away? (increasing dependency)<br />Or they'll have to make extra special effort to get to Catford? (and pay for bus fares?)<br /><br />Or can they sign on in Greenwich or New Cross?<br />Can they sign on in the new library lounge thing when it's built? <br /><br />If so, this would all make sense.Confusednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-89909888745155890772010-08-21T00:17:29.716+01:002010-08-21T00:17:29.716+01:00What with Tidemill going Academy, it's all loo...What with Tidemill going Academy, it's all looking a bit like Economic Cleansing...always the price of 'Regeneration'.<br /> <br />Quick definition: "The methods used by government or those in power to make those pesky poorer people get up and move from the geographic place they live. It could be higher property assessments, highways through poor neighborhoods, higher costs for food, shelter, and even water. If poor people can't live in a certain area then economic cleansing has occurred. It is often subtle and no one ever admits to doing it. It is the final market solution to poverty in any growth oriented prosperous community." <br /><br />Also:<br /><br />"But the stalled economy, and the stalling developments, offer us a chance to demonstrate a different approach to economic and social development. One that works with local communities instead of replacing them with the ‘creative classes’. Perhaps we can challenge the basically unsustainable short cuts to economic development with sustainable long term approaches to community development."<br />http://leedscd.wordpress.com/2010/02/12/the-failing-policy-of-economic-cleansing/<br /><br />Probably not.Not sayingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-76042564478653331652010-08-21T00:01:23.455+01:002010-08-21T00:01:23.455+01:00Nice person, re where are people going to sign on ...Nice person, re where are people going to sign on now...Deptford Dame posted in June that people would have to sign on in Catford.<br />http://deptforddame.blogspot.com/2010/06/deptford-job-centre-to-close.htmlSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914930883748622529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-46286143176990206732010-08-20T21:49:38.813+01:002010-08-20T21:49:38.813+01:00Yeah, anon, looks like there'll eventually be ...Yeah, anon, looks like there'll eventually be a cluster of nice buildings near the nice new station.
