Councillor Susan Wise,

There have been many problems with Lewisham Council's servers. This is curious because Lewisham Council's IT provider has a great deal of expertise in the field of servers!

Who knows what emails have been sent and lost?

Who knows how this has affected Lewisham Council's performance (fortunately rated as 4 star) and reputation?

Councillor Wise - I e-mailed the three labour Councillors (prior to the anti war vote that ousted labour in our side of the tracks). Think you were one of them, and Dave Whiting another. Nobody responded, but that was a long time ago and if I spent all my time chasing up unanwered e-mails I would not have time to entertain the good denizens of SE23 on this site. Similarly if I was held to account for all the e-mails that I did not answer (particularly the ones with uninformative headers) I'd be out of a job. Most of my issues are with Southwark or TfL over transport as I usually head into town, not round it (as with many of us as we live on the fringes of Lewisham.). Main issue with LBL is over some of the bizarre planning permissions granted, and lack of consultation (although this is also aimed at local residents who can't be bothered to check out what is going on and then put in a simple objection, so at least it can go up to committee). If you are ever in the posh estate I'll show you around. Of course it is the new lot (of councillors) I have to engage now. Oh dear seem to have digressed now.

BD - even he goes off track occasionally.

Dear Councillor Wise. I'm sorry not to have posted an earlier reply but have been away over Christmas. I'd be very happy to send you a pm with my name if it would help although, as I mentioned, the issue has now been resolved. I'm afraid that you're the only councillor I sent the mail to (I tried through two different routes) as I thought it might have been a matter where you would hold a personal interest.
