The Nextdoor group for London SW6 is generally of interest to residents. However, a small group of residents - about 6 use this forum to be abusive and rude about their local Councillors when they don't get support for their particular concern. Councillors represent everyone in their SW6 ward and must be impartial. They are advocates and not decision-makers. This abuse amounts to bullying especially as erroneous assumptions are repeated as fact. Nextdoor posts should be non-political, non-racist and respectful of all cultures in the community group it serves. Specifically, I live in the area and posted a thank you and praise for a local restaurant owned by friends, which has just opened for a couple of days this week for takeaway food. Like all restaurants is has been closed due to Lockdown Covid-19 restrictions. This particular group has used my post to abuse me for actions which are taken by the local Government decision makers, and over which I have no authority despite relaying the concerns of this minority group to the appropriate authority. They are free to write to me at my official council business address available on the council website and I will respond accordingly. However, it would not be appropriate to use Nextdoor as a political debating platform for disaffected members of the community who can use an alternative communication channel. I think that these specific posts should be deleted and all members informed that membership is social and supportive of one another. My name is Ann Rosenberg: [protected]@gmail.com. I look forward to your response
