...and so, 4 years on from the "dramatic planning meeting" that approved the "meganursery", how has it all worked out in reality? The building looks nice from the outside - but I don't know anything more. Did either of the nursery businesses on EDG fail because there was no demand for nursery places in East Dulwich? Did Carmageddon on East Dulwich Grove get worse? Were pre-COVID work patterns abandoned forever (lol)? Were some of the concerns expressed in opposition to the planning application a teensy bit overblown...? https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/southwark/mega-nursery-approved-amid-dramatic-planning-meeting/

If I don’t feed the birds, they’ve actually come and perched on the fence and stared directly at me through the window. The squirrels do that too.

Great news! common sense finally prevailed.

Many have already suggested, including some in Ryedale, that full width speed humps would do much to reduce driver speeds and seems an immediate possible remedy. The width of the road through much of its length additionally causes two way traffic to slow down and pass only with caution, again addressing speed issues. Local people, I am one, frequently use the cross roads to access Underhill from Forest Hill Road/ Peckham Rye and vice versa. The more of these open, the less traffic each one carries. And the less nuisance to residents. Those who wish to exclude others from using roads they live in are nimbys of the worst sort, but wishing speeds to be reduced for safety is entirely reasonable.

Reading The words 'Artisan' and 'Curated' when refering to my 'Breakfast Bundle' frankly make me feel a bit..🤢

I would recommend Coopers bakehouse, which offer a similar service to B&C but it’s just focussed on really good bread, decent prices and keeps for ages (also freezes well). Delivered by bike.

Bird feeders encourage rats and squirrels. Neither are good for birds.

Perhaps they might now revisit the Champion Hill closure. Perhaps ex Cll Barber could lead there visit ad return it to how it was.

Actually I've changed my mind about this, so long as I can attach something long and brightly coloured to the handle so I don't forget it's there when I light a fire!

Pity they didn't take this sensible approach in the first place!

I've quite often gone to Meghan's for takeaway coffee in preference to Redemption, firstly because the coffee is not much lower in quality (and I've found sometimes in Redemption it's over extracted, bordering on burnt), secondly because it's much faster, and thirdly because you never get a queue of sweaty men in their smelly skin tight licra cycling costumes in Meghans

"Choose from our curated selection of artisan breakfast goods to create your perfect bundle." Don't you want a perfect bundle, New Wave? It's CURATED!

I once tried and failed to grow teasels, but they grow like weeds in my daughter's garden, grrrr. I might be if only I could cook 🤣

Power to the People!!! Well done the sensible people who fought this. There still remains, however, a lot of questions for the council and councillors to address about how they ended up in this mess, why they wasted tax payers money taking this approach (which Cllr McAsh admits was not their usual approach), who was trying to force this through and why they were so keen to by-pass their own internal governance. And beware....McAsh suggests they will be back again (I suspect after the election if Labour wins that ward). I very much suspect the impending elections forced this move from the council as they knew this would be a massive vote-loser for them - so use your vote wisely Dulwich Hill - this particular Labour leopards don't ever change their spots! I do very much hope that any potential candidate for the ward (from any party) is pushed by residents to get answers and assurances this cannot happen again - the council should never have let it get to this point and someone needs to be held accountable. After the News got in touch, James McAsh, the Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets and Waste, said the council had dropped the measures. He said: “We recently shared proposals to close Ryedale to motor vehicles in response to concerns about through-traffic and vehicle speeds. These measures were intended to be trialled under an Experimental Traffic Management Order, allowing their impact to be properly tested. While this is not our usual approach, we were keen to urgently address concerns. “Since then, we have received considerable feedback from the local community about the possible impact of the scheme on the wider area. We have listened and decided to stop the scheme and instead, take the time to review how best to address the concerns raised. This will inform the development of broader joined-up proposals as part of our Streets for People strategy, which includes extensive community engagement at every stage.
