Hi! Could you tell me what specific time and days you need help? Thanks

CT_R, I was about to submit an FOI on this! Do you think you could screenshot or attach that response here? We could all take a look? It avoids the need to make separate FOIs. BTW, I’ve now emailed Cllrs Jon Hartley & Maggie Browning, who should be expected to answer concerns from their constituents on this (from both sides of the argument ). It seems Maggie is back from maternity leave and playing catch up, probably on all the queries not picked up by Cllr Hartley. I’d really urge others to also email. This Forum is great for discussion but ultimately, it’s Southwark Councillors who need to respond…

Hello, We are a family of 4 looking for a 2 bed property for a short term let May - October in the East Dulwich/ Peckham / Nunhead area. This is just whilst we have work going on at our place. Happy to look after pets if that’s needed also. Thanks!

I would heartily recommend the Dulwich Carpet Company for anyone looking to have new carpets fitted. The service is excellent. Stephen explained the pros and cons of all the various options allowing us to make an informed choice about the best one for our home. He left the samples with us for as long as we wanted whilst we decided on the colour and was more than happy to fit in with our timings for all appointments. The workmanshop was superb and the quote was very reasonable. He and his colleague worked efficiently and were a pleasure to have in the house. They turned up on time, did a great job, including moving everything out of the room and back in, disposed of the old carpet responsibly, and cleaned up everything before they left. We will definitely be calling Stephen again if we need any other rooms doing in the rest of the house!

Thank you so much for such a detailed reply. All that is really helpful! I don't know what kind of springs they are, but I will try to get underneath/inside and find out! Thanks again x

NOTE. Please register on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below: Important On 7th Feb we have 2 rides. Gloria will be riding to Onion Garden from Canada Water and Dave P. is leading a short hilly circuit from Peckham Rye Park. 7th Feb, Ride 1. Canda Water to Onion Garden. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/canada-water-to-onion-garden-southwark-cyclists-healthy-ride-tickets-1981953565467?aff=oddtdtcreator > We first visited Onion Garden ( https://www.theoniongarden.org/) last march (see report). If you were on that ride you will probably want to visit again. If you were not, then this is your chance to have a look at a little treasure hidden away between a rail line and tall buildings in deepest Victoria. Start 10am, Deal Porter Square (next to Canada Water Library, opposite Canada Water Station). Gloria leading. Approx 10 mile loop. Outward via Cycleways 4 and 14 to Waterloo, then Westminster Bridge, Victoria St and back streets to the Garden. Return via Horseferry Rd, Lambeth Bridge, St Georges Circus, Cycleway 10, Bermondsey side streets and Southwark Park. Aim to be back around 1.30. Flat route, mostly cycleway or quiet streets but some busy stretches (e.g. Parliament Square, Lambeth Road). Everyone welcome. 7th Feb, Ride 2, Four Peaks Challenge. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/four-peaks-challenge-southwark-cyclists-healthy-ride-tickets-1981959585473?aff=oddtdtcreator > Meet Peckham Rye Park café (The Round, Straker's Rd, SE15 3UA) at 10am. With Dave P. leading set off through the park turning up to Brenchley and walking up and over One Tree Hill. Note, the walk has series of steps and may be difficult for heavy bikes. Having learned about the Oak in Honor Oak, ride down Honor Oak Park and climb up Blythe Hill, peak number 2. From there on to the Waterlink Way and Ladywell Fields. We next do the steep ride up to Hilly Fields and take a well-earned break at the cafe there . Finally, on to the 4th peak, Telegraph Hill, maybe checking out lower park if we have time as well as the upper. End the ride through Nunhead and back to Peckham Rye Park. Around 12 miles and estimated two and a half hours, so back at 12.30. General Info. Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe. If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. How to cancel link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/help/en-gb/articles/575010/how-to-cancel-your-free-registration/. This ride is organised by Southwark Cyclists and is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/. i

If the FOI is correct it appears some at the council could not see the merit of it….and if that is the case you have to ask why some within the council felt so compelled to push it through.

Thanks for bringing us back to the real issue. Clearly, some who live on Ryedale, as well as others close by, cannot see any merit in the council's latest proposed street meddling.

Which streets are you talking about, exactly? All the streets near me seem quite clear of leaves. And why should council workers have to pick up other people's dog shit? People who don't pick up after their dogs should not be allowed to have them.

The Plough Cafe, on the other hand, is excellent (for breakfast and lunch).
