I heard that London parks may be closing and now regret not going to dulwich park this weekend to get the kids out (but not socialising in groups obviously) A shame if this is the case because of people not keeping a sensible distance.

I am glad you have posted this. Thank you. The rate of muggings is alarmingly high and people may be unaware quite how bad it has become - I know of many incidents this year alone also. Most recently a boy of 11 was threatened with a knife for his phone. Much more vigilance is needed - both from residents and the authorities, sadly.

Another one this morning on Druce road...

Thank you!

I rate the vet on Norwood Road - Norwood Road Vet - highly. I wouldn't say they are cheap but I would expect that one on Lordship Lane may have inflated prices, due to location (and probably rent!)

Well done for getting a photo. If you didn't dial 999 at the time - can't imagine there was much time - did you dial 101? Worth it as you have the car registration - could be stolen?

Just wondered if any ED folk have done a laser tag type party for a five year old... some will be only four but as my son loves Star Wars, light sabres, etc, think he would really enjoy it. I have a venue in mind and heard that the companies that do this can bring inflatables, ?bases? etc. Any tips very gratefully received!

Hoping lots of people will come to this tomorrow morning to grab a bargain! ?1 admission ....

Keen to have a good declutter before the end of the summer holidays! Was thinking of boxing up a lot of things. I don't know if they still happen at the Sainburys on Dog Kennel Hill or Goodrich school - does anyone know? Thanks in advance!

Hi would be grateful if anyone can recommend an architect with experience of Lewisham planning and Grade II listed buildings. thanks in advance!

Any advice gratefully received. With three kids learning instruments including the drums I'd love to sound proof a room so they can make as much noise as they want! Lucy

Hi My son is a drummer and I'd love one of those garden studios that can be soundproofed, but failing that due to ??? can anyone recommend a company to sound proof rooms internally? Thanks Lucy

sorry put this in wrong place.

Yes people must report it. We have had it a few times and it?s most unpleasant and bullying and when you have young children around especially so. I think it?s really important to flag up when and where they are operating.

It was utter chaos just now as we made our way through it - 6pm Saturday. While the junction layout is a bit of a mess this must be some kind of spillover from something else? Never seen anything like it and we have lived here 8 years.

It's for a 7 year old girl and a large gaggle of friends. Really appreciate any tips! Thanks very much.

We are getting sick of our bikes and kids bikes cluttering our hall and want to buy some attachments that go on the brick wall outside, along our side return. I wondered if anyone could advise the best type? I know you can build a wooden ceiling but I'm inclined to lock the bikes on to the attachments and just use plastic coverings, which I have seen done before. Again, recommendations much appreciated as no idea where to find this or what to buy. Thanks! Lucy

We are getting a puppy in September and have been told good puppy training classes get booked up early. Looking for any recommendations. Also to see if anyone has a crate that would be suitable for a small-medium size dog. Thank you very much!

My son goes to the School of Rhythm in Penge and we rate the teachers there.

Many thanks for taking the time to respond to this - v helpful. I'll call these places up to find out more!

Hi, I wondered if anyone had organised a laser tag party? I'm considering one for my soon to be 8 year old but don't know if there are any companies that any local Dulwich folk might recommend? (and venues that work to host it that don't cost a fortune...). Thanks very much... Lucy

Just now there was a green man - the one that you tell young kids to look out for to tell them it is safe to cross -yet cars were turning from the village into the junction despite the red light and green man - so we just had to stand there and wait. The cars were heading into Calton ave and court lane - at least three: Must be due to bad phasing but they could not have missed us standing there with me nervously clinging to my three year old on a balance bike - he thinks a green man means it is safe to cross, as indeed it should. I have never seen anything like it. There's been an awful lot of impatient beeping lately too, which in itself is dangerous.

Three kids in and I have come to the same way of thinking as the poster above! Just have fun. Maybe get some lessons later for technique! At 2.5 kids won't have a clue about that unless exceptionally mature...

We live just round the corner get this frequently too and sometimes quite late at night. As the original poster says the first line is to say they are just out of prison. I think it is designed to intimidate. I have found that if you try to refuse they sometimes look really angry/aggressive. We had it last Friday well after 8pm. I think it should be reported personally.

It's totally unacceptable and I really hope this doesn't just get forgotten about - it needs to be improved and the justifications and cost explained. Apparently they'll be 'reviewing' it after the February resurfacing. In a time of austerity, in particular, it seems insane and very wrong. I occasionally cycle and don't have a clue how that tiny bit of lane is supposed to help anyone. I ended up walking my bike on the pavement. I drive through the junction daily and almost collided into a car the other day as it wasn't clear to me who has priority if you're turning into court lane from the village as people also try to exit Calton Avenue into the village. It was my mistake - I wasn't rushing but confused - but I very much doubt I wasn't the only one who was confused. There seems to be more build up turning right from the village into the junction too and another car almost butted into me impatiently trying to get into Turney Road. Seems more chaotic than before, not less. Very sad. We also had to live through the fumes and inconvenience, but it's the terrible waste of limited funds that makes me despair.
