Whilst I agree with most of the issues that have been said regarding architecture, demographics, social mobility and cohesion what I think has been overlooked are the demographics and social mobility etc of some of those people who have renovated properties some to an excellent standard in East Dulwich whilst helping to improve the local area and helping keep local people in employment. I am not from London, I have lived on a council estate in Brixton for 6 years, I also went to University later in life and worked all hours to get me through it, I did not buy property till even later in life so treasured it when I did, I was single and did it all on my own, designed the interior, financed it, managed it, I spent a lot of my hard earned money, time and energy and employed local tradesmen and bought materials from local shops so why should I not benefit from this financially? Not all people who live in expensive properties are selfish, irresponsible, middle class, married to rich men, yummy mummies with no concern or regard for what is going on in the rest of London and possibly they are now suffering from the recession too.

Really did not mean to offend just genuinely really fed up with this situation, now I will get on with my life............ never a good idea to get on this forum I should learn my lesson

So you think I am insensitive, what about the people who leave their bins out and rubbish all over the street, I suppose they are really aware of their neighbours? if I read this on this forum and thought it might be me I would do something about it!!! Who is insensitive here? Get over it!

You would think if you'd bought a house for over a million you would have enough money left to buy a skip and that you could make a space allocated for your bins, in all fairness they have not been in there long and the house was split into flats, not sure what there situation is, even so when I did a renovation job I paid for a skip and put all the rubbish in it and did not leave it sprawling all over the pavement outside, every week there is stuff left outside irrespective of what day the bin men come and all their bins are just left haphazhard for people to walk round, may have to go round and have words but do I really need to fall out with my new neighbours............

When a loved one has died in a public place, as my sister did in a hit and run incident, even though you want the culprit caught so they are not able to commit another crime, you actually desire more than anything privacy, not your relative named and becoming a public spectacle. As a family we denied any media interference as the media only sensationalise stories like this. The culprit was caught and justice was seen to be done without the media getting involved. Give the man in the park and his family some privacy and as for the man in Sydenham park, I am sure this will not lead to a spate of hangings that you and your children may come across!!!

If you walk back though after your curry and beer you will live longer, just think of how many more curries and pints you could consume then!

Hi Susierose I am a Marmora Road resident and also sick of the dog poo, there is a staffy that is often not on the lead, it pood in my front garden once, I'm sure the owners were aware but just carried on walking by, I had to clean it up. Are you also sick of the bins on the pavement, that is my pet hate at the moment, hate the fact that I am beginning to sound like Victor Meldrew!

Come to Marmora Road, SE22 Fazer, still walking distance to Lordship Lane, the houses that have not been converted to flats are large and imposing with grand staircases and large gardens, the houses that have been made into flats,the flats are still large and spacious. My flat is high spec, spacious with gardens front and back and for sale if anyone is interested?

If you want a large flat with a large garden, free parking outside, next door to the park, within walking distance of Honor Oak Park station and the East London line, 12 mins to London Bridge, not much longer now to North London and easy access to the West End with a 2 minute walk away to a really good Italian restaurant, good fish and chip shop, good cafe and pub come up to Marmora Road, still got the Se22 postcode. I do have a flat to sell!

Does anyone know the law on leaving bins on the pavement? I live on Marmora Road and am absolutely sick of some people leaving their bins out on the pavement, there is no excuse because everyone has a front garden or a path at the side of the house. These bins are a form of litter. Some people have moved in next door apparently have paid over a million for the house but since they have moved in the pavement outside their house is full of different types of rubbish, old mattresses etc left for days, all their over flowing bins, it s so bloody selfish, help! what is one to do?

I find the Herne always cold and lacking in atmosphere so wouldn't stay around long enough to try the food.

I do

I agree more trees. More were planted originally but some have died. Why is there never a maintenance programme for anything it seems in this country? If something dies replace it ??????, plants need tending to until they become established. It's false economies as they will probably now have another planting programme 5 years down the line when someone in the Council realises that there aren't as many trees as they had planned for.

Si Mangia is a brilliant local restaurant, don't knock it!!!! We don't need another chippy. A good bistro/wine bar would be good though, one with lit candles and good red wine serving coq au vin and beef bourgignon. (very 70's retro) Somewhere inviting on a cold Winter's night. Or somewhere like the 'Real Greek' yummy. That parade of shops could certainly do with a tidy up, although it's definitely an improvement on a year or so ago.

So if it s the boundary of your property where bin men should replace the bin then there should not be all those bins on the pavement, on Marmora Road there are plenty of gardens or garden paths to put bins, although people do put their bins onto the pavement to make sure they are emptied, it's a problem.............................
