We used to live in East Dulwich for a good number years. We moved to a few places after ED and now find ourselves in Crofton Park. We think that it is certainly up and coming. It will take a good number of years to get to ED standards, we do miss it, but we are not far away. There are some good local shops openings, grocers, coffee shops and restaurants. It is not far from Brockley and transport into town is very good, IMO much better than it was for us from ED - Farringdon in 20 mins and Charing Cross from Ladywell in 15 mins. Schools round here are also getting rave reviews. But as I say, Crofton Park is a work in progress.

Hi there, just wanted to share the following map that the Police have and that shows the log of crimes as recorded by them. Visit the site (http://www.police.uk/) and enter your postcode. Useful to get an idea of hotspots. As others have said, I hope that the girl is getting support. As for justice, I would like to see some serious justice for such crimes. It's about time to have punishments that will act as a deterrent!

Try Dulwich Runners. There's a good crowd there on Wednesday's. They also have track days too.

Got to say, well deserved. I had an issue here in East Dulwich in which my local councillor didn't do much, so I took the case to Tessa and the Chief Executive of Southwark Council. She worked hard for the Olympics and when I needed support, did so for me.

James, I would like to know if they have got a contract with Southwark Council what terms are in place and what benchmarks are in the contracts to ensure that council tax payers needs are met.

To be quite honest, they do not care about the customers once they are signed-up. Having said that I would like to know how their contract has been renewed and what targets Southwark Council has in the contract, because by the mood here they are not being met. Gut tells me that the best thing is for people to gather their thoughts together, contact a local paper and let them know the issue. Link it to the fact that the contract has been renewed by the Council and you have a story. Equally, if Fusion have similar issues in other locations then you have a story. It's about time that businesses took care of their paying customers!!

Cheers. Many thanks!

Hi there, just wanted to see if there are trains running from East Dulwich to London Bridge today? I'm getting conflicting messages! Cheers!

The slippery geezer's been acquitted of all charges.

I BIG yes to Waitrose. Personally speaking, while the staff at the Co-op are great their grub is poor. I've lost count of the amount of fruit and veg I've got from there that has gone rotten within a few days. It's just not on. That said, the bonus has been that it's made me get my fruit and veg now from the North Cross Road store (what's it called?), which is itself is brilliant.

Have to agree with 'first mate.' Best thing is to call and get the option 'thinking of leaving Virgin Media.' If you end up with an overseas call centre before this then ask to be passed back to the UK. It tends to be the case that when you tell them you are going to leave that they'll pass you through to UK staff anyhow. Equally, send an email and a written letter. Funnily enough, written correspondence always get an answer. If they split the cable then they are in breach of contract as you are not getting an exclusive service.

Added now! :D

I put together a Twitter list some time ago 'ere: https://twitter.com/#!/twofourseven/dulwich-life. And if you can put up with my media, pr, tech and Arsenal ramblings then join in. :) Oh, I'm @twofourseven

Going to throw a curve-ball here, but I wonder if it is wee then it is to scare off any foxes. You know, spread human wee around to keep foxes at bay? Just saying!! I'll get my coat!

A hat-tip to the ArtfulDodger for the insight and everybody else for the points made. Just to clarify, the post as I described is paid and full-time. While I understand the point about 'public finances' I would have seen this as an investment. Somebody that can press the flesh with businesses that might not have considered venturing into Peckham, Camberwell and Dulwich. Personally I see the job as an investment in the community, focusing on business and helping businesses. To a certain extent, the job or investment would pay for itself in the medium to long-term. Anyhow, thanks for the insight from everybody.
