It can get pretty bad on our road, drives me mad. As mentioned on the previous thread though, when I've reported any to the council they've been pretty quick at cleaning it up https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/street-care/dog-poo

Thanks, we waited and went with Turners when they opened on Monday (they were great). But good to have a recommendation.

My car (petrol) has broken down and I'm trying to find someone to look at it this weekend. I normally use Turners but they're not open at the weekend. I was wondering if anyone had any experience of either A.T Craig Auto Mobile Mechanic on Lordship Lane or Stars Garage on Tyrrell Rd. (I've tried searching but can't find any recommendations on here) Thanks K

I thought it was ok to line with newspaper, which is what we started doing after checking online some time ago: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/food-and-garden-waste/recycle-your-food-waste The newspaper from our bin was left behind today when the food waste was collected so maybe this isn't ok now?

I don't think it's paper around it - it looks like plastic or a type of foil wrapping paper. I'm not sure it's going to wear away. I think the trunk of the tree is formed when the leaves of the plant drop off - so it's not bark as such. I'm worried if the material is plastic or foil it could cause the plant heat stress - or rain/moisture could get trapped behind it and cause it rot.

Does anyone know why the palm tree on the East Dulwich roundabout - end of Lordship Lane & East Dulwich Road - is covered in what appears to be shiny wrapping paper? I wasn't sure if this had been done to protect the plant - seems unlikely - or as a joke - possibly. I'm worried it might damage the plant. I was going to check with Southwark to see if they know anything about it but thought someone on here might. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I didn't get a ticket so hopefully I'll be ok.

Hello, Does anyone know how much the charge is for parking fines in Southwark? I parked on Grove Vale where it's free for 30 mins but I forgot to log my car on the PaybyPhone app (A traffic warden on a motorbike turned up just as I was pulling away.) Also, is there anyway to check to see if I need to pay a fine without waiting for the letter to come? The postal service is very intermittent and I'm worried that I will lose the ability to pay 50% by the time the letter arrives. Thanks K

I went out last night and there was someone else looking as well. I looked under cars and in gardens up to the top of Friern Road from Goodrich, then around the top of Friern Road (in the alleyways just after Etherow) but didn't find it unfortunately. I was hoping it had made it home.

Hello, can you say where on Friern Road, if it's injured it's possible it's hiding close by. Could you let me know which house number this was near or which section of the road? There are a few people out looking for it now and we might be able to find it. Thanks
