I think we can agree trees are fantastic, beautiful and a welcome part of our environment... the issue occurs as Nigello stated above when they aren't cared for or pruned regularly. When they cause damage to payments and property that isn't right, and unfortunately as trees mature - particularly some varieties - they show that it really isn't practical for them to be planted in close proximity to properties.

Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug. For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.

Do you have links to these statistics please? The only positive stats I've seen were from lockdown, when clearly pollution decreased. Plus they help generate millions in fines, as per stats mentioned above. LTNs are a bad idea aside from for those who live on the roads that have been closed or cyclists.

No the collections were separate, although both funds transferred to his brother, Asif. You could pop in and speak to his brother if you wanted more details but I believe they plan to fund a well in Africa. Thanks if you donated, the brothers were very grateful and touched.

My youngest son was violently sick after an icecream today and that was the only thing he ate differently to me or the rest of the family. Just trying to work out if it's a bug or down to what he ate... Anyone else had a reaction? Thanks

Hi I think there's a thread about ED Charter SEN below... hopefully helpful Best of luck

Council address for reporting very useful

Council respond very quickly, brilliant. We definitely need more dog poo bins around ED tho, I'm guessing they disappeared due to more cost cutting

Very interested to see how the legal challenge to LTNs in south London goes in February... spending a long time on a bus in heavy traffic every morning is so frustrating, when surely everyone must by now agree that LTNs and road closures such as Melbourne Grove and some other side roads in East Dulwich serve no useful purpose, and most definitely do not reduce air pollution aside from on the now quieter closed roads. Apparently one road off Grove Vale should have been reopened for emergency vehicles but remains closed with a planter etc. I'd love to see statistics of cycle and pedestrian usage of Melbourne Grove, as I know several businesses on that road have moved (e.g. Callow locksmiths) or closed (secondhand clothes shop and GMs hair salon along with the Greek restaurant) since the LTN was put in place...

I've done this 3 times recently and they actually respond very quickly to clean the mess

We tried both vegan and then the usual.. neither was nice. I've had nice soups here before so will just stick to that. Probably just a bad choice on the day... As I said the waiting staff are always lovely.

I would happily take the task on but sadly the council will keep the responsibility, which I'm fairly sure means within months of them actually putting any useful information up on the boards it will not be kept up to date and will eventually get vandalised and fall out of use. Wonder when it will actually have anything at all posted as it was mended last year after around 2 years of me (and James Barber supporting) to ask Charlie Smith and other councillors to have it repaired. I'm not disputing that BUT this would also be a very useful place for small businesses to advertise and the last time it was actually in use it had a mix of councillors' contact details (I'm guessing would be in line with you supporting community info being posted there) but also info about give and take sales and also a few small business ads, a whole range really... and now I believe the plan is only to have community group and not for profit group info. That's my argument really, that we are a mixed area and anything we can do to support local small businesses would also be a good idea. Anyway I sadly don't have high hopes for this (Northcross Rd) board to be maintained properly or regularly by the local councillors - Monica at Health Matters did her best when it was last in use but even then it had very old info on it aside from local councillors details. Hope I'm proven wrong.

New refurb is excellent in many ways, nice layout except I don't like facing the free weight section when using the weight machines. All the equipment and spacing is well thought out. I think they should do more for senior citizens in terms of weekday classes and swim sessions but aside from that it's an excellent leisure centre and I'm really grateful it's on our doorstep.
