  1. RMP 87 Dog Kennel Hill If you go onto the Southwark Web page you will find it. Bus improvement scheme.
  2. I seem to recall reading in the Southwark News sometime ago a plan by Southwark to narrow the road to restrict car passage.
  3. Well said Foxy. Like you I have many of you complaints. When they are young and so far up there own arse wait till they get old and fight to keep up with all the price rises where every penny counts. They wont be so smart then.
  4. 1st of April is I believe when all all Council wage increases kick in.

    M&S?

    How is the self spacing going on Rye Lane. Would like to go for fruit but not if it is packed and people not doing the right thing.
  6. With regard to the subsitions are the replaced goods more expensive or cheaper. Would make a great deal of difference to the cost of a shop
  7. Is it possible for an update on Sainsbury's stock situation. Many thanks
  8. And when Johnson speaks tonight the locusts will be out in force tomorrow. I was hoping to replenish my food requirement. My daughter's partner went to Tesco , Surrey Quays this morning, queues round the block. Does it never stop. Left and went to a small Sainsburys at Canada water at least 100 people waiting for it to open.
  9. You are right but I think we are looking at a certain local area that fits the posh label and we would have thought knew a little better.
  10. Now that Mr Johnson has spoken can anyone give any information if this news has prompted yet another raid on Sainsbury's. I ask this as I have to take the bus to get there and do not want to spend time on a wasted trip. I would appreciate and I am sure others will appreciate it if we could be kept up to date on the state of stocks. I thank you
  11. Slashed as in cut?
  12. Just my own personnel thoughts are Sainsburys not stopping this bloodbath because they need the money to pay overdrafts and keep credit lines open? Banks only look at cash flow to service debt not profit. Sure someone in ED will be able to comment.
  13. No matter what people write on this matter the undermentioned I think sums it sums it up 100%. Should have said More greedy selfish A/H. Posted by richard tudor March 05, 04:45PM "Perhaps there are more A/H in ED than anyone realised."
  14. If you are thinking of going I would suggest you take a flask of tea and some food, the checkout out lines to pay for the few items left on the shelves are mad. God help the old folks who have struggled to get there to find the cupboards bare. Community spirit does not exist self greed there in abundance.
  15. update 1130 today Shelves empty. .
  16. Condom, could have been in trouble.
  17. If I am honest I have more faith in a condon with the top cut off than Southwark and joined up thoughts. Lets see
  18. If Southwark could bring this in why could they not bring it in for Champion Hill instead of closing it down and pushing traffic through smaller roads. Residents did ask for the same plan but were ignored.
  19. Below is an email that I sent to Southwark regarding the park charges, I have not had a response. This is the real damage these charges will cause not the reasons given by some above. Perhaps people should consider what is written below. As many of you are aware Council Tax will rise this year by4% Try applying for a Blue Badge, it is not that easy as various articles in the Southwark News have thrown up. Dear People,(Richard Livingstone, Eleanor Kelly and Peter John) It has just been posted on the Dulwich Forum that the parking charge is going ahead as it would seem that the payment signs are already up to be used but are hidden. Although I have posted before my opposition I have heard not a word until the Forum put it up just now. I have circulation problem with my feet whereby I need to walk a lot. My dog and I use Dulwich Park once a day and sometimes twice as it is flat and pleasant and does not put to much pressure on my metatarsal bones due to fat loss. It gives us both the exercise that Doctors recommend. Prior to Champion Hill closing it took me 10/12 minutes by car to reach the park. Now I am looking at 25minutes sometimes more to get there. Another ill thought out scheme. Now that this charge is being brought in I will have to consider if I can afford to go for 2/3 hours a day combined with other factors. Before the normal comments are made if I have to take public transport, which involves 2 buses and walking the journey will take a min of 40 minutes or longer each way. That time depends if the bus/s turns up on time or at all. My house is situated in the middle of a hill away from public transport. So it is already difficult to reach a starting point. Combine that with having a dog and the prospect does not really appeal after testing it. Getting a bus with a dog presents problems as mothers with prams that look like tanks take up most of the limited space parking space and space between the seats is very limited. So looking to use my local park which I have done for almost 73 years a return journey will now take me around 90 minutes without the time spent in the park. Factor into that being tired after walking, and it rains having a wet dog on a bus which will not please some the park is really getting out of reach. 6 days a week for me will cost ?24/36 a week extra for something that I already pay towards with my Council tax, which is over ?2000+ for this year. I cannot afford to pay to use my local park Some families will also have to make this decision. Locals in the Dulwich Park area can walk with no problem but others that are not and have have to travel with children, toddler bikes, scooters, toys and the family dog will have to consider if they can afford the park which is crazy. Getting on a bus is most of the time not an option. It might appear to some that the park and it surrounds is turning into a middle class ghetto which might just be used by only close residents. This is wrong. It is strange that Southwark keep pushing fitness but continue to make it difficult for many. Again another decision whilst looking at in a meeting has just not been thought through before putting it into operation. Southwark keep saying they need money and yet when reading comments on the Dulwich Forum Southwark can waste ?25,000.00 on a road improvement scheme at Bellenden Road and Avondale Rise which was not necessary beyond one resident suggesting it would look it would look pretty. I would appreciate one of you letting me know why this is happening when there is overwhelming opposition to it and why you are cutting people off from using this and other parks. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards
  20. It is not just roads but pavements as well. Coming along Pytchley Road this afternoon, the pavement on the corner with Dog Kennel Hill is being dug up. It was only laid a little while ago. This is also happening where ever you look

  22. Perhaps they were hoping to ease them in over the Christmas period whilst people were not on the ball and away. Thought there was supposed to be an in depth consultation and a publishing of the results for discussion. I wrote in and never heard a word back. Again Southwark will do what ever it wants.
  23. Sally buying, thanks for bring this cost up as it would have just been lost without anyone being aware. Just how many of these schemes are being quietly passed without anyone having a chance to comment.

How much money is being spent on schemes like this that do not need to be done because Cllrs listen to a small pushy number of residents. No one else has any idea. So wrong
  24. What I have found which I find very annoying is the deliveries are coming later and later so you go at what you consider to be a sensible time and the shelfs are empty. As I have to use public transport this is not helpful.
