OneDulwich is OneGuy. There are no members. It is not an organisation. It's a nom de plume for an ex-PR consultant that lives locally, didn't like the traffic changes 4 years ago (!), and is still banging on about it. (And that's fair enough - he's perfectly entitled to his opinion).

I have been in and liked it a lot. Nice food, well presented, attentive service. 👍 Just walked past this place opposite Dulwich Library today - I'd missed it opening up. Looks like a nice little space, they're doing art club stuff for kids in the holidays.

You obviously have a political bee in your bonnet about charging VAT on private school fees (although you are still confusing it with charitable status) in a year or more's time. Your long-winded speculation in the absence of any knowledge doesn't make any of that relevant to the topic at hand.

Welcome to the new owner and best of luck with it.

If you don't know what you're on about, don't speculate - just listen to those who do.

As you say, charitable status is unrelated. Alleyns has been VAT registered for years. You're speculating out of thin air.

You are confusing two things (VAT free status of private education, which if Labour is elected would go at some point after 2025, and charitable status, which would stay) and there is not the slightest evidence that either of them is relevant to Alleyns wanting to exclude Tigersharks swimming club.

They had signed above the door repaired last week...

Walsh Glazing Contractors is busy as ever and running a tidy little business out of their shopfront on Half Moon Lane. 👍

How familiar are you with Alleyns and how it has previously run its construction projects, dealt with noise issues, engaged with its neighbours, responding to traffic and parking issues...?

Tigersharks was great for us. Alleyns seems to be by far the most antisocial of the three big private schools around here. They seem determined to alienate their neighbours

They're open. It's Love Dulwich cafe. Looks good - bistro fare (omelettes, sandwiches, lasagne). Nice decor and alcoholic drinks - so presumably morning, daytime and evening service. Haven't been in yet.

St Christopher's on Lordship Lane. Oxfam on Half Moon Lane (park on Stradella Rd). St Christopher's pop up on Croxted Rd..?

Never shook its image as an 80s "rah" apres ski retailer? Or is that just me?

1) OP's dilemma has nothing to do with Dulwich Estate 2) you don't get a parking fine for driving down a road that's closed to your type of traffic 3) if you want to know about Southwark's financial position you can look at their painfully detailed budget info online: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/key-documents/budget-book Or you can read this handy summary in the Southwark News: https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/southwark/budget-summary-key-points-from-southwark-councils-budget/ 4) if you can find a private company that will collect a 240 litre bin of garden waste for less than £1.54 a week, you should definitely sign up with them and not the council...

Good news: a new cafe in the same spot seems to be on the verge of opening as "Love Dulwich Food and Drink".

Smear it with spicy sauce? The fox may drink your whole pond after but it probably won't come back...

My God, haven't the locals suffered enough?

I don't know if the relationship between festivals and nightclubs is as friendly as you suggest. If someone's spending £100 on a festival ticket, that's £100 they're not spending in a nightclub or bar or restaurant or pub. They're competitors... ...and I don't know how much football these festivals really create. Other people would know better. I happened to come past Brockwell Park exactly at the moment one of those festivals let out and practically no-one was going to the Half Moon, Bullfinch, anywhere along Norwood Rd etc. They were all being corralled towards Ubers and buses and trains. Admittedly that's anecdotal.

Do you genuinely think that the local council is paying or making people post comments on Internet forums in support of council policies? The person that you're replying to created their account in 2012. If Southwark Council has been planning this for 12 years (or maybe they hacked the EDF servers!), then you have to acknowledge their project management skills.

Sounds like something Farmers would have. Check the airports websites - some of the London ones have new machines which means there is no liquid ban any more. Obvs you still need to check the other end too

Good news, rubberlovers! The shop has reopened as Dulwich Tyres & Car Services. 020 8299 6467. It seems very busy. I wouldn't believe your radio @zork... Please @Administrator could the title be changed to "Dulwich Tyres opens at old Melbourne Tyres location" or similar, when you have a moment?

There's Bicyclenation at 83 Norwood Rd (opposite Brockwell Park), Bon Velo at 27 Half Moon Lane, or the bike stand at North Cross Rd on the weekends (although that might just be quick repairs and not services, not sure!).

Because some of what's in the photos looks pretty trifling - like what always happens when you put a tent or object on grass in summer, the grass goes yellow and droopy. And then the rain and sun do their work and it's back to where it was quite quickly. But if the damage is still there in a month, then it needs remediation. Brockwell put up fences and security gates because the open events became unmanageable. Now it has fenced off events - same as Peckham Rye.

Brockwell Park has a massive music festival on this weekend. It hasn't stopped hosting events.
