Another recommendation for Niko.He recently carried out a few plumbing tasks. He's reliable,friendly and very knowledgable.

The post office provides a range of personsl and business services for numerous banks.

Alternatively if you have a fairly large amount could consider taking it to Gordon Grove scrap merchants near Loughborough junction.

I think there is free parking for 2 hours but need to enter registration details in machines near reception.

Steve is a long term friend and lovely person. His house always brings a smile when passing.

Spoke to Postie yesterday whilst walking up Chesterfield Grove about postal delays. They mentioned being assigned for the next fortnight to clear some of the backlog.

This is due to be introduced from September 13th and includes Lordship Lane & Denmark Hill https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/24-7-bus-lanes-for-major-southwark-roads-including-tower-bridge-road-and-borough-high-street/

Another strong recommendation for Oskars and his hard-working team Jurijs and Casper who removed tricky old fencing and replaced it. Oskar oversaw the job and was available for advice but his team are very knowledgeable. Oskars took a while to forward quotation but the wait and final finish of the work was worth it.

Was passing ED Station earlier and noticed a lorry has caused some damage to a section of the Flats quite close to Grove Vale Library . Usually the damage has been to the corner flat.

Tend to frequent either Camberwell New Road ( opp. KFC) or Walworth Road ( Near to Morrisons) . Both also have print and pay options.

It's a postal survey , lol. I've just received one.

The Survey from the local Councillors / MP is now out regarding the ongoing issues of Royal Mail deliveries in the area. Unfortunately it doesn't state a deadline for responses.

Action Records are also good for online purchases. https://www.actionrecords.co.uk/

The police have cordoned off part of Melbourne Grove ( North side) due to a robbery on an adjoining road.

Hi Terri Good to see Sainsburys DKH and Dulwich Hamlet FC shop are backing this worthwhile project. I sent you a pm recently regarding a local GP surgery who are interested in obtaining a Red Box. Regards

Thanks Rch for your detailed response. Most appreciated.

Has anyone else heard / noticed the helicopter which has been hovering over the area near to ED train station for over an hour ? Otherwise hopefully not a very large drone.

Hi Robin Is there a schedule for annual pruning of trees as noticed those particularly on Melbourne Grove , near shops on both sides , had become badly overgrown end growing towards windows. I contacted James McAsh who arranged for their recent pruning.

Community Christmas is also quite useful. https://communitychristmas.org.uk/

Just a quick heads up if you were due to collect an item today and received a non delivery card yesterday. They've displayed notices indicating items are unlikely to be available today due to a system fault.
