Agree, the merlin app is really useful, especially if you are bird spotting somewhere like Greendale where it's much easier to hear birds than see them! Once you've learnt a call you can look out for the bird... Sue – I saw a pair of long tailed tits in East Dulwich Grove yesterday : )

Have you looked at Dawson's Heights? Service charges were very fair last time I looked (two years ago admittedly), and they're well maintained with the best views in London : )

I got caught on a Bank Holiday monday, I assumed it would be treated as a weekend, horrified – I did appeal but got nowhere.

Agree Sue, it's a bit of local history... used to love that place.

We have bees nesting in our chimney, which is currently being repaired by builders who aren't bee enthusiasts... any beekeepers out there with any suggestions re what to do? Can they be moved?

Personally I think this is a terrible idea which affects the people who need help the most. There is a public consultation, info at https://www.londontravelwatch.org.uk/ticket-offices-have-your-say/ As far as I can see you have to contact each network separately which isn't great, but worth letting them know what you think.

Yes I got caught too, had no idea about this new restriction! there don't seem to be any advance warnings either which I've seen in other locations. I was heading South down Adys Road and just didn't see the sign at all. I don't think there's much point in appealing but I will raise the issue of poor signage.

Kids playing on the astroturf behind the Hamlet football ground, or people hanging out in that s[ace before it disappears under flats. And of course Dulwich Hamlet on a match day! Streams of people in DH scarves etc, always a great atmosphere.

If you are thinking of objecting and haven't got round to it, please do so. Supporters are currently double the number of objectors, this is an important local amenity – free open space for young people and a wild life haven.

1) Putin will see the error of his ways, apologise, and gracefully withdraw from the Ukraine 2) CEOs etc will wonder why they really need to earn more than £xk a year and decide to rebalance the pay structure so that the lowest earners wage is a decent proportion of the top earners in any company (as in John Lewis assuming they still do that). 3) An international law is passed that makes companies accountable for the safe disposal of their goods - from toys to cars and beyond. 4) Someone finally patents walking shoes with headlights so that you can avoid open manholes, dog shit etc while night strolling. I could go on but have just realised you asked for predictions, not a wish list.

I'm not sure this is really about street furniture – it's how we grapple with the issue of using cars less. As a cyclist, walker and occasional motorist (and local resident and parent of local school children) I welcome the attempts to make driving not the best option. This junction was always a nightmare for parents and children, Dulwich Village had horrendous traffic and encouraging the kids to use bikes felt like the dangerous option. I have seen many more parents and kids doing the school run on bikes which is better for everyone. I think this is a great place for kids and parents to catch up after school, and it's now a lot more colurful! I don't think they have made the best job of road marking etc but it's going in the right direction IMHO.

It's generally worth checking the petitions to parliament because the gov has to respond to these, including considering it for a debate, once they get past 100,000 – so at least it gets noticed. There is one here https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/619781 that calls for a general election to decide who should take this mess forward. It's already over 500k so due for a response but still worth signing.

We have a shared sewer with neighbour and in the past when there has been a problem, such as a blockage, the council has come to sort it. So unless the rules have changed (this was a while ago) you're right, and the council is responsible for this. No idea which dept, environmental health?
