Sorry, it was on the last page

Fingers crossed eh.

It's cyclists that have all the problems. This whole thread is dedicated to them. Ergo, it's cyclists that should be less reckless. If you want to moan about the council not looking after other people, there will be other threads for that. Besides, all the bollards on Nairne Grove are either on the pavement or on traffic islands. Cyclists who are travelling at a reasonable speed, and riding safely rather than wantonly, shouldn't be any where near the bollards.

Where is the evidence that foreign companies own the majority of UK property?

Makes me wonder where the mice will have gone since it closed down.

Cyclists should slow down and take more care.

The staff in M and S have enough to deal with already. They are lovely people who work very hard at the jobs their employer asks them to do. They shouldn't be put upon to also sort out things that the council or the police really ought to be on top of.

a consultation is not a referendum though...

Sorry! What's more Christmassy, a Guerilla or a Gorilla?

You sure? Maybe also a student cycled into a car on a stolen lime bike and rode off?

Did you enjoy the view to your right hand side in the south west corner?

Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc. Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

Sorry, not having a dig at Southwark for that. I'm just shocked that next door they've chosen to abandon such an institutional community / family event so they can keep pumping out commercial stuff instead. I suppose the same could happen here next although we don't really have any longstanding family events like that one.

Could just decorate the palm tree on the middle of the roundabout. There are palm trees in Bethlehem, and palms symbolize Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Some accounts (in the Quran for example) even have Mary giving birth to Jesus leaning against / sitting under a palm tree. Some gorilla Xmassing of our holy roundabout palm tree might be fun.

I'm not sure what to make of that, Sue "the Lambeth Country Show will not take place in June 2026." It's been going for over 50 years. Seems a shame to bin that one off in favour of the other four festivals.
