Beautiful Cherry Blossom Trees - Melbourne Grove
CPR Dave replied to ed_pete's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
The wood they are made of looks rotten though. They look derelict, like they are about to fall to pieces. They've also been graffitied. A terrible eyesore. -
My suspicion is they will drop the 53 affordable family homes once they have planning and will apply instead to add another student block there. No one wants to bring their family up on hit site of student halls of residence. I would expect them to be completely unmarketable and would not be at all surprised if an amendment is put after this is granted planning permission tomorrow.

Beautiful Cherry Blossom Trees - Melbourne Grove
CPR Dave replied to ed_pete's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Well done James, and Robin. A lasting legacy that makes the area look special many years later and will do so for many years to come. Unlike the ridiculous rotten street furniture and planters the current lot put in. I wish we still had sensible and forward thinking councillors like both of you. -
That’s an interesting map! The houses on the north of East Dulwich grove next to greendale look like they would have been typical Victorian terraces at that point.

There are lots dotted about the area. They all look splendid. Nice to see bees buzzing about them too, collecting pollen. Good signs of spring and summer to come. -

Could just be a bored parent whose kids have flown the nest Rockets? There have been quite a few lifestyle businesses like that over the years. -
Derelict Grove Tavern - who to contact?
CPR Dave replied to Dean Connell's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
The Dulwich Fox too. Get a bit of exercise in walking up Green Dale to get there and feel smug thst you have earned your cheap cheap delicious pint. -
These aren't the battles of others. People who live here (not you, FFS), like the businesses we have. We want them to thrive. We want them to be able to hire staff who can afford to come to work here. We don't want to have the prices increased in our local shops to fund pay hikes to cover the cost of capricious tax hikes imposed by a greedy dishonest council. As a community issues that affect one group of people who live or work here, affect all of the people who live and work here, so their battles are our battles. The one person in this conversation who is fighting a battle that is not theirs is you, Malumbu. You don't live here, you don't work here and you have no business in this discussion.

Screaming Children Garden @ Crawthew Grove
CPR Dave replied to Ordinary's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Children playing in thier garden on a sunny Saturday is a lovely thing. Much better than them sitting in front of a tv or phone all day or sitting in the park taking drugs. -
New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition
CPR Dave replied to Joe's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Victus and Bobo had a hand written sign on the door advertising Two pints and a pack of crisps for £10. Seems v good value! On north cross road yesterday I saw some blokes wheeling F45 branded exercise bikes into the newly refurbished shop that used to be a mini cab office. -
What are the wider benefits ?

Peckham Rye Park Floor Alleviation - Progress?
CPR Dave replied to tercio's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Some of the problems with the drains are down to the council I think. There was a small lake on the northern side of goose green this morning (probably not a bad thing as it might float some of the dog waste out of the park into the drains eventually). anyway, I saw it resolved by some bloke clearing the leaves on a drain in East Dulwich Road north (at least the bit in the road drained away and stopped flooding the park further). If the council cleared the leaves and streets more than once every three months these problems would happen less. There's plenty of surplus revenue from the roads so I dont understand why the council can't keep them clean. -
Thanks for warning me! I will complete it a second time and include the most unlikely options in answering all the questions.

South Circular roadworks - excessive disruption
CPR Dave replied to Penguin68's topic in Roads & Transport
East Dulwich Grove next please. -
The map for Ashbourne Grove is different to all the others with a hatched blue box covering the whole street suggesting there'll be no parking at all on that street? Appreciate that it has a lot of off-street parking so Southwark's favoured 15m or so of double yellow lines covering each dropped curb would have the same effect anyway. Also, you can complete the survey and ignore entirely the questions about the timing of their CPZ (if you would have preferred for there to be a "No restrictions at all" option). All the questions are optional. And there is no verification process to ensure you actually live in the street you claim to. So anyone can complete this survey and say they live in the affected area.

It was closed over the weekend. Had a sign up encouraging people to go to the actress or the angel oak.

So the park has become a reservoir!
