They are money grubbing though. If they actually wanted to stop the mischief (polluting cars killing children at school pick up) they would make the signs so big and obvious no one could miss them. The warnings would be as obtrusive and obvious as those appalling pictures they print on cigarette packets these days. If they just wanted to catch people out to grub money they would make the signs as small and discrete as they could legally get away with to catch out as many people as possible. Which option do you think they went with?

They'll look fine when they grow back in the spring. The trees that should be removed are the female gingko biloba trees that are randomly dotted about the area. These produce hundreds of fruit that contain the putrid smelling butyric acid (the same chemical that is found in vomit and rancid butter). The smell of these tress is absolutely vile and it lingers for months on end every year. There's one at the North Cross Road end of Ulverscroft road and it's huge and stinky. I think they should be considered a public health hazard and should all be cut down.

I think it should be free and they should pay £1 for every one on target. Proceeds to go towards a Xmas bonus for the street cleaners.

Crystal Palace Road and Crawthew Grove too. And Goose Green is full of it.

What a nasty little man

What does this mean? I think you should explain if people are donating money.

For anyone else looking to get rid of a broken TV...

London is lawless. The amount of brazen shoplifting that goes on is appalling. The police do nothing about it we just pay the cost in our own shopping bills. Gun crime is also very problematic after the recent early release of some very bad people. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/gun-crime-london-ladbroke-grove-shootings-chris-kaba-kensington-chelsea-gangs-b1196552.html

Meat Liquor. Everyone can look at me as they go past when I'm in there.

Gilles Crescent seems to be the source of a huge number of problems in this area. thye all have massive drives with double garages and numerous cars. I think the council should gate off the East Dulwich Grove end of their road too and tell them to go f*** themselves.

Looks like this? https://www.mylondon.news/news/south-london-news/peckham-rye-lane-stabbing-sees-30526737

Good to see you on here James. Would love it if you made a come back as our local councillor! You were the best!

It's really not a very good letter. It doesn't say anything at all about the services they provide that people actually pay for in droves that commercially justify keeping it open. It might as well have said " you're only useful for providing free banking to old people and you should stay open no matter how much that costs you." When the Post Office read that they will probably fast track its closure. This is the problem when you have politicians with no commercial acumen. They argue that businesses should do stuff that sends them insolvent. Edited to add: On reflection I would not be surprised at all if they've already been tipped off that this post office will stay open and this letter is just a soft touch but cynical signal that our local politicians fought so hard to keep it open.

It's weird. They've been there a few days parking in the disabled bays with their engine idling. Some of them shop8ng at Tesco and coming back.

That's very disappointing. That sign should be listed and have squatters rights. It's iconic. The Malibu one.

The new tax rules don't just apply to farmers. They apply to every single family owned business. If you've created a small family run business and you pass it on when you die your children will have to pay the new inheritance tax. Doesn't matter if its a farm or a clothes shop or a fruit and veg business, all of them are caught.

It doesn't look like it https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?f[0]=check_what_s_on_in_different_areas%3A239

In the old days you used to be able to access the actual Dulwich by turning left there and travelling down eynella road. Someone asked James McAsh to look into updating the sign when they closed those roads to Dulwich and I think he said he'd look into it when he used to visit this website.

What a racket.

They did the same under the Tories though? "The Southwark element of council tax has been increased by 4.99% (2% adult social care precept plus 2.99% local increase) for 2024- 25, being the maximum local council tax increase permitted without breaching the government referendum cap of 5%. 8 Feb 2024"

Hard to understand this when it is always so busy there are people queueing down the road to get in.

.

Perhaps by putting some comments in there along the lines of your objections. "The document is unclear because it doesn't specifically state that this is a change on policy by the council, effectively banning new loft conversions in the face of statutory permitted development rights. The document should state this clealry in large bold font and highlight how unfair that is and that it is likely to lead to judicial review." I don't know if any of the above is actually correct though.

They should turn into a hostel for homeless people or asylum seekers. You could fit good quality accommodation on that site for four or five hundred refugees.

An alien from another planet may actually surmise that the cyclists of SE London are very problematic ...
