East Dulwich SNUB has been awarded a Cleaner Greener Safer fund

to help repair old bicycles and donate them to schools. The bikes are fixed, then donated to the four local schools. The funding covers the maintenance of the bikes. The bikes will stay on School property, and will be used by the Children in Cycling proficiency, and other outdoor activities.

With the help of BC Bikes and local residents' disused bicycles

we can make this happen.

Please email hello@bcbikes.co.uk if you would like to donate your old/spare/ bikes.

Thanks

Hi all

We are slowly receiving bikes, for the bikes for Schools project, however we need more. So please have a rummage around in your shed, loft, garage. If you have a bike you feel you are not going to use, please donate it to us, via emailing BC bikes on the email, in the original post.

Thanks

Hi Thebestnameshavegone, this is funded through the Cleaner, Greener, Safer grant. It funds the repairs and the maintenance of the bikes. The project is based on diverting old unwanted bikes from landfill, and donating them to schools, to encourage children to get Road safe, savvy and healthy.

Hope that answered your questions

Thanks

I heard on the PM programme on Radio 4 that the Post Office/Royal Mail will be nixing its 14,000 bikes and replacing them with vans, mainly because the pushbike can't accommodate all the Amazon/ebay etc. material that the modern-day postie has to deal with. Why not, Monica, get in touch with a Royal Mail high-up and see whether they would consider donating old bikes to your campaign, and to others up and down the country?

BC bikes will be shut for 2 weeks - we are moving to a new location (7 doors along) where Puffin Crafts used to be.


If you have a bike to donate, and can drop it in by 6pm Saturday (11th Sept) great!

If not, hold on to it and bring it to our shiny new shop from Monday 27th September.


ps. We have set up a Facebook page for anyone interested in keeping in touch. BC

Hi Ghostdog sorry for the late reply. The schools involved are Goosegreen, Summerhouse and we are waiting for 2 others to confirm participation.

We still need more bikes, so please donate whatever you have and you no longer want, it all goes towards road/safety awareness courses for the local children.

Thank you

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
