Hi all,


Just a mention of Southwark-freecycle as a really good alternative to dumping the tips etc. If you have items you have no further need of or have outlived thier purpose (please no gender jokes) it's worth a look. Essentially, for those who don't know, it works as a swap shop, the main proviso being that nothing is sold and everything is free. Have a look at

and no I have no connection other than I am a new member and think it's a great idea.


cheers

Freecycle is fantastic.


I have given away a pram, and collected some excellent hi-fi. It's not strictly a swap; you can give or you can request. The southwark group is new [groups in london are borough-sized so less transport is involved] but i have been a member of lambeth group for about six months.


you can join in two ways; either by receiving email allerts [good for smaller groups like southwark] or by having access to a message board [good for big groups like london] so i get both in those modes. you have to offer something free to start the membership.


Highly recommended, and you [usually ] get to meet nice recycling kind of people like you are!

    • 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.
    • My initial thought was whether they would keep the East Dulwich Road site given how close they are - but then they've only just re-done it so I assume will be planning to run both. 
    • I hope witnesses are phoning 999 to report a crime in progress.
