It seems that perhaps we should let Dulwich Helpline stay in charge of the organising, especially as there are so many concerns. I would still very much like to help so please private message me if you do find someone on Crystal Palace Road area who needs a hand. Shame the people we want to help, proabably don't go online - or I am sure we would be inundated!


Its back to freezing at the weekend and maybe snow, so perhaps we can just help out organically, be extra watchful for people. Its nice to know that there are people out there with a sense of Community even if we haven't been able to formalise it.

I can do top half of Barry Road (Goodrich - LL and Etherow Street area) I can do a limited amount of snow clearance but would be happy for someone who may need help to have my phone number. Would ber happy to do shopping locally. I work full time ( as a social worker- so have already been CRB'd).

I suggest that for security reasons that no volunteer goes inside the person's house, and all transactions take place at the front door.


I am a member of Barry Area Residents' Assocaition and I will try and get some feedback from my members at our meeting tonight.

And please PM me for North Cross Road/Ulverscroft Road area

When I lived in Elephant & Castle our local community centre had the names and addresses of all the local elderly or disabled people and they used to deliver a food box every Christmas. Not sure how they managed to get their details, but it was organised by the over 50 club, so maybe they just knew them all. They used to get the younger users of the centre to deliver the parcels.


Maybe you guys could organise this through the local community centre.

Sorry for the long absence from the discussion -- I'm afraid we haven't had internet service for several days.


Anyways, I hadn't read some of the earlier posts in this message carefully enough, and am thinking it sounds like the best idea would be for all of us volunteers to make our details available to Dulwich Helpline, which seems to have the resources to coordinate between volunteers and people in need, and also offer to post leaflets/flyers in the neighbourhood advising people to contact Dulwich Helpline if they need help in these conditions, even if they are usually self-sufficient?

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
