Would you and your neighbours like to organise "play street" sessions on your road - but need some support to do so? Play streets are when a road is closed to through traffic for a couple of hours, typically after school, to allow children to play out. Southwark Council can issue temporary play street orders which allow residents to close their streets to through traffic for up to 3 hours once a month.

Southwark Living Streets and Play London have some resources to offer:

- materials to help you explain the benefits of play and play streets to your neighbours,

- support in submitting applications and dealing with paperwork,

- advice on the practicalities involved and tackling any challenges that could arise in your street


We can provide starter packs of street toys - chalk, skipping ropes, water squirter, big blocks - but probably the children who come out will have ideas of their own what they want to do. We can also give ?200 towards the cost of buying other toys you or your children would like.

If you are interested, you can contact me or contact Peter Wright at Southwark Living Streets : pj.wright1@ntlworld.com

    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
    • I'm very sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that Carl has never been forgotten in our community.
