Hi everyone, an important APPEAL: We need to raise ?2,000 towards the legal aid we?ve secured to take Lambeth council to task on their role in enabling Cherry Tree?s impending closure. We have set up a Justgiving page and it?d be amazing if everyone could share this the groups they alerted about our petition and encourage donations. If everyone who signed were to give ?1-2 we would smash the target in no time. Suggested email/WhatsApp intro:


Many of you wonderfully signed our petition back in April to save Cherry Tree Children?s Centre and Nursery. Unfortunately Lambeth Council and the Trust operating Cherry Tree have not been responsive to our relentless campaign, leaving us no choice than to bring a legal challenge to the council. We have been awarded legal aid but have to fundraise ?2,000 towards initial legal fees. Please help us and donate what you can. No amount is too small and if 1,000 people gave ?2 (less than the price of a cup of coffee) we would reach our target in no time!


Please do consider giving if you oppose the closure of vital childcare facilities and want to help us fight for maintaining a wonderful resource for children and families now and in the future. Thank you! To give: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/cherry-tree-action-group

    • Depends on who can afford to purchase or lease it and what The Dulwich Estate, Stonegate and Southwark Council will allow to be built or operate on the site. Whatever it is, it needs to attract footfall for itself and businesses around it. The question to ask is what does that part of Dulwich need, that is not within the locality, which will attract custom and footfall, that the site can accommodate and that can offer parking which it already has available. In between Cox's Walk, Dulwich Village, Dulwich College and the park, some sort of establishment that sells drinks and meals. Bit then I'm just chucking ideas around, or maybe someone, Dean, has some radical idea's to take it in a totally different direction.    Whatever it becomes it has to be better than the rotting site and eyesore it currently is. Good luck to anyone who takes on the project to redevelop the former Grove Tavern. 
    • Some of the problems with the drains are down to the council I think. There was a small lake on the northern side of goose green this morning (probably not a bad thing as it might float some of the dog waste out of the park into the drains eventually).  anyway, I saw it resolved by some bloke clearing the leaves on a drain in East Dulwich Road north (at least the bit in the road drained away and stopped flooding the park further). If the council cleared the leaves and streets more than once every three months these problems would happen less. There's plenty of surplus revenue from the roads so I dont understand why the council can't keep them clean.
    • Hi all,  We recently had the front badge stolen from our VW Golf, the car sensor is kept behind the badge and was also stolen. This was two weeks ago and since then have noticed other VWs around ED had also had the same issue, a badge and sensor stolen.  We've been quoted over £1000 from our local VW garage to replace these.  I am aware this has been going on for some time in South London generally (https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/04/vw-cars-parts-theft-cruise-control-sensors-insurance-golf-passat), which leads me to think... a.) It's VWs issue for this terrible design fault so why should we pay b.) If we do get a new sensor and badge the same thing will surely happen again, thus leading to further costs down the line I wonder if anyone else who had this issue is on the group? And how they dealt with VW? They are being very unhelpful and in our most recent correspondence said we 'should have kept the car in a garage' 🫠
    • The long empty site at the top of Lordship Lane by the Library is now a cute little bar and restaurant -  Victus and Bibo.  We had a few beers there on Saturday night and it was very welcoming.
