I think they advise leaving crawl spaces under fences for hedgies, who can't climb over fences in the way that foxes can.


I also hear that hedgehogs cover vast areas every evening when they hunt for food, so the chopping up of land into gardens and the building of roads is not helpful for them - a bit like how the Enclosure Act did for the British peasant, I suppose

Deffo time to curl up for winter for me too :))


Seriously, if you're having a bonfire, eg for 5 November, please make sure there are no hibernating hedgehogs (or any other creatures) in there before you light it :(

No such sights like this down in ED. nor the owls, woodpeckers, jays and peacock.

My OH saw a jay whilst waiting at ED Station earlier this year :)


And I once saw a greater spotted woodpecker in the land between Dulwich Hospital and the railway line :)

      Buying land from council?

      By vladi · Posted

      I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.

      Buying land from council?

      By Ais · Posted

      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.
