Boris Johnson moving to Dulwich Village? What have we done to deserve this? ;-)


Recommended Posts

I think Harriet Harman has lived with her late husband Jack Dromy MP on Winterbrook Rd, which is next to Stradella. Neither is really DV, more Herne Hill, but the report was in the Daily Mail.

There was talk when Maggie moved into Dulwich Village, that the house was a gift from, I think, Bovis (or some other national building company) as a PR stunt. The building company was being slated for poor quality new housing and Maggie having one of their houses, other people would take note and purchase. Heard this tale from various people including friends who had strong links to various MPs at the time.

 

I believe it was a gift from "Barrett Housing" or "Barrett Developments" I remember driving past as it was being built "Secure gated development"

if the rumours I heard last night are true, that Boris has selected a house on a road that is very much not a gated community.

 

I thought the LTN has made a virtual gated community out of the village 🤔

 

This

So East Dulwich, its immediate neighbour, doesn't exist


Where is Dulwich Village?

Six miles south-east of central London, Dulwich Village is a leafy, affluent suburb in the borough of Southwark.


Straddling Herne Hill to the north and Crystal Palace to the south, Forest Hill lies to the east and West Norwood and Tulse Hill to the west.

Isn't this just estate agents talking? Like when they said Tom Cruise was buying a house in Dulwich village?

 

I believe he did indeed rent a house there when he was over here filming.

A colleague of mine has family who live in the village and this is what he told me

He and his police security will get so fed up of receiving LTN tickets or not being able to drive straight into the village without hitting "displaced" traffic that he will have a word in the shell like of the transport secretary and Bob's your bleeding auntie the LTN scheme may be reviewed

...

There will be police on street corners so crime may disperse.

 

Ugh, another public school twat in red trousers - just what South London needs...


We've had 2 years of conspiracy theorist moaning that LTNs are the creation of a Masonic-cyclist-Marxist civil servant cabal. Now apparently they're I the gift of the Tory grift machine.


Perhaps crime will fall outside the house if police are stationed there. The question is whether that will cancel out the criminal activity inside the house...

The current rumour in the press is Herne Hill. Close but no coconut.

 

Stradella Road runs between Dulwich Village and Herne Hill, so if it is correct that he is moving to that road, it would depend which end of the road it was.

Is this post relevant to East Dulwich, will he be seen in the Cheese Block, North Cross Road, Sainsbury's or DHFC? If not perhaps move to the Lounge or hyperspace.


What a killjoy I'm being on this lovely morning!

    • My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.
    • Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.    
    • My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached. 
    • I just wanted to add to this stream. We employed Paul Edgeley  to fix our lights upstairs. They had suddenly all gone out and we could not isolate the issue. He came round the next day and fixed the issue - a problem with the old wiring in the attic - he put in new wiring for us. We were so happy with the job  that we asked him to do some other work in the house. I'm happy to recommend Paul.   His number: 07802627967
