If the headline bothers you, Contact Southwark Newsas it’s their headline. Would it be better if it said East Dulwich borders instead of Peckham?

Sounds more like your local animal liberation front

Agreed - the ratboxes are not the main problem. This is the woman who led the replanting, quoted by Southwark News:


“Predicting it will take three years to regrow the garden, Nancy said: “I am sick about what’s happened in the American Garden.”

Nancy believes the plants were worth between £10,000 and £15,000 but even more concerning is whether the garden will flourish come summer.

She said: “Will they survive? I don’t know, only time will tell…. and even if some of them do, it will take another three years for them to gain the growth they had.”

This seems to be a complete non-story. We asked several of the park staff today - nobody had heard of any recent vandalism. The American Garden looks pretty much unchanged. So much for reliable journalism. Memo to self: never repeat a newspaper story before you've checked it.

I'm in the park daily and walk past the American garden.  To me it looks like all gardens do coming out of winter,  the perennial plants have all died back and hopefully will bloom again come spring/summer.  The evergreen rhododendrons are all there, waiting to bloom in May. So I'm not sure what Southwark News is on about,  perhaps they needed to fill space with a non story?! Or they were in a completely different park!

    • Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246
    • You can buy your parcel postage (tracked or any other) online from Royal Mail, they will come to your address with the label and pick up your parcel, (no extra charge) alternatively, you can print your label at home and apply to your parcel for them to pick up from you also. The other option is to drop off your labelled parcel to the Royal Mail Delivery Office of your choice.
    • A silly title, Truss set such a high bar I doubt whether anyone can ever match her level of incompetence. Paul Johnson spoke on inheritance tax on one of the political programmes.  Any inheritance tax is controversial, and he considered farmers should not be an expectation I was underwhelmed and incredibly disappointed that there was no increase in fuel duty; Labour chickened out and I will be telling Rachel's sister this view. Paul Johnson has written a good article on his analysis and that the budget was not at all revolutionary https://ifs.org.uk/articles/budget-was-non-event-and-kicked-big-decisions-down-road If you want something to worry about look over the Pond
