Hi ed_pete, titch juicy,

Southwark Council engineers have been on site this afternoon and have fixed a number of faults. However, two lamp columns have not been fixed. They're returning to site tomorrow to try and fix these remaining two.

Good evening James,


I last contacted you on 28th November and I wonder if there is any information now regarding the vibration felt when traffic goes past the small patch of resurfaced area in Barry road between Sylvester Road and Underhill Road.


Thank you.

Eaery year local ward councillors get to decide how to spend some devolved Cleaner, Greener, Safer budget. The scheme started when Lib Dems first led the council in 2002 with only one year when it didn?t operate when the Labour administration wanted to use the money on pet Olympic projects.


I?m particularly excited by the prospect of improving the junction of North Cross Road with Lordship Lane. It?s one of our crash hot spots, doesn?t work well when closed for the street market on Saturdays. The Bike hangars will be a great experiment to see if they can work locally in East Dulwich ? fingers crossed. And lastly trialling the Dulwich Hospital phlebotomy service on Saturdays. IT should really make it much easier for people to have blood tests outside of normal work hours and provide a real alternative to being at the hospital before 7am weekdays.


This year East Dulwich councillors have decided to allocate the following:


CGS capital:

- ED Crime Prevention fund ?10,000

- ED street trees ?10,000

- Lordship Lane secure derelict property ?4,500

- Chesterfield ?6,000 for upgrading street lighting to white light, ?4,000 for pavement tree pit upgrading.

- Bike hangars ? fund 2 to be decided where most popular by residents ?10,000

- East Dulwich Community Centre (EDCC) children garden area materials ?524

- Bassano Street gating ?2,000

- Dawson Heights tree planting ?1,000

- Upgrade junction of NCR/LL ?50,000

- ED public Automated Emergency Defibrillators ?5,000

- Historic photos project ?4,500

Total ?112,524


CGS revenue:

- Give and take EDCC events ?1,500

- Goose Green nursery improvements ?1,400

- EDCC gardening ?700

- WW2 plaques across Dulwich ?667

- Street cleaning machine extra half-time employee ?11,605

- Saturday Dulwich Hospital blood testing trial x 26 weeks (as per separate email) ?20,000

Total ?35,872

Hi James


Is there any possibility you could arrange for the car that is blocking the path outside the petrol station on east Dulwich road to be removed? As it is all taped off you have to walk in the forecourt or In The road to get past it. I first saw it Sunday morning and am surprised it is allowed to be left there.

It must be pretty unsettling for the small children who walk past on their way to St. John's or goose green school. My teen who saw it for the first time tonight was speculating about what had happened and given how smashed in, it is, it does give the impression of being involved in a violent incident. Looks like it generated enough speculation on here with adults!

Hi KK,

I'm afraid I don't know about the Lister centre. Bit away from East Dulwich.


Hi nigello,

Thanks, am on the case. Housing officer has come back to me already saying they're on the case.


Hi Malleymoo,

That is odd. You'd have thought the Police had their evidence.

On the case and have reported it.

Not THAT far away surely?! Would have thought it an important "secret" (not suggesting by you) being kept from the public...

Hi James,


There is an old derelict former Chinese shop on the corner of Whately Road and Landcroft Road, it has been neglected for as long as I can remember. It's unsightly and I was wondering who it belongs to and if something can be done to make it into a useful specs instead of an abandoned take away ?

Hi EDSE22, KK,

Yes, it is very unsightly. I've tried making contact witht he owner with no success a couple of years ago. I'm amazed anyone could afford to leave things like that rather than making some money from it.

KK is right I brelieve the upper floors are lived in by the owner.

Hi first mate,

Chesterfield Grove. Some residents submitted a Cleaner., Greener, Safer capital project idea to repave all the pavements, improving streets lighting, removing some tree pits. The estimate cost alone for repaving pavements in tarmac was ?80,000, using paving slabs ?120,000. Our CGS capital budget would have been entirely swallowed with either option. But the bid asked about tree root trip hazards. We can afford to upgrad ethe street lighting to white light making any trip hazard more visible and we can afford some money to address the worst tree root hazard and fixing individual treet pit issues. Total cost of these is ?6,000 and ?4,000 respectively.

    • My wife has been complaining about this actually; we are on Crawthew Grove, it started a few years back, then seemed to stop, starting up again circa last September. I'm normally at work around the time she hears it most - between 11pm and 2AM, but even when I'm home I just can't hear it, which she just can't believe, so I guess it depends how sensetive your hearing is... Would love to get to the bottom of it too!
    • Perhaps like Malumbu they compost their food waste?
    • Obviously, but they may be wrong. Not only are we coming up to another population renewal drop after the continuing effects of the baby bulge generation enter a trough,  - secondary schools are closing across many boroughs - but birth rates in the UK continue to fall (not just absolute births which are also falling as a function of the bulge unwind, but births per head). And foreign student numbers are also falling. Additionally the costs of being a student are rising, which encourages more students to go to universities close enough that they don't need accommodation but can live at home. Bubbles burst, and this may be one of them.
    • Exactly. There's also a much easier way to find out how demand and supply are interacting for student housing: look at how goddamn expensive it is! It's a huge barrier to entry for students who want to study away from home. If the price of student housing cratered, this would be great news for everyone except property developers because it would cut housing costs for students and reduce some demand on "mainstream" housing in the wider market (because students won't be looking for houseshares). These property developers (and their financiers) aren't shovelling millions of pounds into student housing because they think the market is going to crash and they're going to lose money! And if they do, it's not really my problem...
