Personally, I'm all for a pub which has a kid-free area - and, no, I'm not talking goats. Yeh, yeh - maybe I'm a freak but I do relish the idea of at least some space to enjoy a decent beer without the background wail of other people's offspring.


Yeh, yeh - I confess to double-freakness cause I find the absence of a big screen showing sport a huge plus.

Just seen these posts. What the people behind the renovation of the Wishing Well are not saying publicly is the changes to the licensing hours that they have applied for. The licence application - http://licensing.southwarksites.com/LicPremisesAppliedDetails.asp?systemkey=831545 - includes the extension of opening hours to 1.30am on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and up to half past midnight during the week. Lordship Lane we are not, and don't want to be, and the problem for Bellenden area residents will be the drunken people on our streets in the wee small hours. We have until 30th March to object - go to Licensing Southwark and look for a download on how to lodge an objection.

As a local resident I'm in two minds about this actually. The Gowlett also has late opening hours - and I don't think the local area has suffered as a result. Coming back after a night out, we often quite fancy a nightcap, yet can't face Lordship Lane. It all depends on the kind of atmosphere the pub creates, surely?

I really don't see the Lordship Lane Friday night mentality transferring to Bellenden Road - there just isn't enough footfall and those out on the lash will always prefer a street where they can bar-hop.

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
