It has never made sense to call it East Dulwich Ward when there are other wards within East Dulwich.


The name change won't have any effect whatever on the price of property :))

Note that there are some other new ward areas and changes of name that affect SE21/22.


Dulwich Wood replaces College.

Dulwich Village replaces Village.

Dulwich Hill and Goose Green replaces part of Peckham Rye and East Dulwich with a tiny part of College.

Champion Hill replaces South Camberwell.

Peckham Rye will only cover the side of SE22 on the other side of Forest Hill Road, i.e Therapia Road.

House prices in East Dulwich often comes down to Individual roads.


Properties on Fellbrigg, Ulverscroft, Nutfield and Archdale were once very south after.


I believe the Market, M&S and other Lordship Lane outlets have increased traffic using these roads to park in.


This alone makes these roads less favourable. Prices will be on the decline.

I live on the road called Peckham Rye but not on the SE22 side which is nuts that they are calling one of the wards Peckham Rye Ward. And as for affecting house prices why on earth would it affect them? Do YOU care what ward you are in (and what they are called) when you move?

Especially the bit just up from the Whateley Road junction, eh?

I don't believe this is just a change of ward name but also of ward boundaries. So it is not just College becomes Dulwich Wood, as some of College becomes Dulwich Hill (eh, what's that when it's at home?) And 'East Dulwich' is not entirely contiguous with Goose Green which does replace much of it. I can't find an up to date map, but attached is a link to the proposal map.

Dulwich Hill is the old name for Denmark Hill and that sort of area. I.e. between Dulwich and Camberwell. So the new Dulwich Hill seems to be Barry Road area which doesn't seem right historically or geographically, or anything really. Lordship or Barry would be better.


Village Ward used to be called Ruskin I'm sure. Can't remember the others. What they really need to get on with is changing the Parliamentary boundaries.

I pointed this out to the Electoral Commission but they weren't interested. We even suggested that Dulwich Hills would be better than Dulwich Hill if they were totally wedded to this.


I suggested College ward name be changed as it seemed bizarre in this age to name a political ward after a private school that the majority of residents had no association with.


The good this is the Goose Green ward and the Dulwich Hill ward are clos to 100% of the East Dulwich area.

They?re doing that too. In the latest (final consultation now closed) iteration ?south Southwark? is lumped in with parts of Lewisham. I don?t think it makes any sense and the new system means - in theory at least - that we get new boundaries at every single General Election. The latest legislation results in a jigsaw puzzle that will fit constituencies around the numbers rather than any attempt to achieve local representation based on established communities.


Anyway the wards in the old Dulwich seat were:

The Lane

Bellenden

Waverley

Lyndhurst

Alleyn

Rye

Ruskin

College

...and Barset in Nunhead which was removed to Peckham from the 1983 election onwards.


The new Goose Green ward is not a million miles away from the old Bellenden ward in that it traverses East Dulwich Road. It would have been wrong to have retained the East Dulwich name as the ward encompasses parts of SE15 as well as SE22.

Well I?m by the East Dulwich estate in the middle of what would be Champion Hill. How are we not ?the East Dulwich area??

College is largely the same area as before, however it loses the area surrounding Dawson's Heights to Dulwich Hill.


The Dulwich Wood boundary will be the Lordship Lane Estate, crossing over to Melford Road and then along Wood Vale towards Lordship Lane.


So most of Underhill Road will be in Dulwich Hill, with the section between Melford and LL in Dulwich Wood as now.

Not sure what your point is but since you asked, see http://www.ideal-homes.org.uk/southwark/assets/galleries/camberwell/glebe-house East Dulwich estate was built much later than the rest of East Dulwich.


ETA If I was living there, I?d rather like to live in a ward called Champion Hill, reflecting a more historic heritage, just as I?m happy my own ward is changing to Goose Green from the parvenu East Dulwich.

I was just wondering why it?s called East Dulwich estate if it has never been part of East Dulwich. Calling the area Champion Hill makes no difference at all. Everyone I know living here calls it Camberwell on the north side of the lights at Dog Kennel Hill School, and East Dulwich on the south, probably because that is where the postcode changes from SE5 to SE22 (though maybe only on th right side of the road?). It?s just interesting to hear what the background is, and the thoughts of those outside looking in.

Indeed - but the words used to describe it are 'final proposals' and final recommendations (in a link). As I read it this words do not mean (but maybe are intended to?) - 'final agreed changes'. I'm assuming, from what James B says, that that is what they are (the final deal) but the words don't quite say that. Hence me saying 'I can't find an up to date link' which clearly states these are the wards for and from the 2018 London elections.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
