Christmas lights in Upland Road

Why has the Council installed Christmas street lights in Northcross Road and neglected the shops and businesses in Upland Road?

Several of the shops are asking residents and other interested parties to sign a petition requesting that the Council install Christmas lights in Upland Road . Your support would be well appreciated.

Any help would be well appreciated Mr.Barber. I did email you and five other local Councilors about this several days ago.A petition supporting the request for Xmas lights is taking place at many of the shops in Upland Road. Many of the people signing are probably your constituents . Would you like a copy of the petitions?

To place christmas lights every lamp column used has to be checked structurally to ensure it can take the extra weight at the top of the lamp post. Also, the electrics have to be checked to ensure they can pass the extra load.


We've agreed to arrange for these checks to take place. It wont happen before christmas this year but expect late winter/spring and then we'll know what the cost of ensuring christmas lights for Upland Road 2010 will be.


Any other East Dulwich locations that should have Cristmas lights?

I agree that the xmas lights are rubbish. they have used the same ones every year for the last 12 years that ive been here and im sure they have been around at least as long as when fireworks were ok as christmas decorations!?? Im all for reusing things but cant we have something a bit more upmarket? Whats wrong with some plain lights around the poles? It makes me cringe every time i pass!

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
