Would really recommend Söderberg East Dulwich which opened recently been twice - once for fantastic cinnamon buns and tonight for pizzas which were really good and 2 for 1 on Tuesdays from 5pm. Lovely general manager and staff.

Hi, We are looking for a man and a van to move a large cupboard just two streets on Saturday or Sunday. We are happy to help carry the cupboard from first floor to bedroom on first floor. Thanks

Highly recommended. Mick from A1 chimney sweeps did a great job today,very tidy and a member of National association of chimney sweeps.

Can anyone recommend someone to tile my garden path? Thank you

Can anyone recommend a good builder/bricklayer to rebuild a garden wall and fix new railings? Thank you

This organisation does wonderful work please visit their website if you are considering adopting a dog. https://www.facebook.com/cy2ukdogrehomings

I highly recommend Andy who has plastered most of our house and rendered the outside. Very reliable, friendly and leaves everything clean and tidy. Happy for you to view this work on our house. Andy 07786 471792

Just wanted to recommend T-Positive Interior Design and Building Services. They were recommended to me via the forum as we needed some advice and a structural engineer. Robert and his structural engineer couldn't have been more professional or helpful, they meet our tight deadline and were a pleasure to deal with. www.tpid.co.uk 07931581279

DaveR I find it very offensive that you should label a widely held concern about the need for further research and the fact the Council of Europe has called for 3G/4G masts to be banned within the vicinity of schools and densely populated residential areas because of concerns about the potential effects of radiation and electromagnetic fields "scientific illiteracy and/or deceptive scaremongering tactics"

DaveR Objections are based on a range of issues and I see you have choosen not to address this.

We have used Lee on a number of occasions moving the contents of our house into storage and on smaller jobs. I have always found him very helpful and careful when moving fragile objects. Lee worked in a very organised way and this took the stress out of the situation. Lee 07977 516066

Penguin68 The reports you highlight mostly cover mobile phone usage rather than masks so I don't know how relevant James would find them. The recent report you highlight concludes by recommending further studies to look at the behavioural/neurological outcomes of mobile phone usage on children, as well as to examine other areas like its potential impact upon sleep and brain function among other things. The two older reports from 2012 do not cover 4G technology but 3G and state: "Scientists found no convincing proof that radio waves from mobile phones cause brain tumours or any other type of cancer, but cautioned that they had too little information to assess the risk beyond 15 years of usage." "Some research reviewed by the group found that mobile phone radiation might cause subtle changes to low frequency brain waves that could be picked up by electroencephalograms (EEGs), but it was unclear whether the effects were consistent and had any health implications." "In making recommendations for future research, the report emphasised a need to focus on new and emerging devices that emit radiofrequency radiation, and to gather more data on cancer risk among those who have used phones for more than 15 years." The Cancer Research Uk site states: "Mobile phones are a relatively recent invention. So far, studies have indicated that using these phones for about 10 years is unlikely to cause cancer. But we cannot be completely sure about their long-term effects. And there have not been enough studies looking at how mobile phone use could affect the health of children." "Research is underway to fill both of these gaps in our knowledge. Until we get a conclusive answer, the Government recommends some precautions for people who have concerns." " And children under the age of 16 should only use mobile phones for essential calls."

Penguin68 "In fact, having a mast near schools is evidentially beneficial for children, whose phone will be emitting that much less radiation than if they are struggling to pick up a signal." I am not sure how many 2 to 4 year old children at Half Moon Montessori nursery opposite the site carry mobile phones or indeed how many 4 to 8 year olds at the Judith Kerr school next to the site have have mobile phones so I do not think this will be beneficial to these children' The proposed site in next to a school and opposite a nursery so I don't think it is unreasonable to use the precautionary principle and choose to site the mast elsewhere.

James thank you for your support. The 73 people who have lodged objections since this was bought to the local schools and communities attention on Monday are worried about a range of issues not just the health issues. These issues are: 1.There has not been adequate consultation with the local community, no information has been posted to local residents and have not seen any evidence of pre-planning consultation. As part of the Mobile Operators Association's 10 commitments, they are supposed to consult the community before the planning application is lodged and when the proposed mast is in or near a school, undertake extra public consultation and contact the school's governing body. 2. This is the type of transmitter appropriate for rural locations with low population densities not for heavily populated urban environments with a high density of young children. The local area has 8 schools within 1km including: Judith Kerr, Half Moon Montessori nursery, Dulwich Hamlets, Dulwich Infants, Japs, JAGs, Charter, Herne Hill School, and Alleyns. 3. This junction is in constant use by young children on bikes, scooters and on foot as they move to and from schools and nursery. The proposed cabinets at street level will restrict a very busy pavement area (which was widened for safety reasons) and is very unhelpful in a residential area that is committed to working towards improving safe routes to school. 4. This mast would tower over the local mature trees and the proposed cabinets will have a significant negative impact on the aesthetics of the local area.

Thank you for your support and congratulations that your hard work on the new secondary school for East Dulwich has resulted in a new school. As you will see from objections so far, there has also not been the level of community consultion expected. "As part of the Mobile Operators Association's 10 commitments, they are supposed to consult the community before the planning application is lodged and when the proposed mast is in or near a school, undertake extra public consultation and contact the school's governing body. As a member of the local community I have not seen any evidence of this pre-planning consultation (including in the applicant's list of consultees in their application form). I therefore also object to this proposal as it does not appear follow the mobile operators' industries own guidelines."
