Try living on Crystal Palace Road, since the leisure centre relocated. I rarely park outside my house 7 days a week. My car is often up to 10 houses away. You not having to park outside your property 2 days a week is a luxury. Unfortunately parking is the down side of living in London!!

Or you can try Kings at 7.30am, I have also gone to Kings at this time and was out within 20 minutes. Hope this helps.

What's happening on Crystal Palace Road? Apparently it's been cordoned off..

Well said! There are a few people on this forum that are quick to mention Trident (JCTG)! Let?s not forget that there are families out there that are devastated with yesterday events, have a bit of respect!!

No nothing mentioned about crushing cans, just bottles. However I find if I don?t crush my cans my bin gets full too quickly.

I totally agree with OP! Every Tuesday evening I have to search for my bin within my neighbours gates, my bin is clearly mark with my door number, however this makes no difference.

Have you tried All Fried Up on East Dulwich Road (02077326688)? I know it sounds random, however I always see parties in there and not just children parties. They also supply Tea & cakes. My friend holds baby music classes there on a Tuesday morning if you interested for when little one comes along.

Totally agree Sue. I also sent a follow up email, and attached this thread.

Brown bin collected yesterday Blue bin not collected. I'm on Crystal Palace Road. My recycling was last collected on the 27th September. I called the council and my blue bin should be collected by the 24th October, I mentioned most Blue bins on Crystal Palace Road was not collected and will all the blue bins be collected by the 24th, she said no, apparently if a non collection is not reported, it will not be collected. I suggest if you live on Crystal palace Road report your non collection on 02075252000 or via the website.

I heard on the news this morning that Brad Pitt will be filming in Peckham all this week. Has anybody seen him??

I have a response alarm from ADT after being burgled last year, and I would defiantly recommend you go for it.

Apparently crowds are gathering on Rye Lane (near station)..

I have in the past knock on her door asking to turn the music down and she has been very accommodating. The music was not on until 3am, the music stopped at 11.30pm, as it does every year. If you are going to post messages on here, please be honest. You also mention, the music disturbs your child who?s bedroom is next door. There are no children living either side on 14a I will mention this post to 14a, hopefully she will reply too.

I have the same problem too. I live on Crystal Palace Road, they gather outside my bedroom window shagging etc, very annoying!! I once read that moth balls are good, as foxes hate the smell, however i haven't tried.

We need more CCTV on the residential roads not just on the high streets!! Sorry to hear about your burglary TJ. I was burgled last year and my neighbour reported to the police that they remember seeing two workmen dressed in overalls; however my neighbour assumed these men had jobs on my road. There seem to be a lot of daylight burglaries in Dulwich, I wonder if they are linked.

I also live on CP Road; a few years ago I had my garden landscaped. The gardener came across a metal ladder buried (2 ft down) in concrete at the back of my garden. At the time I wondered what could it be.. I also have an Apple tree growing above it now, very strange..

Denmark Hill Train Station bus stops are now open both directions Twirly.

Unfortunately, not as lucky as i would like lol.. I've won ?10 a few times like everybody else. The most I?ve won was ?65..!

Sorry to hear that THFC.. They won?t come and it will get better. I was the same last year, I'd jump and the littlest noise. The window bolts that Will dex mentioned above are good. Also contact victim support to get window vibration alarms; they are very effective and FREE!! I also got an alarm system fitted when I was burgled and it?s a piece of mind whilst I'm out. Good luck...

A Waitrose or M&S would be great in Dulwich, however I cant see it happening! I've lived in Dulwich for years now and have heard serveral times that a M&S is coming soon :-(

Does anyone know anything about a man needing help on Grove Lane on New Year?s Day?! My brother collapsed on Grove Lane on New Year?s Day and a couple called an ambulance and sat with him until the ambulance arrived. If you know anything about this please PM me. Thanks
