I recommend Oskar and his team, who came to replace my fences and did a very good job. One if the fences was particularly challenging, as it marks a boundry where the ground level on one side is much higher than the other side. Oskar solved the problem by building blocks to keep the soil at bay and installing the fence posts in the blocks. I now have fences which look attractive as well as being well made. The crew were very reliable and worked hard to complete the job on schedule. I would definately use them again

Well, they're back today. Something must have spooked them yesterday. And yes, like Angelina, my pigeons are also well turned out. They all wear the same uniform. I think they may be stock doves. As well as Mr and Mrs Woodpigeon I also get the collared doves.

They're not afraid of the cats. I have two and they run rings round them. The pigeons look different to the standard. I'm wondering if there's a bird of prey around, didn't see one though

Every day at 12 oclock I take out the food to put on the bird feeder. The pigeons, always being very punctual, form a very orderly queue in true British style on the roof of my shed and take it in turns to partake of the feast. (Other birds do get a look in eventually) . However, today, not one single bird has come anywhere near. The sky is silent. What do they know that I don't. Any ideas?

There are various evening sewing courses at the Thomas Calton Centre in Peckham. Check out the Southwark Adult learning website for details

All Primarks have a textile recycling bin in the store. They take all textiles in whatever condition.

I notice that Southwark Council is inviting anyone with the odd few quid to "fund local climate work" focusing on such projects as "key nature recovery projects and green upgrades to schools". It's a little vague to me. Does anyone have any knowledge on the specifics? Does anyone here have examples of these projects that are coming down the road?

There's a colony of bats at Dawsons Heights. You have to be there at the right time, then only visible for about five minutes until they flutter into the darkness.

I bought myself a litter picker from Amazon and do go round and pick up . No one else does. I guess they just don't have the time what with job obligations and kids etc. Question. ...should we pay more council tax in return for a better service? This debate could go on forever.

I think it has to be acknowledged that in some streets, rubbish is inadvertently tipped into the street after bin collection. That's what happens where I live. I can't blame the foxes unless they only visit on a Tuesday. No-one sweeps any of the fallen litter up. Neither do we get anyone sweeping the streets. I never like to blame front line workers as ususlly the problem lies furthet up the food chain. Trouble is this uncollected rubbish is a magnet for passers by to add to the mess by littering. Never mind potholes. My next vote goes to the Councillor who campaigns on a keep Southwark tidy ticket.

Our refuse collectors leave rubbish all the way down the hill after they have emptied the bins. Everywhere you go you see rubbish everywhere. On some days walking through the high street in Peckham can be truly depressing with plastic bags and paper blowing around everywhere, Peckham and other streets deserve better than this Council complacency. I'm sure it wasn't so bad back in the day. Councils everywhere, faced with cuts in revenue, must have decided a long time ago that litter picking and rubbish collection were not so important. I think a clean, tidy environment makes everyone feel better about their home environment. Btw, I'm ok with a few weeds. They are just wild flowers in an inconvenient place.

My advice is fence it off. No one is likely to complain. I think the law is that you can claim it after so many years. Maybe a lawyer on this platform can advise.

I saw workmen taking off all the branches on the tree next to it today while I was on the bus. It looked quite brutal. I hope they didn't cut it down completely.

Where abouts are they? I haven't seen any
