Dulwich Hill Ward -

I use Adam in Forest Hill (opposite the swimming pool)

The quarterly SNT Police Meetings are advertised on EDF - the one Beansprout mentions, is Dulwich Hill. The team have been short staffed for a number of months as one officer was injured trying to arrest a shoplifter - unfortunately the shoplifter got away but the officer was left with fractures. We regularly see one or two of the police team around the Dulwich Hill area (they were recently in Landells Road) Dulwich Hill SNT are hoping to resume their Cuppa with a Copper sessions but are frequently asked to support colleagues policing the various protest marches. The next Dulwich Hill SNT meeting is scheduled for December (date to be confirmed) The attack on the young woman would come under the Goose Green SNT.

Have some cracks in my kitchen extension which are becoming deeper. Contacted a Which Approved Builder and they advised that I would need s structural inspection first. Gave me a number of the firm they used but despite leaving a message nobody has got back to me. Can anyone recommend a surveyor?

We have some worrying cracks in our kitchen extension wall and ceiling and I need to get these checked out. Contacted a Which Trusted Trader (Builders) and was advised that I would need a structural surveyor/ engineer to indicate the cause of cracks before they could come and assess. They gave me a contact number of a firm called IDR Surveyors - left message on number given but yet to have a reply, Anyone used a structural engineer recently?

From what I have gathered from Bradbury Oak residents I have spoken with, that at a meeting with RNIB earlier in the year, none of the residents were in favour of new build. There is the implication that rent rises are anticipated to help towards building costs. Rent is currently in the region of £300 pw - as with most sheltered housing (council and Housing Association), Since these rents also include maintenance charges, utility charges - Housing Benefit is only applicable to the actual 'rent element' per flat.

At the Dulwich Hill SNT meeting last night we spoke about Met. Engage. Dulwich Hill had signed up 185 households. Scheme had been trialled in other parts of the country successfully and now the Met. Police are rolling it out, To the end of August, the Met Police had gathered 17,000 registrations which equites to 2% of households.

Initially, when all the discussion took place at Bradbury some of existing building was to be demolished which meant that 3 flats would go but these residents would have to wait until new building erected to be housed. No indication has been given as to where people would be placed during building. I am glad that the tree is to remain - Bradbury residents contacted various environmental groups to lobby for tree to remain. I gather that there is likely to be a question of restricted views to be made by Wood Vale residents as 5 stories is significantly higher than current building.

It is supported housing run by RNIB, None of the residents support the new build as some of them would be made homeless with no guarantee of being rehoused in suitable accommodation. The rebuild will be the destruction of a communal lounge and grounds. There is an oak tree in the grounds which is several hundred of years old and has a tree preservation order. My husband's family used to live at this address and the grounds were gifted to the RNIB by his great aunt (Doctor Grace Batten) on the grounds that the tree is never cut down.

I think you will find that the majority of venues will not be open after midnight as in predominantly residential areas. Southwark have a list of venues to hire - you may find something that is open until 1 am. My granddaughter usually goes up town if wants a venue open until 2/3 pm

Age UK used to have a list of carers - not sure if they still do but could give advice. Are you talking about a live in carer for the week or someone who will come in daily.

William Bailey solicitors have been our family solicitors for 40 odd years, starting with Bill Bailey. He retired due to ill health and only acted as a consultant in the final years of his life. Since COVID the solicitors work mainly from home but you can get an appointment to see them at their office. I think that their admin staff work a similar way . Hubby last saw them at end of year when he updated his will.
