  1. Let us entertain you with an evening of songs and music. Barry Area Residents’ Association Christmas Social Featuring local singers and musicians To be held on Tuesday 9th December 2025 at 8.15 pm. East Dulwich Community Centre, Darrell Road, SE22 9NL All welcome – but let us know in advance so that we can ensure there is sufficient food and drink. Families welcome. Please reply to either [email protected] or via EDF. You can read all about BARA and other events at the east Dulwich Community Centre via website [email protected]
  2. The incident I quoted on 28th October - I had to pick up some forms for blood test and happened to mention my leg to the receptionist whilst I was there. Fully expected to be given an appointment - and was surprised that I was passed to one of the practice nurses who obviously felt the situation was urgent hence the TJ appointment. Went for flu jab recently and seen by Mem HCA. Have seen him a few times now for routine BP/Diabetic checks- Very easy to get on with and gives you time.

    Niko the Plumber.

    We have an old fashioned high cistern downstairs toilet which had an unreliable flush. Niko had to make up one part as no longer available commercially. Syphon was ancient and Niko spent time locating replacement from local shops and internet. Eventually found a suitable replacement and called round one evening to fix it. Also cleared out a very blocked sink.
  4. Our greyhounds had coats - padded ones for the winter. vets and animal charities recommend coats for smooth haired dogs especially. Have you looked a the Dog Charities web sites? PDSA. The Dog Trust, RSPCA, Battersea etc.
  5. Daughter was using her sat nav to get to unfamiliar area and was not aware she was driving down a school street until she got a £90 fine in the post. She went back to the area and the signs were very poorly placed and partially covered by trees.
  6. I notice they also do chicken burgers as well. I just cannot stand beef burgers - there is something in the way they are prepared that disagree with me. Having had 3 hospital admissions and being on drips following eating certain foods. I now only eat chicken, fish and veggie and touch wood not had a reoccurrence of previous issues.
  7. The guy in Pellatt Road only covered Apple and he gave me the number of the guy who did Microsoft, The Ben Leach fellow seems to live outside London?
  8. We used Gary Vu his details are on this site. Leon is also good.
  9. There used to be a computer repair place in Bassano Street is it still there> Anyone know of a computer tech person who will come to house to repair/update PCs? I was recommended someone from EDF many years ago who came and installed all the programmes on my new PC.
  10. Be interesting to find whether they do veggie burgers.
  11. I have a feeling that one of these roads is a one way/no entry - have not tried this route for sometime.
  12. I need to drive to Bellenden Road via Maxted Road - if I cannot use this area I have no other option to get to Highshore Road. Most remember to try and get vet appointments after 10 am and after 4 pm.
  13. I believe those particular shop frontages belong to the freeholders rather than to the council and that the council's bit of the pavement is the narrow uneven bit with the massive trees planted in it. Frontage areas are usually set out in the lease/rental agreement but they need to obtain a licence from Southwark to install tables and chairs outside. I cannot see Southwark agreeing for tables and chairs placed right up the edge of the road. Recall some time ago that council ordered an establishment to remove table and chairs as they had not been granted a licence.
  14. Dunstans Road comes under Dulwich Hill SNT- you can get their details on the Met Police website . I know that the Police are often patrolling Dawson Hights. Please contact them,
  15. Yes. Buses were stopping 3- 4 feet away from the pavement (also happens nowadays due to parking) on one occasion, people waiting at the bus stop had to assist me
  16. Agree - we use the vet in Highshore Road, which is one way and approached by another one way scheme. There is no way other than Bellenden Road that we could access this road. You cannot drive through Peckham High Street to access many of the roads in this area.
  17. Do not want pavements widening in all of LL. There are a few places that would benefit this but if you are driving there are sections of the road which could not cope with certain widths of vehicles i.e 2 buses going in opposite directions. Pavement widening in these areas would not beneficial. The difficulty outside Oro is the number of bikes on the bike stands there - some which have fallen down reducing pavement space. This plus prams etc and outside seating add to the narrowness. People who use mobility scooters which cannot legally be used on the road, find certain areas too narrow with competing prams, pedestrians, and outdoor seating at cafes. Outside Farmers the pavement is uneven. from Franklins to Whatley Road - chairs and tables have encroached the pavement so much leaving pedestrians/wheelchair/Mobility scooters reduced areas. I am against the return of the Covid Widening scheme- I found that where it was near bus stops, buses could not draw up close to pavements and those like myself reliant on walking aids found it difficult to board and alight due to the drop.
  18. Can you give me more details relating to your firm.
  19. We have always gone during the week at lunch time - great place and good value. Husband has been several times on his own and owner knows his first name. I could not go one time for some reason and she sent him home with some spring rolls (free)
  20. We did but they would not budge. Anyway this was last year - things may have changed and staff may be different. It was a man who served us.
  21. I am having difficulties in finding a builder to replace an internal wall between kitchen and shower room. Have contacted 3 'Which approved builders- one never replied, the other visited on 16th October and still awaiting his estimate. The other was due a couple of weeks ago but his car broke down, rebooked for today but had calls saying that he has spent last 20 minutes driving around Barry/Goodrich/Landells Roads trying to park. Did not want to chance parking on yellow lines! Parking around ED is now putting off contractors. He is going to give me an alternative date and I will move my car from my drive the night before so he can park there. Need to find other reputable building companies willing to work in ED
  22. Paper notice I received was closed from 17th November for 6 months e,g May
  23. Price was displayed on menu but turns out it was per person - not mentioned. Even the big department stores tell you pot of tea for one @£? .
  24. Went there once and were not impressed when they charged £9 for one pot of Chinese tea for 2 people.
  25. What nobody has cotton onto is that Dulwich library will not be available possibly for the Council Elections in May 26. Looks as though Southwark are not confident that the work will be completed by May 26 and are scouting around to find alternative venues.
