  1. Does it have to be paid work? There are plenty of organisations around (many registered charities) who need help with computers/IT compiling/editing files etc.
  2. Confirmation from resident in Etherow Street, Hours will be 8 - 9 am and 3- 4 pm, Not clear whether St Anthony's school has already notified parents.
  3. This has now been confirmed by a resident of this street. Not all Etherow residents received notification of the proposals and the 'consultation meeting'. Hours will be 8 - 9 am and 3-4 pm (unless Southwark have changed times since meeting) Buses will obviously be exempt. It is anticipated that this will commence in the autumn term.
  4. Suggest reporting it to Environmental Health I believe that all nail salons have to be registered with them
  5. I went to the solicitors which were opposite WH Smith in Forest Hill as I had to get a stamp and signature from a legal firm. Cannot remember name - might have been Armstrong. They charged me £10 for each of the documents.
  6. It may relate to St Anthony's and Etherow Street - I have posted a comment in the general section by mistake. Here it is---- Posted 9 minutes ago Surveyors with measuring equipment on tripod out on Barry Road on Tuesday . Seem to be pointing up Etherow Street. A friend in Friern Road mentioned that they had been sent letters by Southwark advising that Etherow was becoming a school street (Like Goodrich Road) due to the number of complaints by parents parking across driveways etc. Looks as though only buses will be allowed during these times. No one else seems to have had letters (including some in Etherow. Any one heard of this proposal?
  7. Checked the dates on ours - valid until mid 2024. Hubby had to go for a pre operation assessment and was told that he needed to take a test a few days before going into hospital for the op and on the day of admission.
  8. Try Organic Village in Lordship Lane next to Cheners Book Shop. They had a variety of more unusual flours - was looking for Gluten Free stuff for my daughter.
  9. I get St. Anthony's parents parking across my drive all the time, also visitors to Barry House.
  10. try Knight and Sons - plenty of recommendations in the review section
  11. Try Niko - plumber who has several recommendations here.
  12. I contacted Chris to see if he could sort out an ACER computer. He was very helpful and gave me details of someone who could deal with Microsoft programmes. Very obliging guy.
  13. East Dulwich Community Centre hires out hall for children's parties but low ceilings would deter bouncy castles Although you would be able to do own catering - depending on the time booked as to whether you could serve alcohol to parents. Generally speaking when you book any venue as a 'children's party' it is just that - parents usually get given hot drinks/juice/water if they are staying on the premises. With the exception of adult helpers at the party most parents do not stay during the duration. Most hall hire for children's parties is for 2- 3 hours only/
  14. Age UK are campaigning against the closures. I use ticket offices when am travelling outside London. Found that with my Freedom Pass plus Older Persons' Rail Card that the machines cannot cope with 2 different cards. Ticket Offices give good advice as to whether you save more money by having a different ticket or departure time. Have a couple of friends who are visually impaired and they cannot use the machines so need help. Also noticed on one occasion that a wheelchair user could not reach all the 'buttons'.
  15. James McAsh is a primary school teacher and used to having to control some noisy kids. Interesting that CPZ meetings have not been advertise for Goose Green Ward where he stands. Goose Green Ward residents were approached some time ago re CPZ in their streets . It was some time after the CPZ was implemented in the Grove Vale area and it was streets running from Crystal Palace Road up to the boundary with Dulwich Hill. There was strong opposition at the time and the council backed down.
  16. When I worked for Lambeth, some 20 years ago or so, most of the borough was in a CPZ with each street (or in some cases in very long streets), having a different zone area. This meant if you lived in zone A and there were no spaces, you could not park further down the road or in next road as it was zone B. We were refused Essential Workers Permits and informed we had to use public transport. So a visit to an elderly person living alone and with medical needs could take up to 2 hours depending on which part of the borough from our base, but had we EWP - likely half of that time. I moved to Southwark where was given EWP for whole borough, which resulted in being able to reach a vulnerable person quickly. Carers employed via agencies are not issued with permits and this in turn reduces the number of carers available to provide care packages which in turn leads in many cases of delayed hospital discharges. Medical staff especially nurses, have to apply for a 'medical permit' in order to carry out their duties in the community - another time consuming exercise. I agree pollution needs to be cut - buses, lorries, coaches, diesel fuelled vehicles etc. If my children want to visit me they have public transport journeys ranging from 3 - 5 hours door to door, which is not easy when you have primary aged children -including an autistic child. I use my car on average twice a week to carry passengers or heavy shopping, other than that it is visiting the family in Kent and West Sussex. We do need to be more careful as to how we use or vehicles - the parents who park outside my house with engines running whilst they collect kids from St. Anthony's School add to the pollution. CPZs are needed in highly dense areas i.e West End, Croydon Town Centre, some areas around Westminster etc. but are not necessary the answer to the whole on ED/Dulwich/
  17. There is a place in Forest Hill on the route to Catford.
  18. Same was supposed to have a call at 4 pm but nothing
  19. I did not get to the meeting as had a prior meeting to attend, however hubby went and was amazed at the numbers attending. Spoke to a neighbour who was at the meeting, , and he was sitting next to a councillor who clearly was unhappy. Neighbour stated that Southwark must be running out of money and the councillor confirmed that this was a correct and CPZs were a money raising exercise. I heard that after a while people abandoned sitting around tables and put chairs together in rows and really hammered their views home. Labour councillors over the years have always considered ED and Dulwich wealthy. In the late 70s early 80s, myself and other parents of Goodrich school lead a protest against the council who refused to provide some educational facility to the school on the grounds that ED parents were rich and could pay for this themselves.. It got reported in the South London Press. Do we know whether Southwark News were present or been notified.?
  20. A friend attended the Dulwich Library meeting thinking it was related to all of ED - he did not book and just went in. Said he could understand why they asked for bookings due to limited space. Christ Church will not have that problem so I would just turn up. Cannot be called a consultation if they effectively ban those who wish to attend.
  21. The East Dulwich Community Centre in Darrell Road is used by a great number of groups. Also try the Copleston Centre in Copleston Road SE15 which is home for even a bigger number of groups.
  22. On the publicity out in the area - there is no mention of 'booking' and even on the eventebrite site it talks of being a drop in session.
  23. The Dulwich Hill CPZ meeting will be held at Christ Church Barry Road 6 - 8 pm Monday 17th July. Very conveniently only a few Dulwich Hill residents have received leaflets giving details. No need to pre book as church can hold a large number of people.
  24. The Dulwich Hill CPZ meeting will be held at Christ Church Barry Road 6 - 8 pm Monday 17th July. Very conveniently only a few Dulwich Hill residents have received leaflets giving details. No need to pre book as church can hold a large number of people.
  25. Leaflet delivered to a friend's door speaks about meeting on Monday 17th July 6 pm at Christ Church Barry Road for Dulwich Hill residents - no mention of needing tickets.
