  1. The homemade fishcakes are delicious!
  2. I have used Balfes Bikes in East Dulwich ever since it opened and have consistently received high quality excellent service by their friendly staff when buying bikes, accessories and for repairs. I try not to go anywhere else.
  3. I?m so pleased (not), the ?express? PCR test I ordered to be delivered on 10-12-21 was delivered today! That was money well spent!
  4. I have had one letter delivered since early Dec, it was a bill due to be paid on the day it was delivered (7-12-22). I usually get 3 weeks notice for payment. How did thy know to deliver one bill and no Christmas cards or other letters. Are they liable for the interest on an unpaid bill?
  5. I was told (2 weeks ago) that Woodwarde Road would be sorted in the next few days because our postie had recovered from being ill and was a ?good? (I think she meant hardworking) postie. Anyway, still no deliveries, and as I mentioned before I just hope everyones unsorted post is safe and secure!
  6. I went to Highshore 2 weeks ago, and was told that they are prioritising parcels, tracked mail and Covid packages, and that the SE22 undelivered mail was in a big box waiting to be sorted.
  7. Thanks for the depressing update! At least I know we are not the only house with no letters since early Dec. I wrote to Helen Hayes, and was assured by the sorting office that our post would be delivered last week as our postman had recovered ?? but still no deliveries!
  8. Has anyone had any deliveries of letters yet? We are in SE22 its nearly a month since the last delivery!
  9. As well as all the stated concerns regarding undelivered items containing personal details, I don?t know how ?secure? all the undelivered items are, but I feel very concerned about the potential of identity fraud, and feel completely powerless.
  10. Is there any other company delivering milk to homes in the Dulwich area except "Milk and More"?
  11. I have an old laptop you are welcome to have, please PM me to arrange how I can get it to you.
  12. This evening about 7pm all backroads are gridlocked - has there been an accident?
  13. Does anyone know of any other milk delivery company that operates in this area apart from Milk and More? I am getting irritated by their reorganisation/lack of organisation (or it might just be on my round!
  14. I am working from home and having problems with my IMAC. Please can anyone recommend a good company for repairs and support?
  15. Please be aware that the "One Dulwich" group should be re-named as "one bit of Dulwich" they are not representative and appear to be a select group who are against change. Changes can never appease everyone, but the road closures (temp) in the village are a great step towards cutting down pollution and making the roads safer for cyclists and pedestrians. These changes have been requested for years and it is at long last they have been implemented.
  16. I am keen to make masks and have a sewing machine - please could someone give me a link to a local group?
  17. It is clear to anyone who lives locally that when the Foundation schools are on holiday the local traffic reduces considerably. Increased traffic at school opening and closing times is due to the success of the local state schools which serve the local catchment areas, resulting in the Foundation schools having to attract pupils from further afield causing increased traffic transporting children into our local area. There is a huge amount of local resentment towards Alleyns in particular and their continued lack of consideration over the number of cars owned by their staff and pupils that park in the neighbouring residential roads. This planning application is totally selfish and of course just to enable the school to make more profits irrespective of the local community and local environment.
  18. Dear Fellow Campaigners OBJECT TO EXPANSION AT LONDON CITY AIRPORT respond by 18 OCTOBER 2019 - 11.55pm - better still do it NOW Quickest and Quick options suggested - 2 mins max London City is consulting on expanding its airport and operations. Many of us now find ourselves under 2 flight paths: Heathrow and London City Email response to: [email protected] by 11.55pm, Friday 18 October 2019 We encourage you to reply - there is a Quickest as well as a Quick Option - and some further points you might like to make NB: Include your name, postal address, date and ask for an acknowledgement of receipt Quickest Option: cut and paste the following London City expansion fundamentally goes against the UK?s commitment to cut carbon emissions and improve air quality in the capital. It?s going to make air pollution worse, increase carbon emissions and increase noise, and we object to any expansion, or any increase in hours of operation each day. I object to cancelling the current curfew on flights from midday Saturday to midday Sunday. Quick Option: cut and paste the following or use your own words, adding your own comments if you wish I support the 24 hour London City Airport weekend flight ban. I object to up to 40,000 more flights. I object to more early morning or late evening flights. I object to larger planes - they make more noise I object to more climate-damaging airport expansion. I object to the plans in the draft master plan. Plane noise must be made a statutory nuisance Further points you can make: challenge calculations suggesting there is a demand for 40,000 more flights challenge the statement that planes will be ?quieter? now that it has been revealed by their own consultants that they will be noisier challenge the statement that their planes will be ?cleaner? and produce ?less CO2? there is a lack of data in their consultation documents on noise impacts on health with a proposed increase in flights of up to 40,000 more a year the introduction of concentrated flight paths has already led to serious levels of noise and the negative impact of that on health enormous objection to aviation's part in climate change with more planes producing more CO2, plus pollution from cars on the surrounding roads and journeys to/from the airport City and Heathrow executives must work together to raise their arrivals flight paths demand a ban on overflight to and from more than one airport.Too many people suffer from both London City and Heathrow planes demand an end flight path concentration and share flight paths more widely and fairly demand that plane noise be made a statutory nuisance Copy your response to your MP, Council's Environment Department and your Ward Councillors. They all need to know what their constituents and residents feel. Share this note with all friends and neighbours Further information Stop City Airport: https://stopcityairportmasterplan.tumblr.com/ Since Plane Hell Action is fundamentally about the impact of aviation activity (predominantly noise and emissions) on our quality of life we suggest you include in your responses the following statement made by umbrella body The Community Noise Group: Where there is a reduction in overall noise the benefit be distributed proportionately to those already most affected and where there is an increase in overall noise the disbenefit be distributed proportionately to those already least affected.' i.e it is fairer to share; 'no' to concentration. Important date: Thursday 17 October 2019 Court of Appeal ruled that there were grounds for appeal for all four of the legal judicial reviews, challenging the Government's support for the expansion of Heathrow. These will take place at the Court of Appeal, from 17th October, for 6 days, and will be live-streamed. AirportWatch 8.45 - 10 am come and swell the crowd in support.

  19. Apparently, Harvey Wheeler the estate agent moved out further down the row of shops to enable the ex-Audi dealership premises to be enlarged to give more space for a potential convenience store/supermarket and STILL no supermarket or convenience shop wants to move in! It must be the ridiculous rents that are putting shops off - what else could it be?
  20. They (Dulwich Estates)have been promising a convenience store in Dulwich Village well before the previous one closed (Shepards) which I imagine is nearly three years - I will believe it when it happens! in the meantime more vehicles clogging up the road as people drive or get basic food delivered. The footfall of a convenience shop was also promised to support the new butchers, and all the other shops. We are all fed up with waiting and being fobbed off with another ridiculous excuse for a convenience shop not opening.
  21. I can't see why anyone would want to live in Dulwich Village now anyway, there is no grocery shop and no newspaper shop. I hope the new butchers survives amongst the dull unimaginative chain shops that keep replacing all the good useful shops that have been forced out by massive rent increases. People have to travel to get a newspaper and basic groceries. Not good if you are elderly and unable to drive! But Dulwich Estate does not appear to care.
  22. We have had the sticker, its personalised to the individual address. Seems fine.
  23. Thank you for your advice and the link - i tried it, but the email was returned as not recognised. Do you have any other suggestions?
  24. Can anyone help? I am trying to comment on the CPZ, but the road I live on is not within any CPZ zone - I live just outside a zone. So the CPZ consultation will not allow me login and comment..... Is there any way I can comment
  25. I highly recomend Andrius of: The [email protected] He has completed two large contracts on my home and many of my friends, and no one can fault him. He has a high standard of work and is very pleasant to do business with.
