This has become my go to shop if I need something sewing related. I don?t sew often but every time I?ve been in staff have been friendly and helpful. They?re not out to sell you the most expensive thing and I?ve come away with what I needed. Also the most comfortable face mask of all those we tried - I find the ones with elastic round the back of the head work better with glasses and are more comfortable to wear for five hours. There is also a great choice of designs.

Thanks Pugwash. I?m happy to do this but not everyone is. Also, if issues with masks with clear panels that came up when we first started wearing them have been addressed then wearing one would be no different to me and might help those who lip read without them needing to ask

Sue have you done the latest update on the app? I just went into mine and my generated pass expires on 7 September

Anyone who got a ticket be sure you understand the potential consequences of not paying / appealing. I don?t know the latest legal position but I doubt it?s changed too much since I did. Whether you agree with the restrictions or not or think the aim is money making there is a legal order and tickets are issued under legislation. The charge for a ticket, the formal appeals process and when charges can rise are laid out in legislation. These aren?t tickets you can ignore and they go away like ones on private land. Challenge the ticket within 14 days and the council will hold it at the discounted rate while they consider your challenge. If they say no you (if you are the registered keeper not just the driver) can make a formal appeal but pay the standard rate (the charge doubles) if it goes against you. Even if the outcome of the appeal includes a recommendation that the council accept the lower amount it?s just that and unlikely to be acted on. How are your circumstances different to someone else who missed the signs / unknowingly entered the area? If the council lets you pay the lower rate then others will ask to / everyone will appeal (worst case scenario) Still don?t pay it will increase again. You?ll get a letter telling you. Still don?t pay and it will increase again and the County Court will issue an order. You?ll get a letter telling you. Still don?t pay. The order can be passed to bailiffs. They will send letters, the charge will increase and finally they will knock on your door. They can take goods including your car, your car can be clamped on your property. Not paying is not going to get the restrictions removed but will cause you stress if not worse. Vent on here. Ask for advice but be aware of the consequences and decide if they are ones you can accept.

If you don't fill in the consultation then the council can go ahead with their plans that have probably been put together by someone who doesn't know the area. If you have a better suggestion fill in the consultation and let them know. Though I would say the Council do listen - we lived in the area and filled in four consultations before the Zone Q CPZ was put in and we'd said no previously but the parking had got worse in that time - there have been various planning applications for the dulwich Hamlet football ground area. They've been rejected or amended to take into account objections. Ok the decision isn't a rejection but the final plans approved were better than the original proposal.

sally buying the afternoon times are 3pm - 6pm so you can turn right out of the park between 10 and 3

Thanks Beansprout for mentioning this. I?ll time my visit on Friday to earlier to avoid crowds / loud music. I think wait and see is the way to go as far as the meadow is concerned. Gala seem to have made good pledges and someone has experience of them being responsible. The council have a commitment to biodiversity and have chosen not to mow in some areas so hopefully this is planned. See this page on the council website for more information https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parks-and-open-spaces/ecology. I?d hoped to go once more to see the meadow but the weather has either been too hot or to wet for me lately.

Mons cheese shop Staff are wearing masks and there is a notice asking that you do. There is no no limit on the numbers in the shop. Moxon?s fishmonger. Staff wore masks. There?s been an increase to 3 people / household groups allowed in. We went late afternoon so there was no queue. Tandoori Nights restaurant. The door was open when we walked past. They removed tables during the restrictions and it looks like they haven?t put the middle tables back in so it should be good for social distancing. 500 Degrees restaurant. Staff weren?t wearing masks and tables inside look to be in the same place they were. We?ve not seen it full so social distancing shouldn?t be an issue. Cutlery was brought out as we sat. There is a garden.

Thanks Soylent Green. I wondered about that, and would be checking it out if I find one.

I think there was a planning application from 2019 (in the old planning register) that was granted 19/AP/0634 Proposal : Extending the roof structure to accomodate additional office and commercial work space with a terrace https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications-old/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=_STHWR_DCAPR_9582154 One of the documents is the list of those consulted. Another is the decision notice which states they have to start works within 3 years.

Do pop in. Both Mat and Bruce who have been there when I?ve called in have been friendly and helpful. We?d forgotten rosemary for something we were making and I thought I?d look as I was passing and they had it. Veg looks good and the cherry tomatoes were juicy. Not tried them but saw some drinks I?ve not seen anywhere before with the non dairy ?milk?. I was pleased to see when I went in yesterday they are still wearing masks though its no longer required. Good luck.

IlonaM that?s good to know. It looked, when I went into Sainsbury?s, that they are no longer limiting numbers - there was no member of staff on the door. I did go at a quiet time. As businesses are being left to make their own decisions on what measures they take I?d be interested to know what approach other businesses locally are taking. Also some might not have as widely published information as Sainsbury?s being smaller. This is what I?ve seen on Grove Vale / Lordship Lane. Marvellous Greens and Beans As before staff continue to wear masks. Poached (takeaway) Nothing obvious other than hand sanitiser. Staff not wearing masks Jones of Brockley Staff wearing masks, 3 customers in shop at a time, notice on door asks customers to use mask Caff? Nero (takeaway) Hand sanitiser and social distancing markers Staff behind screens not wearing masks. Sign says staff continue to wash hands and clean and asking customers to wear a mask and pay by card / app (a notice has gone up that it?s a cash free store. Can anyone say what Moxon?s and the other shops and cafes near it are doing? I?ve seen the thread saying the bus stop opposite has reopened and the barriers been removed so if there are queues for the shops that?s going to be interesting to walk past.

Thank you niall

The council sent an email asking me to complete a consultation on how Southwark should look after Covid as I?d completed an earlier consultation and said I could be contacted. The consultation is called ?Let?s talk about life after Covid? and closes on 15 August. https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/corporate-strategy/lets-talk-about-life-after-covid/ There are various questions and you are asked to choose the top 3 or 5 of importance to you. If there is something important to you that is not an option there is an ?Other? category.

Does anyone know of somewhere locally that sells face masks with clear panels so people can see your lips / facial expressions? I was going to carry on wearing a mask after Monday as cases are over 50,000, cases in Southwark are above the average and its one small thing I can do for all the workers who come into contact with multiple people all day to keep the risk down for them and their families. Personally I also want to have some choice around what I can do for my birthday at the end of August as going away isn?t an option for us and I fear some restrictions may be reimposed. Two places I will be going to are going to encourage mask wearing and I?ll come into contact with one person who is deaf in one ear and possibly one other that I know of. I know masks are available online but if possible I?d like to buy locally. If anyone has any experience of clear masks - particularly of them fogging up, or stopping them fogging up that would be appreciated. Stay safe and consider wearing your mask indoors after Monday if you were thinking of stopping. Other parts of the UK are keeping them, Israel did away with the legal requirement and then brought it back in, medical opinion varies but I don?t know about anyone else but I?d hate to pass it on unknowingly and risk someone getting long Covid, or someone young ending up with ongoing organ damage which has recently been reported. Stay safe

Thank you Heartblock.

Can anyone tell me where the wildflower meadow in Peckham Rye Park is? I've seen the council has put one in but I've not seen it on my walks in the park. I'm guessing its in the part of the park I don't normally go to as I thought it was grass fields with little of interest unless you wanted to picnic or have somewhere for the children to play.

Apologies if there is another thread this could have been added to. I didn't see one when I searched and thought it might be of interest. Southwark CCG will be offering a clinic for the Pfizer vaccine at Millwall on Saturday Details of all popup clinics on https://selondonccg.nhs.uk/what-we-do/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine/pop-up-clinics/

Fat is more of an issue than cholesterol for cheese. Everything in moderation springs to mind. This is from the British Heart Foundation. https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/heart-matters-magazine/nutrition/cheese Cheese definitely isn?t totally out, just smaller portions or less often.

I?ve seen a few of the triangular signs around East Dulwich about the Dulwich Streetspace Review. Its the final week. If you?ve not responded the consultation is open until 11 July https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/dulwich-review/

Alex_b that's good know. People and get the second dose of the vaccine and open up the booked slot for others

Here are details of pop-up clinics for those who weren't given a date for the second doe when they got their first one. Not sure how rebooking would work with these https://selondonccg.nhs.uk/what-we-do/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine/pop-up-clinics/

It looks like its Astra Zeneca from an Age UK Bromley and Greenwich flyer I found online. Details of popup clinics in the area can be found on https://swlondonccg.nhs.uk/covid/where-can-you-get-vaccinated/vaccination-walk-in-clinics/ https://swlondonccg.nhs.uk/covid/where-can-you-get-vaccinated/ https://selondonccg.nhs.uk/what-we-do/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine/pop-up-clinics/ Some have information on what vaccine / any age ranges they are for / first dose / second dose.

We had a leaflet through the door from those in favour of the road closures. Agree or not they have a suggestion I wish I?d put in my response to the consultation. Suggest a crossing at the East Dulwich Grove / Lordship Lane junction. One has been needed for some time, more so now. If you?ve not responded the consultation is open until 11 July https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/dulwich-review/
