What has to be remembered is that writing to mortgage companies after demands have been sent is to elicit the response that they will not pay if in dispute or if they have not been instructed to do so by the house owner. This response will then provide the means to take the matter to court to get judgement in their favor for outstanding charges and then the mortgage company will immediately pay the full amount once this has been sent to them.

Lets hope that this is the case. Or let's get Iceland listed as a community asset Will upset many people

Will the watch man be going from the market? A valuable asset. Any answer?

Before bills are sent out you should have received in detail "A notice of intention" prior to tendering providing a 30 day oberservation period and then "A notice of proposal" along with a statement giving the result of the tender process. A 30 day observation period must be given to allow leaseholders to make comments on the prices received. Both are important steps for initiating Major Works

How many people remember the disco club opposite Burger King in the 1970's and bobby king and the sabres at the co.op hall and the teen and twenty club in kimpton road. Magic times

Which is what they want as it produces money.

Yes. Before the trendy tat there were many useful shops. Ossie the plumber, Dackecome car spares/ The turkish deli, Bakery, Chaz, Many small grocers.The Prince Albert. Mr Patel the papershop. The dry Cleaner, The very good cafe. Chinese takeaway. Takeaway foodshops. It has always been a useful street, but then there are not many of us left before the gentification who remember

Agree. Even the minimarts prices are slowly rising to take advantage of this new influx. We will soon have two expensive food shops.

Gerri Scott is a lady.

Perhaps someone has the sense to look to the future and not 5 minute fad in the area before it moves elsewhere.

I seem to recall this was mentioned as one of the main causes back in 2004? Is there a plan that could be put on the forum of the dykes or what ever that will be put in Dulwich Park so we have some idea of what is going to happen. Many thanks

A true local will always admit they f..Ked up

Why should any park bear this, it has never been a problem until the area became what it is now. Am glad I have managed to survive so far. What would happen if Rose the butcher and Moxons flooded. Not to mention the insects that will drown. Give me a break

You dont go for a shopping experience, you go for kit you use in sport. Will be missed when they go, perhas LL and the Indi shops will be able to supply the same kit at the same price? lol

If its on twitter its of no use to me

How will these mounds effect the visual aspect of the park. Is there a plan you could put up to show where they will be in the park

I suppose we should look on the brightside, It will enable Southwark to put in place another expensive department with a good fancy name and offer employment to all. Unfortunatley a 1 in 75 year statisical risk is all that is required to set the ball rolling.

Thank you for the reply. I am in my late 60's and have always lived in the area and can recall much of the flooding is due to 2 things, not keeping the sewers and drains cleared, And burst water pipes which the blocked drains etc cannot carry away. How many times can people recall seeing a regular drain cleaning lorry on the streets I cannot ever recall a Biblical flood in the area due to adverse weather Perhaps other long standing residents can comment

Silly question. How does the water get into Dulwick Park?

I seem to recall that these floods happened because the drains were all blocked after not being cleaned for a long time. When was the last great flood to engulf Dulwich?

So a shop the majority of residents want and use. Unlike many of the others on LL. He makes money supplying want people want, it not they would go bust. This shop has been there since the begining of time.

If you take the time many stalls in rye lane produce what every you want. And you can haggle there if you want to slum it, according to the the ed creed. Much cheaper than ll. Depends on your mind set. It is overall a sh..t hole but it works for me
