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

But they can spend ?175 million on a new prestige office block in tooley street.

You should also direct your question and request to the director of housing [email protected]. Cc. Chief executive. Pointing out you are unable to receive any proof. All written proof of requests will endorse your case and help should you have to go to the LVT

Has Cllr Barber managed to get any response from a Cllrs Enquiry?

So you are more than happy to let commuters park all day and retrieve their car during the evening which seems to be the case?

Do they still receive x number of ??? for every patient registered? If so why should they worry or change. Meeting or no meeting Far better to complain to the NHS

At the end of the day it will come down to a legally documented agreement or not, as the case may be. Petitions will not override legal leasehold or rental agreements. What agreement in writing do they have?

If the freeholder wants to sell the property, why should he be stopped?

Why such long waits? Do they not have enough Doctors or would that cost too much?

Like using the patch and toasted etc as soup kitchens for the needy why should they not build what has been approved legally by the council

Why announce that you are going to have a crack down? Just turn up out of the blue Stil cannot upset people

What has not been mentioned is the Dutch system has evolved over many many decades. Most Dutch cities are no where near as busy as greater london. Also the Dutch are more considerate of others unlike here.

When have you ever read on this forum that I was in the wrong from either a biker or driver?

See my post of 12th November, all the breakdowns for work are available as these are needed to produce the Actuals

New shops in Dulwich Village Published on Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:06 Increased competition has meant that Sergio?s, the delicatessen in the Village, is no longer. However, all is not lost as the lease has been assigned to another deli operator and the new shop should open in the next few days, a team of shopfitters are working to make it ready sometime this week. Last Updated on Tuesday, 12 November 2013 11:06 Dulwich Society One out another in. Life goes on

You will be surprised just how quick they respond. All inquirys are logged and have a time limit in which a response is required. No Council Officer likes getting such a request which is flagged to managers Any charge ask for a complete break down. dont take no for an answer The LVT is a last result

The whole area is a pit and needs a full revamp. It may be trendy at the moment until the hipsters or what ever people are called etc move on and then we the local residents are left with something we have been trying for years to improve. We will be left with the dross yet again. The area always had soul. I have to admit the scrap yard does add a bit of class From Rye Lane to Bellenden road the triangle needs removing. Look at the area without out the trendy rose tinted glasses.

Does this apply to Iceland when it was called slumlike. Or does it only apply to indy shops?
