Thank you for putting this up. Our pavements are covered in a thick covering of very slippery leaves. When I pointed this out to Environmental Health by email all they said is they will will pass it on and could not give me a date of when it would be looked at or cleaned. Never mentioned the schedule you posted.

Perhaps speak to TFL and ask if you show your appointment letter together with proof of who you are to the driver you would be allowed to travel earlier. Unfortunately common sense is missing in cases like yours and others.

Not sure if it is normal or due to lockdown but when I passed through LL yesterday morning there appeared to be a big queue that stretched from M & S, passed the post Office and all the way down to Barclays Bank, difficult to say what queue was for what business. But a lot of people.

And they all turned up using public transport, bikes or walking to make sure they could not buy to much

You are correct First Mate. I would never consider going to Dulwich Park on a weekend. Below is a copy thread I wrote to Southwark in January 2020. Below is an email that I sent to Southwark regarding the park charges, I have not had a response. This is the real damage these charges will cause not the reasons given by some above. Perhaps people should consider what is written below. As many of you are aware Council Tax will rise this year by4% Try applying for a Blue Badge, it is not that easy as various articles in the Southwark News have thrown up. Dear People,(Richard Livingstone, Eleanor Kelly and Peter John) It has just been posted on the Dulwich Forum that the parking charge is going ahead as it would seem that the payment signs are already up to be used but are hidden. Although I have posted before my opposition I have heard not a word until the Forum put it up just now. I have circulation problem with my feet whereby I need to walk a lot. My dog and I use Dulwich Park once a day and sometimes twice as it is flat and pleasant and does not put to much pressure on my metatarsal bones due to fat loss. It gives us both the exercise that Doctors recommend. Prior to Champion Hill closing it took me 10/12 minutes by car to reach the park. Now I am looking at 25minutes sometimes more to get there. Another ill thought out scheme. Now that this charge is being brought in I will have to consider if I can afford to go for 2/3 hours a day combined with other factors. Before the normal comments are made if I have to take public transport, which involves 2 buses and walking the journey will take a min of 40 minutes or longer each way. That time depends if the bus/s turns up on time or at all. My house is situated in the middle of a hill away from public transport. So it is already difficult to reach a starting point. Combine that with having a dog and the prospect does not really appeal after testing it. Getting a bus with a dog presents problems as mothers with prams that look like tanks take up most of the limited space parking space and space between the seats is very limited. So looking to use my local park which I have done for almost 73 years a return journey will now take me around 90 minutes without the time spent in the park. Factor into that being tired after walking, and it rains having a wet dog on a bus which will not please some the park is really getting out of reach. 6 days a week for me will cost ?24/36 a week extra for something that I already pay towards with my Council tax, which is over ?2000+ for this year. I cannot afford to pay to use my local park Some families will also have to make this decision. Locals in the Dulwich Park area can walk with no problem but others that are not and have have to travel with children, toddler bikes, scooters, toys and the family dog will have to consider if they can afford the park which is crazy. Getting on a bus is most of the time not an option. It might appear to some that the park and it surrounds is turning into a middle class ghetto which might just be used by only close residents. This is wrong. It is strange that Southwark keep pushing fitness but continue to make it difficult for many. Again another decision whilst looking at in a meeting has just not been thought through before putting it into operation. Southwark keep saying they need money and yet when reading comments on the Dulwich Forum Southwark can waste ?25,000.00 on a road improvement scheme at Bellenden Road and Avondale Rise which was not necessary beyond one resident suggesting it would look it would look pretty. I would appreciate one of you letting me know why this is happening when there is overwhelming opposition to it and why you are cutting people off from using this and other parks. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards

All been to the Sir Humphrey Appleby school of replying.

I used to use the Nunhead shops but now have to take 2 buses to get there. As Rye lane does not have buses and to get one means a long walk I have given up going to shop in Nunhead. How many like me.

The Dulwich Park Car Park is the same. One day I counted only 11 cars and less on other days. When I asked the attendants they said this is now the norm. All the old regulars no longer come and the older generation with dogs no longer come because of the cost. So a very useful social club in these times has stopped.. When I complained all I got in response was a cut and paste standard reply saying we are trying to reduce the use of cars and people need to walk or use public transport. I also mentioned that not all people have a modern phone with apps if they needed to pay. Their answer walk to the shop in lordship lane and buy a ticket.

If you have cars parked tight up to the entrance sides of entrance drop you are unable to see what is coming up or down on the road. People will only think of their needs not others With the amount of traffic on CPR I would have thought this is required.

Dont think it has been accepted but think that people know no what what they want for the better the Council will just ignore. How can you accept Rye Lane as it is when you cannot get a bus? Not every one wants to play cricket, party or ride bikes up and down.

The last time this happened on this corner someone was killed. Hence the flower garden.

East Dulwich traffic problem was on LBC, Nick F Show this morning. Justs before 0900 Lets hope Southwark heard and reacts

If you could ring up and speak to a person in "The Office" how difficult would it be to do it on the phone as you speak?

If you did not live in them where would you be driving too, to see the barricades?

Or the council hoping that people will forget about it.

Thought until recently it was takeaway only not inside eating for restaurants

Too many people producing too many children who grow up wanting motor cars. Stop people having children and their offspring will not want motorcars. We can all go back to living as serfs under a feudal lord with our own little plot of land. Problem solved. Apart from the Lord everyone equal.

It really does appear that Southwark is being run by children with no idea how people have to earn a living. Are there enough local residents to keep the shops alive? Because once bitten twice shy people will not bother to come.

How does one contact admin with a question? I can open Dulwich forum on my computer but for days now on my ipad it just says page unavailable try again.although prior to this happening there was now problem An answer to allow me to use the ipad would be greatly appreciated Regards
