I’m afraid it’s not uncommon now - hospitality is having it very tough with spiralling costs and staffing issues- imagine buying in food and getting staff in for customers who don’t show up - they are not be greedy but protecting their business.

Coming down Dog kennel hill on a bike is dreadful. Grove vale is awful tho a couple of the biggies have been filled in

Did the ancestry one - surprisingly detailed

I think the concern is the mast being so close to a school as well?

No there was a case of a wiemaraner being poisoned on Peckham rye but this was a couple of years ago.. the rat traps popped around the park are very clearly marked and tend to be around the ponds inside the railings don’t know enough about the stagnant water, but the main pond (and wildlife garden pond) are behind railings so should not be a problem. The other stream areas are clear running water so should be fine?

I had no opinions about him until I came across him at a public meeting.

I cannot stand him - and I am old school labour. His behaviour and demeanour at the CPZ consultations spoke volumes. He has wasted £k’s on consultations - the results of which were then ignored. The postage costs of materials that arrived after the shut off dates ( plus loads that were never received at all). His utter disregard for people who are disabled or do not have ready access to public transport, plus the numerous caregivers who get no more pay for sitting in gridlock.

On again tonight…

what time of day is this? not noticed this at all?

Sunday lunch and rugby at The Herne Tavern - Forest Hill Road - chef Kam is doing great roasts!!

Could they not just invest in things like filling in the potholes their beloved cyclists come acropper on, investing in the dog kennel hill playground buildings, instead of these bonkers vanity projects?

spend less on the endless consultations (which are then ignored) I totally get that the council's have had their funding slashed but it just seems weird that there are so many vanity projects versus real probems with solutions. I spent today in traffic jams (sorry but I am self employed whizzing around various clients carrying files) I cannot see how stationary traffic on parts of the south circular, along brockwell park and in dulwich village are helping to combat polution. Sort the pot holes on Dog Kennel Hill bus/bike lane before someone comes acropper

I have to say that the lordship lane vets are a lovely team and have no problem with their care in any way.

But that is exactly what is happening - all the schools and nursery on East Dulwich grove are getting more pollution. The closed off roads are the more expensive areas with larger front gardens!

.

I wish they would invest the money from the LTN fines and cpz charges (which have doubled since their inception) in the quality of the roads! I am on a bike and am encountering particularly shocking road surfaces at the moment - coming down dog kennel hill is pretty dangerous and East Dulwich grove is shocking.

Unfortunately most of the local vets have been bought up by investment companies who are creating artificially high prices. The same thing happened to lordship lane vets when they were taken over by medivet…

Found Sogim to be friendly and efficient - no problems

that business appears to be for sale..... I do hope they are going thru choice rather than forced out by increasing costs.... I wish them well

Just a reminder for tomorrow evening!!

Saw 2 woodpeckers in the same tree today on the rye - both had red heads. Rather excited!

Come and enjoy 'The Reel Thing' - traditional acoustic Irish music every thursday at The Herne Tavern from 8pm (free)
