Depends on the type of tree otter. In theory, we could lose all the trees in east dulwich as most of the pavements are not 2.1 metres wide. Unlikely I know, but having all these trees is what makes many of our streets so attractive.

Hi James Trees!!!! what on earth is this not replacing trees thing? Have you seen Rob Millar's post? this was a small tree it is not as if any pedestrians/buggies/wheelchair uses were being hindered in any way. How long before they manage to weasel their way into removing as many trees as they can.

Cripes Rob Miller I know exactly where this is and had wondered what on earth had happened. A lovely little tree disappeared. This is a quiet road, so why the heck can't they replace it? Southwark does seem to have gone a bit bonkers of late doesn't it? lets watch barry road and see how long before that beautiful avenue is destroyed?..

Councillor Smith thank you for coming on board. I think many people feel that the contractors Southwark employ are allowed to get away with a lot. The Road contractors seem particularly inefficient with little or no consequences for shoddy or overly long projects, and the housing contractors appear to be almost criminal. Could we have your thoughts on the double yellow lines across driveways. This seems another initiative to make things as irritating as possible for car owners. I think most people feel quite frustrated with the amount of fiddling about that the council seems to undertake. No doubt spending quite a lot of money for little or no gain - north cross road, townley road, to name but two.

Oh Good God. I cannot work out if they are genuine idiots, or are having a laugh at seeing how much they can mess thinks about. I can only assume that none of the people involved in any of the decision making live around here. The townley road fiasco, the melbourne grove muddle, double yellow lines across driveways, 20mph on major routes. the south circular was CHAOS when turney road was closed from the bridge by rosendale. Give me strength.

how awful. I have been there several times and they have been lovely. The chap running the show was charm itself when dealing with a rather difficult customer. Sounds like a completely diff member of staff. Absolutely no excuse for that type of behaviour at all.

I have often felt that many vehicles travel too fast down barry road, however I feel the 20mph limit is not appropriate and Speed humps would be a disaster for buses etc. Re instate the 30mps and why not just have a few speed cameras? one at each end and one or in the middle.

And Charter are not the only school that do this?

no one at either of those organisations give a toss, so that's why they can vent here. At least there is a liklyhood that someone will acknowledge the complaint!

I was going to sign the petition, but as I am not a resident of Melbourne Grove or the roads leading off it, I wasn't sure if I was eligible or not? I live in East Dulwich tho? what do you think?

If it was a wedding that ended at 12.30 = well, let it go. Does not sound like a regular occurrence so surely not really worth making a song and dance about.

yes you are being ripped off.

and have a space in their car?

I thought that junction had been worse lately! so it's not my imagination after all

Whilst popping into one of the shops in DV (Jigsaw sale, couldn't afford anything) I was approached by a lady with a clipboard, asking me to participate in a survey for the council about my usage of the shops in DV, how often I visited and how Much I spent, where I lived and how I got there. All fine, except she was asking me how important I thought the parking in front of the shops was (the stretch from the audi garage to harold georde). I mentioned how often I visited, but when I said that I thought the parking was VERY important and I didn;t want any change she did not write that down. For good measure I also said I didn't want any more yellow lines or road closures, so maybe she clocked me as a nutter and left it at that. The logo on her sheet was tps/tsp.

perhaps the discussion about this (which is on the tail end of the townley road thread) should be carried on here? I suspect a lot of people are unaware of this suggestion and this will have a considerable impact on a lot of local residents and road users. edited to mention new petition organised for this

I have two teenagers at a local state school, and I am so glad they are growing up here. I grew up in a small market town, and was bored rigid. Ditto the drinking, drugs and young boys dying on their motorcycles on country roads. My kids can hop on a bus anywhere, but can enjoy the 'local feel' that we have round here. I remember there seemed to be a mass exodus to Lewes a few years ago and we had a bit of a 'should we be doing that?' moment, but to be honest, we didn't really want to leave our neighbourhood. Our children have the advantage of mixing with all kinds of children from lots of different cultures and backgrounds - which can only be a positive thing. They soon get to understand the types to avoid, and better still, how to deal with them!

oh what a shame. perhaps James can get to the bottom of why it has gone.

sounds a brilliant idea.

what about this? they actually use your exiting worktop and slot a new thin one on top? I have no knowledge of this, but just remember seeing it somewhere http://www.graniteoverlay.co.uk
