I am a frequent cyclist in the area (I commute to work 3 days a week on my bike) I do not like the LTNS as they have created stationary traffic on East Dulwich Grove which one has to navigate. I then turn down Carlton Ave to the Junction with the lights. This junction now feels very unsafe - the lack of cars means that there is a free for all - the normal rules of the road don't apply. Lots of cyclists ignoring the lights completely, whilst children on bikes/scooters/scateboards are all over the show. Plus of course those cargo bikes jumping the lights)I do, of course, slow down, (and actually obey the cycle lights) but one never knows whats going to happen. The south circular is usually stationary (exascerbated by the thames water works) but again, I can use the shared space cycle paths but the pollution is just not good. For me the ultimate negative is the affect on public transport... esp any buses using the south circular - such as the P13 which serves alot of the schools in west dulwich. I think alot of people are very keen on active travel anyway - take away the traffic jam LTNs and I suspect all the cycle users will continue to increase.

The cost of BT sports and sky sports to pubs, in many cases, outweigh any income that showing the games may generate

I think a lot of the problems are not caused by legit line users, but lots of the youngsters who use them - just forcing thru the brake (if you hear the bike clattering that is the case) I think there is also some sort of kudos in leaving them in really stupid places….

Over 2 weeks waiting for a bank card….

I know lots of children who have gone there very happily. Secondary schools are quite a big change however I believe that year 7’s are given their own playground so as not to be overwhelmed by the big kids (hopefully still the case) they soon get used to the hurly burly of big school. I went to a single sex school so was adamant that mine would go to mixed!!! Good luck

Have found them really helpful when Lloyds have let me down

A small dog has just run out of Dulwich park. My daughter tried to catch it but it has run down lordship lane - just now. Do hope it is safe!!!

crikey that has jogged some memories!!! totally forgot the irish shop!! I always remember the second hand baby/pram shop next door to EDT. if you get any good photos you should post them here!

I'm afraid I don't know about that - they have a good website so there may be some info there

Cakebox - bottom of rye lane - did a splendid pesonalised cake for us

I believe it is the laundromat on lordship lane that is closing due to owner passing away. Still interested in the comparison between a service wash (wash and dry)- £10-12 and what is costs at home Yes I know I should be able to work it out but I am a dunce!!

Me too!!

Yes lots of people and police

oh thats a shame - the Lloyds on NCR is in utter chaos now - not sure what has happened but they seem unable to cope with the simplest transaction.

For me the issue is that private medical information is being shared with Southwark. Fine if NHS were undertaking this initiative but I absolutely would not trust Southwark with confidential info.

Thanks for the heads up - signed. It’s a massive development and not appropriate

A contractor said that the hidden rainwater gullies were leaking resulting in ceilings coming down etc. looks like a big job!

What about Crystal Palace ? Up by the triangle?

If you can, move to somewhere close to Peckham rye station. All local primary schools good, lively and vibrant, bellenden road area great plus close to lordship lane nappy valley. Easy access to honour oak via train. A great place to bring up kids

No post for a week now. I’m not sending cards this year as there doesn’t seem any point!

Herne tavern for drinks every year

That is the exact response I had - they said it was due to industrial action and they had not received any complaints about the closure of the local sorting office!! They really are in complete denial about this!!

Public transport on some routes has become pretty bad as it is stuck in very bad traffic due to road closures (LTNs) the south circular is often stationary nowadays.. particularly from gallery road to lordship lane.
