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
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.
So I am utterly fed up with the state of our postal service (local and national) so perhaps it is now time for the removal of royal approval and The company responsible for this shit show take responsibility
Slightly off topic but I have been informed by the council that the road closure etc is happening no matter what - so not sure what the consultation is about. The furniture just looks odd to me …
How horrible for you -Why on earth won’t people respect the fenced off areas?? Walking my dog YesterdAy around 10.15 some woman was letting her jack russell type dog (half black half white face) zoom around chasing squirrels. (She was too far away for me to talk to) As you say there is the whole park to walk in.
Sorry have to disagree with your opinion about Alleynpark garden centre - gorgeous stock and amazing staff who can answer any queries about plants or garden related stuff. Go along and find out for yourself. They really care about plants!
Alleyn park garden centre in west Dulwich is brilliant- family owned business with lovely knowledgeable staff - highly recommend They are up the drive opposite the row of shops with cook, dentist etc
I’m very worried that this chipping away will undermine the very essence of what the NHS is. Every year there are phenomenal progress in medical advances- so of course we have to keep abreast. The fact that a private company has a foothold in a key hospital is very worrisome. The NHS is not a business- private health companies are - so they need to make a profit. As a type one diabetic I am given world class support and access to tools to manage my condition. The American healthcare system is frightening in its exploitation of people who have the same condition- making patients pay astronomical amounts for insulin which costs pennies to produce.
Yesterday a lady had a nasty fall at the crossing outside marks and Spencer’s at around 5.45. She was laying on the pavement by Megan’s. . At 8.15 when I popped to the shops she was still there. We had a brief chat - she had a dislocated hip and was in extreme pain. I called 999 and was trying told she was in the queue. Luckily there was an off duty paramedic passing by who was trying to assist and make her more comfortable. It really brought home to me how our NHS has been brought to its knees by the government.( It was likely that when she finally got to hospital there would be a 4-5 hour wait. ) You might not be aware but at kings A and E, part of it is now run by a private medical company. The large room empty of staff or facilities where you are directed after triage is not run by the nhs (a friend recently waited 7 hours for a head injury complained about the quality of care and was told it was a private company so the nhs was not responsible) I know it’s been a really tricky number of years but this to me suggests we need massive investment in public services - the endless touting of tax cuts by the leadership contestants fill me with utter dread. Sorry a bit of a rambling rant but I just feel disheartened with the powers that be.
The old Kent road recycling depot has a books section. Also re the comics - have you tried free-cycle? - Google ita Amazing website for exchanging stuff. Totally agree - It would be real shame to junk the lot
Thank you James unfortunately you have confirmed my fears - the Locals who voice very real concerns about the LTNs will continue to be ignored. The council is working with the select few who follow the mantra. Such a shame really that we are now experiencing shocking levels of pollution due to blind refusal to acknowledge what is happening to our area. So disappointing that the council are not working with or listening to.
