Has anyone else been woken up by an acrid smoky smell in the early hours around CPR/Darrell Road? Has happened a couple of times in the past month, most recently this morning.

Thank you!

Hello, Can anyone recommend a good local window and gutter cleaner? Thank you in advance, Rory

Hello, I'd be grateful if anyone can offer any recommendations for good local window cleaners and gutter clearers. Thanks, Rory

East Dulwich gets a (dubious) mention in Vice's list of London's "most heterosexual neighbourhoods". https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkgek9/london-neighbourhoods-straightest

Can anyone recommend a local company that cleans carpets? I have a sizeable tea stain on a cream carpet that I cannot remove with off the shelf stain removers. Thanks.

The Co-op on Lordship Lane also has a battery collection point to the right of the counter.

Big Sainos on DKH.

Unfortunately someone attempted forced entry through our kitchen doors last night on Darrell Road. Luckily they weren't successful and the only damage was to the flower beds and the door lock. Just wanted to let people know to be vigilant and make sure your back doors are locked.

The Denmark Hill vaccination site is at the Weston Education Centre at Kings.

We don't have any experience of purchasing loft space from Southwark Council, but we were granted permission for a roof terrace as part of a loft conversion. We are mid-terrace and the roof terrace was only permitted on the basis that it is 2mx2m and doesn't take up much of the roof area. The pre-application process was definitely worth it and made the formal process run a lot smoother.

Thames Water has confirmed there is a burst water main in the area which is affecting supply.

Experiencing very low water pressure in Darrell Road for the last few hours. Anyone else having any issues?

Quick Print on Oglander Road might be able to help - never used them myself...

I have to agree. I can drive but do not own a car and live on one of the roads in the scope of the consultation. Whilst I appreciate that public transport will not be appropriate for everyone and every journey, I am in support of any measures that will mean fewer car journeys are made in the borough, which (according to my limited research) controlled parking does (Scientific American). Done sensitively, controlled parking can have a positive economic impact on an area.

Nothing in Darrell Road either.

...and it appears to have happened again. With the builders? yard up the road it looks like this will be a common occurrence.

To celebrate 20 years of the release of 'Spice World: The Movie', I am trying to arrange a screening at the East Dulwich Picturhouse. For those that are interested, we only need 16 more tickets sold to guarantee the screening. Tickets available at the link below: https://www.ourscreen.com/screening/44305

Sorry Jo31, do you mean Grove Vale and Melbourne Grove?

We used William Wates of fedalah (www.fedalahltd.co.uk) when we needed a full structural survey of a property we were looking to buy in East Dulwich. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Thanks, @ed_pete! Very useful.

I live on East Dulwich Grove, but am unfamiliar with historic CPZ proposals. Would someone kindly provide a brief summary of what was proposed and what was decided (if anything)?

Assuming that one of you can drive, you might try Zipcar (or similar service) to hire a small van for a couple of hours. I have heard no complaints from my friends that have used these services for similar reasons.
