It's good that you've never personally had to experience poison being left but it is a known fact in this area. It's not fly tipping - people leave food out for foxes but there are also people who purposefully leave food out to kill animals.

Do please take care - it may be innocent but it's really not worth the risk - there are some sick people out there. We have removed it this morning but there may be more again

It sickens me - it means that people cannot afford to consult a vet when they are worried.

I like seeing everyone out enjoying themselves. I'd prefer Lordship Lane to be car free and all the cafes etc have tables outside.

look online - you can get a garage to attend the test drive with you - so you can get some support once you get that far. I can't comment on reputable dealerships - I would probably not buy from the same place that does the test drive with you though

Could this help while your plants grow? Doesn’t look as though it would hurt them

Absolutely Jazzer. As more people realise it takes too long to do their unnecessary trips in the car, they’ll look at doing things differently- possibly driving at different times, not driving etc - and this will help clear the traffic and make it easier to travel by bus. Fewer unnecessary drivers means less traffic.

I agree - do you know if the council are taking steps to prevent that? It seems an obvious income stream if the council were to issue fixed penalty notices, with Community Support Officers out and about.

the answer to slower traffic is for people to avoid unnecessary car journeys and for people to use public transport. Pedestrians and school children should not have to have narrower pavements so we can have wider roads to accommodate heavy traffic. Safety on public transport - for the public and staff is a priority for TfL.

with the right people Sue

Spot on - people choose to drive from convenience, or because they need their vehicles (work, care, etc). There are many who drive from convenience when there are other means or getting about. Any measures to reduce car emissions, pollution and number of unnecessary journeys is welcome. The council is right to improve the pedestrian area.

It’s not just barbers. Think laundrettes, car washes etc. there is a lot more crime in Dulwich than you can see

Traffic bottleneck

The idea of ‘open to the public via social media’ sex parties is a bit scary y. Usually guests are vetted and invited. Sounds like the company doesn’t have a clue about anything

thank you

there was an incident last Monday and I'm wondering if it's worth asking if anyone has kept their data. ?

That's purely speculation Penguin. You don't get to judge that "worries about mistreatment can be set aside" because you don't know the facts. The poster said they've spoken to the owners, who are not technically the owners but only part time owners, and that they leave the dog alone all day, knowing he has separation issues. If the dog is shut outside all day - it can be fine if they are given shelter and water. Is that the case? It doesn't appear to be. If the dog is shut in all day - can the neighbours hear it? is it only stressed when outside? It needs looking into.

Wonder if the actual owners know what’s going on. That’s sad.

No better way of keeping a secret than sharing it on social media. Expect ALL apples to be stolen by everyone now, and not just the people who live there. Well done.

Call the rspca and say there’s history and he doesn’t have food or water and there is no people there

Quite a pity in some regard but will be nice for the wildlife to have some privacy away from thudding feet, kids and dogs,

I'm sure they are just waiting until the weather improves. It is lovely to walk over the lake but it's perfectly possible to walk around it and admire it.

You will need to be able to provide an address before the council or animal welfare will get involved. Dogs can be left outside if they have access to shelter. In this instance, there does seem to be a pattern. We had a neighbour who let her dog bark. She said "He likes barking" so didn't do anything. She didn't like being shouted at over the gardens or her door knocked by her various annoyed neighbours, so it stopped. Just a thought.

do you know that though Sue - or are you just guessing? And that is rhetoric.
