I?ve been running several times a week, as I always have done. I try my absolute best to keep 2+ metre distance by going onto grass, into road, etc, but when you?re next to a busy road this is quite difficult. I have found that walkers seem to feel they have more claim to the pavement than joggers. We ALL need to keep a distance - it?s not up to one group only. As a previous poster mentioned, it would be helpful if walkers/those on the pavement also made an effort to move also!

That looks great, bsand. Unfortunately there doesn?t seem to be an East Dulwich one?

Chris1001uk Agree with the social distancing absolutely. But.. you realise these couples you speak of probably live together, right?!

Great plan. Anyone on lordship lane between Crystal Palace and Goodrich roads keen to do this too ?

kford: No, but in case 1, if he hadn?t been going so fast the damage wouldn?t have been so extensive; in case 2, he wouldn?t have been going fast enough (c60 mph) to flip the car...

Another one happened outside my house just before Christmas. He hit 2 parked cars (huge damage to at least one of these). The guy was apparently 5 x over the drink drive limit and driving without insurance. It?s the second crash to happen right outside my house in a year - someone flipped their car last year. They can?t put speed bumps as it?s en route to Kings but cameras would be great!

I have lived in ED for about 5 years now and absolutely love it. I had the same worry about transport when we moved here but 1) it?s really not that bad - bear in mind there?s Denmark hill, forest hill and East Dulwich. 2) I quite like not being on the tube line- people don?t come for a ??night out?? so it?s mainly locals around town at the weekends. It had a really lovely community feel with lots of independent shops. If you have a little one then the parks are awesome too! The fact you?re already on the ED forum probably shows you?re keen to be part of a community. So it?s sounds like ED is for you! Good luck !

We?ve received an invitation through the door to join nextdoor.co.uk through our door with a code for East Dulwich. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this? I went online but the website says it will display my full name and address on there, which I?m not very comfortable with. I also wonder what the advantage of using nextdoor would be, given that we already have the ED Forum? Any feedback gratefully received !

I'm getting married in July 2018 and thinking of getting a dress in a sample sale, as I just can't face the thought of spending ?1000+ on a dress I'm only going to wear once... I was wondering if anyone had done this, and if they had been able to get it altered ? Do you have any recommendations for good seamstresses in or around London ? What sort of price would I be looking at to get it altered (probably brought down a size or 2)? Many thanks Faye

Hello everyone, Having bought our flat in ED last year, we are looking to carry out some work- some internal reconfiguring and a smallish extension. I am looking for a draftsman to draw up some plans to submit for the planning application/building regs. We have a fairly clear idea of wheat we would like and our own sketches, but nothing official yet. Does anyone have any recommendations of a thorough and reliable draftsman (or architect)? Many thanks Faye

Hi, how much do they charge per hour? Many thanks
