  1. Or you could drive down Denmark Hill with Ruskin Park on your left, turn right at the lights before King's, go along past Denmark Hill train station and turn left where the iron statues are which leads straight down to Morrisons car park.
  2. Was only recently the trees disappeared. I drove through the village last week and noticed how open the whole area approaching the roundabout seemed because these lovely trees were gone. According to the Dulwich Society all trees in the area are protected by a conservation order so wonder why they were just left as stumps?
  3. 60,000 hellosailor? I don't doubt you and that is shocking!


    My daughter is away at university in her second year and has tried to access a doctor's appointment. I can't remember the last time she went to the doctor and so I know she is desperate. I've even offered to phone on behalf of her but she doesn't want me to.


    Apparently they have an on-line booking system!


    So daughter wouldn't be able to get an appointment until nearly two weeks away.

  4. I bought some of my records in Woolworths, Camberwell, Brixton and Peckham (from the mid 70s). Then most, including my lovers rock collection in the early 80s and other 12" were bought from the A1 stores in Walworth Road.


    From the front the A1 looked like it only sold ornaments and lighting.

  5. Not good at all. I thought the library had an overhaul a little while ago? Especially the children's library with lots of new mats and little tables and chairs and art activities?


    My youngest is 17 tomorrow and wanted something called a kindle?


    Let's just hope The Carnegie can keep going for the sake of the local community and beyond!

  6. It's funny how things change.


    I just remember walking home from Kingsdale with my sisters and friends through the village to get to the sweet shop just past where Shepards is now. There were two ladies serving. The queue went out of the doorway. Don't know what Shepards was then and the old sweet shop is long gone somewhere along the row of shops there.

  7. Just to say I live within the CPZ planned to come into effect next January in North Dulwich (although I pm'd James Barber today as he seems certain it will but residents have not been informed of the decision) but most people living in the area can't wait. We went to see the plans during the Summer and had to make comments and vote on papers given to every household in the area.


    A while ago I wouldn't have wanted a CPZ but since the introduction of a CPZ over the road in Denmark Hill by Lambeth, it just pushed all the cars looking to park somewhere over to the Denmark Hill Estate and roads like Red Post Hill, Sunray Avenue, Casino Avenue, Elmwood Road, Beckwith Road, which are a few minutes walk from The Charter.


    I don't know if teachers from The Charter park on these streets as they have a small car park at the school. We find it's mainly people coming in (sometimes from miles away) to use Denmark Hill, Herne Hill and North Dulwich train stations and the P4/42 bus routes. There's lots of workers from King's parking here and then jumping on the 42. You see them with their lanyards round their necks, parking and rushing for the bus. Also people parking and then jumping on the P4 to get to Brixton tube.


    There's even cyclists who pull up in their cars and get their bikes out the back and cycle off.


    There's no let up really, only at weekends when it's safe to move your car! School holidays don't seem to make any difference for ease of parking as said it's not mostly teachers parking.


    When we went to see the plans, it did seem that it would push the problem somewhere else.
