The clothing bank at The Plough is operated by an organisation that is often accused of being a cult - Tvind. There is a clothing bank outside North Dulwich train station.

Jazzer - you want TfL to drive the bus over the leaky water main then? You think TfL wants to cut bus services because it has less money than before?

Why do you think they ask equality questions?

Things get pretty hectic at the bowls club in the park, if you know what I mean

To be fair, I can see how widening pavements all along would make it a much more pleasant space. However, I think two way bus traffic with other improvements make much more sense. I've responded to the consultation

I don't think you can just post on here and hope that a councillor sees it and hope that they do something about it. With the best will in the world, "someone online said they saw one dumped somewhere at some point" isn't really much to go on... If you want it fixed - and it's no guarantee - take a photo, email it to the council CC your councillor, and demand it is fixed.

Sounds like a good thing from an air quality POV

When did the Asda close? I didn't notice until today it 3qs gone. Not surprised - it always seemed a bit sad and it was neither cheaper nor better than Morrisons...

Poundstretcher's being compressed, then?

1) a user has to complete a short briefing in the app before they can hire a bike or scooter. The app tells them they must not leave the bike or scooter somewhere that blocks pavements or inconveniences others. It's not rocket science anyway 2) when you complete a rental, you are prompted to take a photo in the app of where you have left the item to prove it is not blocking anything. I don't know whether anyone ever looks at the photos to check 3) it is not easy to report badly parked vehicles through Lime's website or app. You have to complete a multifield form. Contrast that with how easy it is to rent an item - you just scan its bar code. 4) in theory the scooters should be less problematic than the bikes, as the scooters can ONLY be left in the little parking bays (otherwise the operators fines the user). In practice...one other thing to note is that the scooter bays are mostly on the pavements instead of on the roads (where perhaps they should be) because that would mean "losing" a car parking space (which is perhaps what should happen). 5) the solution to this is for the council to start fining Lime or confiscating the bikes. This will give Lime the incentive it needs to ensure its users are not parking stupidly. If you park a Zip Car vehicle on the pavement, the council tickets Zip Car, and Zip Car forwards the ticket (and a chunky admin fee) to the user.

Certainly there are renters who are being thoughtless and leaving them in stupid places. However at least some of them (particularly the ones in pairs or groups?) have been dropped off there by Lime's own drivers after repair/ recharge/ redistribution. I came across a cluster of about 8 bikes and a scooter that had appeared overnight - dumped on a narrow pavement at a zebra crossing. Wankers! It shouldn't be necessary to fix other people's failures (I have plenty of my own) but I do try to take 30 seconds to move them if I see one that's blocking something. They are quite heavy. The rear wheel is locked so the easiest way to move them is to lift the rear off the ground slightly and roll them out the way on the front wheel.

Depends on what company you're talking about. Domino's has employees that are paid hourly rates plus maybe some kind of per delivery incentive, and the bike is provided by the employer. Deliveroo, Just Eat, Uber Eats etc - "gig economy" bullshit where the rider is supposedly an independent contractor, and the rider rents or buys the bike. Whatever it is - the bike should be in good condition and ridden carefully.

Most Southwark residents don't own a car. Most journeys in Southwark aren't made by car. East Dulwich is one of only 4 wards in Southwark where most households have a car: 41.5% of households in East Dulwich don't have a car. It's not because of PTAL scores - it's because those 4 wards are richer and/or because there is more off-street parking and free (council-provided) onstreet parking. https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s89832/Appendix%25202%2520Car%2520Ownership.pdf

Nisa doesn't own any stores. It's a franchise/fascia for independent grocery stores.

Jesus overturning the money changers' tables was criminal damage too. Would have loved to hear the EDF Pharisees explain why flipping a table could lead to a spontaneous explosion and take a child's eye out. 🤣

Nightmare. Sorry to hear that OP

Shit on a brick, that's a fair old whack

I couldn't give the slightest shit about the car parking requirements of schoolchildren, and I can only assume your comment there is satirical. I am only fractionally more interested in the car parking needs of staff. Practically no-one else in London gets free parking at work.

That's a horrendous amount of rubbish. The cigarette butts aren't biodegradable (it's not all paper) let alone the ring pulls and cable ties.

But otherwise his catty thumbnail sketches are pretty on the button IMHO (in my heterosexual opinion).
