OP is wrapped in such hyperbole that it takes a couple of reads to extract the key point, which is exactly what you say it is. Obviously if the tickets were issued before the signs went up then they should be reversed. If OP is really concerned about it then they should also email the parking enforcement team to ask them to cancel those tickets themselves instead of waiting for the drivers to challenge them.

It is true that the Council must give due consideration to WDAG's submissions. But once you do, it's quickly obvious that they're bollocks.

A furoretta?

Not enough to keep Foxtons open, apparently!

Ahh, that's too bad. The SLP was always on sale in Sainsbury's and always available in libraries. They did some really detailed local crime reporting and local government reporting that other outlets wouldn't focus on.

KENT POLICE ...IS INVESTIGATING !!!

I much prefer Romeo Jones to >spit< Gail's, but I'm struggling to blame this on the LTN when nothing outside Romeo Jones has changed, the LTN came in 5 (!!!) years ago, and Gail's has queues out the door most days. It also is directly opposite Rocca (which serves coffee and has seating), next door to Porters (which serves coffee and has seating), a few doors along from Real Greek (which serves coffee and has seating), and diagonally across from Gail's (which serves coffee and sells baked goods and has seating). I'll be sorry to see Romeo Jones go (not least because I have a stack of stamped loyalty cards). I don't want to criticise small business owners because it's a tough old racket, but DVillage never really seemed to find its niche either as a proper deli (like La Gastronomia or The Sicilian in West Dulwich) or as a coffee shop (which is difficult when you have Megan's and Redemption right next to you, and Au Ciel around the corner).

DVillage, the deli and cafe in Dulwich Village, has permanently closed.

I've now read the Telegraph article. The journalist Kate Wills @katewills stole the closing "jazz [jizz] and [spit] roast" gag from David Peckham. If the Telegraph's geriatric readers got the joke they'd choke on their kippers. As someone who walks right past Belair House at weird hours (because I am weird), the sex parties are a lot less bothersome than other events Belair House puts on: for example, the club nights when the promoters illegally block parking on Gallery Rd in front of Belair House, when bouncers are posted on the front gates blocking access to a public park, and when the pavement and verges are strewn with flyers and booze bottles. Ms Waterhouse and Heaven Circle: you're welcome back any time. There's a bunch of antisocial fuckers plagueing Belair House - but it's not the sex parties...

I'm disgusted and outraged...at the Telegraph. I'd much rather have sex parties happening around the corner than have some of the Telegraph's oligarch owners infesting the neighbourhood. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/may/14/foreign-states-limited-to-15-stake-in-uk-newspapers-amid-telegraph-uncertainty

The lido is operated by Fusion Lifestyle. Complain to them. https://www.fusion-lifestyle.com/our-complaints-policy/

Just bumping this because it's a question that comes up every so often, and Southwark Council actually has a list of textile recycling bin locations: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/waste-and-recycling/reduce-your-waste-0/reuse

Some of them are Dulwich Estate, some of them are Southwark Council and I think a handful are the responsibility of the owner of the asjacent property. Dulwich Estate has always been very responsive in replying if you send them an email with a photo of the ones you're talking about.

It was really nice to see a lot of people there making good use of the space. 👏👏👏

I don't mind people reading the Telegraph so long as they do it in the privacy of their own home and not in public where children might see them

Southwark Council upgrades the public realm in Dulwich: this is disgusting favouritism for the rich! It's disgraceful!!! Southwark Council upgrades the public realm in Peckham: this is disgusting social cleansing! It's disgraceful!!! #SouthwarkDerangementSyndrome is real By the way, aficionados of prostitution and drugs will be happy to hear they remain a problem in the streets south of King's Cross station, just as they were when I lived there prior to gentrification. (To be clear: they weren't a problem because of my presence). I'm sure that will be a great relief to some of our friends on here that are scared knocking down a derelict building will turn Peckham into Royal Tunbridge Wells overnight.

I thought it has stairs on that direction and a ramp in the other. My memory might be failing me - I'm usually undercaffeinated when I use that entrance of that station...

Yes, they can't use the station. Same as East Dulwich (into London), West Dulwich and North Dulwich...and dozens if not hundreds of tube stations. No, it's not against the law because existing stuff was grandfathered in or got waivers. New and upgraded stations have to be accessible.

Whose priorities? Peckham Rye station is operated by Southern Railway. Southwark Council doesn’t own or operate the station, and it can't force Southern or anyone else to install lifts at the station. I'd love there to be lifts at Peckham Rye. It would be very expensive.

No mow May has been great in past years - so many daisies and other flowers instead of sterile green grass. I think Dulwich Estate has been doing it recently 👏 👏

Don't know what you mean. £1.6m for six contemporary townhouses seems pretty cheap to me. Wait, each?!?!?!

Demolition of the crappy dishevelled shopping arcade in front of Peckham Rye station is going ahead, and by end next year there will be a public square on Peckham's main shopping street. This is excellent! Hopefully it unlocks vision and funding for an upgrade to the station itself for lifts, accessibility etc. https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/demolition-of-the-shopping-arcade-blocking-peckham-rye-station-to-start-this-summer-80737/

Exactly. There's also a much easier way to find out how demand and supply are interacting for student housing: look at how goddamn expensive it is! It's a huge barrier to entry for students who want to study away from home. If the price of student housing cratered, this would be great news for everyone except property developers because it would cut housing costs for students and reduce some demand on "mainstream" housing in the wider market (because students won't be looking for houseshares). These property developers (and their financiers) aren't shovelling millions of pounds into student housing because they think the market is going to crash and they're going to lose money! And if they do, it's not really my problem...

Is what true? That the student units part of this development that hasn't yet been built is going to fall vacant because there's such a collapse in the number of students in London that they can't rent the units out, and then the Labour government is going to appropriate them to house them asylum seekers? Is that what you're asking is true?

There it is...if you dog whistle long enough, eventually someone will bark.
