Hi there. From what you're saying it sounds as though it would be hard to tell, but if there's a chance it was a vixen and still lactating, would be worthwhile anyone living around there keeping an eye out for any foxcubs whose mother seems to be absent and who would need rescue help as a result. HP

Yes .. yes there are!! Or were - not visited them for a while.... Just off the bottom path parallel to Brenchley. Nice and muddy.

Have you tried the ones facing Brenchley Gardens? HP

Ooooh - you're pithy and/or riled? Hope you're feeling ok????

Three coppers might be overkill but off-lead dogs in the on-lead area have caused problems in the past with wildlife etc.

The park keepers used to be aware of them (assume they still are) so perhaps worth talking to them about your concerns?

This. First spotted several of them around 15 years ago and they were there before that. HP

There have been terrapins in the Japanese Garden pond for years and years. Not sure, personally, about the main pond, but sure someone else will comment. Do you mean this pond or the larger 'main' pond? HP

Hi there - yes I had! I'm sorry to hear about all that upheaval but, having been on one of your excellent walks, am extremely glad you are still doing them. I'll be taking your advice and heading out east when I can. Such a treasure the Green Chain. It sounds as though TfL and The Ramblers might be a good mix to manage/preserve it? HP

Thanks for posting Ian. HP

So sorry about your cat! Sounds as though he's been lucky to live with a very caring owner. HP

I really hope it doesn't close - I absolutely love the picturehouse in ED! Just a note for some of you, there are ways to get cheaper tickets. On Mondays they do discounted tickets and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays you can get 2 for 1 cinema tickets with Meerkat movies. You can also turn 50p of Tesco vouchers into 1.50 to use with Picturehouse - every little helps :) Also love it! Membership's good value! HP

KK - appreciate that. It was a 'generic' response - in the hope that someone/anyone might act/ have acted on the post and gone to check later and taken cat to vet. I've done this on past occasions as have others. FWIW I've PM'd Neighbourhood Vets with a link to this post incase anyone missing a cat gets in touch with them. HP

@Kidkruger - assume u mean East Dulwich Road, Goose Green? HP

christ - please tell me someone took cat to vets for chip check/ hopefully contact potential owners or knocked local doors? At least gives them some closure rather than not knowing. Would go check myself but Covid ridden. HP

And more on Elephant Park: Not Berkeley but showing how plans drift... https://www.35percent.org/posts/2022-10-03-elephant-park-the-final-squeeze/ Sadly 'affordable' usually reduced and very little is social rent.

And therin lies the rub. There's drift .. with less affordable properties often delivered than in the original plan.

And Southwark Council's response last November outlining concerns: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/news/2022/nov/southwark-council-response-to-published-plans-for-the-aylesham-centre-in-peckham

Just out of curiosity Dave Is that purely speculation or based on evidence of Berkeley Homes failing to provide the required percentage of affordable homes in other developments" As DKH Billy points out 35% of a development is better then no new homes at all. More on Berkeley here. They haven't got the best record in delivering on council affordable home targets: First is from 2018 https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/sep/03/berkeley-calls-affordable-housing-targets-unviable-as-chairman-earns-174m https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/02/poorer-children-warned-off-playing-in-shared-spaces-in-london-development

Also Hoxton Press forthcoming book on British wine making has a few London-based operations. Not sure if any are co-ops.

Thanks for posting. Southwark sent out a link to the proposed licensing agreement to Friends of Peckham Rye Park. Unfortunately the link didn't work with Southwark suggesting they'd need a couple of weeks for changes. Will this will delay the consultation end date(?) Also - fwiw from the southwark page the email link is [email protected] using subject title ‘GALA Stakeholder meeting’.

Bravo!

Might just be me: the nextdoor link opens but there is no way of commenting on the post. HP

The peace vigil mentioned above for Kalabe Legesse is being organised by St Antony & St Silas and led by the vicar as the common/park is in the parish.
