The lead GP is the same GP that ran MGMP. Same practice manager too.All the patients were transferred over. Is the phlebotomy dept inside the health centre and if so, do you know the opening hours as I need to get some tests done? Thanks.

Anyone had any recent experiences with the new Tessa Jowell Health Centre? It was formerly Melbourne Grove Medical Centre.

If you do have a soak away then you are entitled to a reduction in your water bill.

Do you mean they removed bins that had been paid for?

Has anyone not had their brown bin garden waste or food waste collected?

I see it took Southwark quite a while to bring this charge in, unless they meant April 1 this year.

I guess Blackbird Bakery will have an increase in business now.

The details are in the first post.

Don?t plant Euphorbias if you have animals going in your garden, either domestic or wild as it will cause them great harm.

It?s worrying how Melbourne Grove has joined forces with the Hambledon Practice to take over the site at Dulwich hospital. The reviews in NHS Choices for MGMP are mostly dire.

Forest Hill Rd massively shrank their catchment area in the last year or so and turfed people out who had been with them for decades. The Gardens also shrank their catchment area.

If you are ever in Waterloo Road, opposite the station,try the Crust Bros pizza. They have two different specials for ?5 each from Monday to Thursday and then from Friday to a Sunday for a different one.

Same here. Some people on my road have stickered bins, but most have been removed. But is a shambles.

Keep a diary of noise etc.

It used to be that hedge and grass clippings were dumped in the green bins before the advent of the brown bins. They were collected.

The DMC Surgery In Chadwick Road services SE15 but I do not have any experience with them. Melbourne Grove does too, and they are taking over the new medical centre at Dulwich Hospital combined with the Hambledon Medical Practice. Hopefully MGMP will improve.

Does anyone know all the services that will be there? I heard there will be a pharmacy inside.

Unless you get rid of all your greenery, then what will you do next year if you don?t have a brown bin?

A total scam.

You could have the plantation shutters closed at the bottom and fully open at the top. That way you can see out and or get light coming in.
