Apparently there were several thefts from front gardens in Oglander Road earlier this year, plants were dug up from the ground.

There aren?t any professional qualifications required to be a dog walker. So many people have jumped on that bandwagon.

Yes, I do this too.

Go to the Novibac Lepto4 Our Experiences FB page and have a read. No Lepto vax is safe or necessary in this country.

With Goose Green you need to make sure your dog cannot fit between the railings and make an escape. It's a very share space with lots of other users too, especially on nice weather days, and people have picnics on the grass so it isn't always a great idea to have a puppy/untrained/food crazy dog running loose there. Please do not ever use one of those long extendable leads. They are dangerous for everyone, including the dog. You cannot control your dog properly with one of those. They can cause a lot of damage to skin if they get wrapped around legs or bodies. I wish they would be banned.

What a good idea to have a curfew mode. All cats should be kept in at night for their safety.

On Crystal Palace Road, when driving from East Dulwich Road, very near the junction of Northcross Road, there is a large wide skip without any lights on it. It's an accident waiting to happen. I have had several near misses with this. I believe it should have lights on it. It literally looms up as you are approaching.

Does anyone have a link to the DKH CPZ?

I read that dogs are now banned from all Weatherspoon pubs.

With another Marks and Spencer here, the delivery trucks will cause more problems. Two stores so close to each other seems bonkers.

What is the new charge?

As far as I am aware construction work is not allowed after approx. 1 pm on a Saturday and for the rest of the weekend.

No Flies seems to have the best consistent reviews. Do a search on the forum. ------------------------------------------------------- > Hi > > We're looking to sell our 4 bed 2 bath terraced > house near east dulwich and denmark hill stations, > does anyone have any advice on which estate agent > to go with?

What road are you on?

Call Ainsworth in New Cavendish Street on Monday, and speak to one of their homeopaths. In the meantime, get some cranberry capsules from Holland and Barrett, or another health food store.

Annoyingly, too many owners ignore their dogs when out 'walking' them which leaves their poo scattered hither and yon. Far too busy chatting on their phones or to their walking companions.

Where is the owner if someone else is trying to catch the dog? They are only supposed to be off lead round the perimeter track.

If a sighthound, or any dog, has a high prey drive then it should be muzzled. I know that sighthounds have previously killed squirrels in Dulwich Park. It might not be aggressive to humans, but that isn't the point here. I also know of two greyhounds who have killed a small dog and a cat. This dog clearly isn't under control if someone else was trying to catch it for two hours. Where was the owner?

A dog is supposed to be under control and it doesn't sound as if this one is. If the dog is killing squirrels then I would be worried about small dogs and cats in the same vicinity. Podencos and galgos are used for hunting, but many are rehomed through various Spanish charities after they are abandoned by their hunters. https://galgosdelsol.org https://hopeforpodencos.com https://sospodencorescue.com

How far out of the new boundary area are those of you who have been told you have to find a new GP?
