Hi, Have a long garden in ED looking for a gardener / landscaper or green thumbed individual to come view my garden, and considering the light / soil etc. to recommend plants / purchase plants / plant the plants.

Don't have time to attend this meeting. How about some action / recognition of the criminal gang operating on Upland / Friern road where multiple family 4 x 4s have been stolen just this week.

I have installed additional cameras. What baffles me is how easy it must be for them to sell the cars on the black market. That must be where the authorities focus their efforts. One would assume they are taken out the country on shipping containers.

I'm so sorry to hear that, our Land Rover was also taken from Upland road on new years day. Police have got no clue. It's clear as day whats happening in our area. Our car was taken in broad daylight.

Luckily we have a tracker and quickly retrieved it ourselves. The car was taken and dumped on the corner of Court Lane and Druce Road. It is a family 4x4 with keyless entry. The keys are kept in a (tested and working) RFID blocking pouch when not in use. This means the thieves likely waited to intercept the signal when the keys were used by us, and probably then able to clone it to obtain access. We usually have a stop-lock, but unfortunately left it off this night by mistake. Please remain vigilant all !

Clean flat with two bathrooms and three bedrooms. Clean and wipe kitchen and utility room. Clean showers, sinks and bathrooms. Hoover or sweep & mop floors throughout (hardwood). Someone who is good at general tidying and can develop understanding of where to move stuff. Wipe down skirting boards and clean windows now and then. This can take up to 3.5 hours and we would like this once per week. Mondays or tuesdays after 9am suits best.

Looking for someone who has experience installing door entry systems. I.e. having a phone inside the house where you can talk to the person outside, push a button to buzz them in and unlock the door. The door is a wooden outdoor gate. Already have cables wired in right up to the gate from the house. Not sure if a job for electrician or if there are people out there with recommendation.

Looking for someone to install a dryer in a difficult space where cabinets may need to be cut and/or pipes may need to be moved?

Once a week for 3 hours a 3 bed flat needs cleaning in East Dulwich, on Upland road. Hoover / mop floors , clean two bathrooms and three bedrooms. Looking for someone reliable. Please private message me.

Went in with the Mrs. and little one Saturday. Chilli cheese dog, chicken tenders, cheesy chips and Mac n' cheese. All absolutely delicious. Will be going back regularly. Awesome addition to the high street, wish you the best !

Yes I heard it last night. I am on Upland Road. I was dozing off and it made me jump up in bed.

You've got no problem with Divali fireworks I assume , or end of Eid ? I also assume you wouldn't make such a comment about those for fear of not being PC. There are people of many nationalities and cultures in British society. Americans as well. I agree 10pm is quite late, but it is summer and it gets dark very late doesn't it.

I've signed you petition, but feel it would be valuable to get more information. Do you have any statistics or information comparing London to that of other comparable large cities in the world? What is the situation in New York, Paris, Chicago Tokyo ? Do those cities have large residential areas that suffer from the levels of air and noise pollution we face in London and in particular Dulwich ?

Thanks for the feedback and posting those helpful references, I was unaware of this guidance. I strongly but respectfully disagree with your statement that dogs can unintentionally scare off nesting birds and pose a threat to wildlife. If the birds are at ground level, then the local foxes and roaming outdoor cats are much more of a threat than my little fur ball ! Perhaps there is more to the story though.

I think that's the right approach. I will keep mine off the lead unless instructed otherwise, until the signs have changed.

I think there might be signs at the very bottom of the hill, but they are all over Dulwich Park as well, and few dog owners follow the rule there. I would react to any "dog enforcement officer" with exactly those questions. It's not as if my little fluff ball has a registration number so I am a bit confused as to what these bozo's with cameras would do. Anyone who has been confronted by them please share your story !

Fair enough. She does like to chase the pidgeons.

The following comment is directed at the rule, and not yourself. While the page clears up my question regarding the rule, I think this is a huge shame. A nature reserve should be enjoyed by local families and their pets. If the dog is not on the dangerous dogs list and is a family pet, my kid should be able to play fetch with her in our local public park. Certainly not as if Dawsons hill has landscaped gardens dogs could ruin. On the dog mess point..... I'm not sure I agree with the assumption that a dog being on a lead prevents an irresponsible dog owner ( not me - always have pickup bags) to start picking up the mess. If they don't care and the dogs gotta go, then the lead won't change anything.

My partner was just walking our golden retriever up Dawsons hill, and was told by someone coming down that there are people taking photos on the hill to fine people 100? if walking their dogs off the lead. Is this an existing or new rule ? If an existing rule has anyone encountered these dog police before? I imagine them jumping out of bushes with huge camera lenses or sitting on top of the Dawsons estate snapping with sniper lenses. We have lived in the area for one year. I don't know if I have unknowingly been playing fetch "illegally" or there is a new rule, but this saddens me as one of my favorite things to do is play fetch with our dog up there. I know there are irresponsible owners and dangerous dogs out there, but it seems sad that responsible dog owners with statistically harmless breeds should lose out on a beautiful local public space financed by our extortionate council tax. Thoughts ? (p.s. I mean no offence to anyone that has had bad experiences with off the lead dogs, I have been a victim myself in years past)

Highly recommend Bohemian landscapes, run by gentlemen named Saeed. They did a cracking job landscaping my back garden on Upland road. Reliable, respectful, good rates and lots of great design suggestions.

As a resident of Upland road I would have expected a notification. Assume if it was emergency that they are not required to notify us?

Yeah I have had mine go out as well

I had the same. Ordered myself a replacement credit card after min expired. Card took a while to come then noticed a load of transactions in Peckham area (Nandos,Primark,Sports Direct, Petrol stations). Credit card refunded everything, but clearly someone in the post office had taken the card out and gone on a contactless shopping spree. Obviously you do not need to activate a new contacless card at an ATM with your card. - this I do not understand as it would solve the problem. Police were utterly useless "we have no evidence". Royal mail were fairly good and apologetic and said they would investigate, but we got no follow up or conclusion.
