Really pleased at Dulwich Hamlet's promotion in spite of the recent setbacks. Up the Rabble.

Thanks James for all your hard work and input in the good , bad and indifferent changes to the area . Always found you willing to engage in conversation even if some of the topics were challenging. Wishing you all the best and hope your successor is similarly proactive, only time will tell.

Someone has fly tipped loads of pieces of wood , kitchen units etc in front of the former Angel Upholstery , on Melbourne Grove . I've reported to Southwark council. Hopefully not linked to the earlier post about fly tipping.

As a result of a major fire which started earlier along Peckham High St ( from junction of Bellenden Rd near Burger King) is closed in both directions with buses on diversion. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/peckham-fire-firefighters-tackle-large-blaze-on-high-street-in-south-east-london-a3815586.html

Will miss Londis for their courier collection service , friendly staff and 24/7 opening hours. Unsure if this is an old link but appears the French House lease also on Lordship Lane is also possibly up for renewal. http://crm.daviscofferlyons.co.uk/property_images/18033/2637_Details_French_House_Est_Dulwich.pdf

Jarvis Road will be closed on 26th February due to gas works being carried out.

Not tried it but can recommend GK Barbers on Melbourne Grove

How much for a pitch ?

It's a great film and saw it at Peckhamplex last weekend. If it's still being shown on one of their smaller screens might be worth checking availability or pre booking as was nearly sold out.

I live nearby and they only have a couple of prefabs on site. They've been in this location for over a year and initially listed their incorrect address which meant I was disturbed frequently by deliveries and potential job applicants which they only rectified once threatened with social media publicity.

Appears they possibly closed due to an excessive hike in business rates.

Here's some info I found useful when recently applying for a market stall http://www.2.southwark.gov.uk/info/200066/markets_and_street_trading/3265/application_to_run_a_private_market_in_southwark

Hi Loughborough Farm ( near Loughborough Junction) is always looking for volunteers and offers regular free gardening courses. https://www.facebook.com/Loughborough-Farm-653774824726760/

Hi If might be beneficial to also list your request in the business section.

The mini buses frequently parked at the junction of Avondale Rise and Bellenden Road are similarly annoying.

You're referring to the pilot which started last year for those under 18 or over 60. This will now be extended to all Southwark residents. > mrure26 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------ > These sessions were introduced in 2015, so they > are not new.

Apologies if there is already a thread on. Southwark's scheme offering free gym and swimming sessions to all residents at six of it's leisure centres at selected times / days commences on 29th July. Refer to Southwark council website for details and registration.

Nerija , a vibrant jazz ensemble play a free gig at Pop Brixton - 49 Brixton Station Rd, SW9 on June 10th 7pm - 12am. A great way to kickstart your weekend. See you there. http://www.popbrixton.org/#!Free-Music-Fridays-Nerija-/c1ter/io7pt27a37
