Bic Basher

I live close to the skate park and have no issues with it at all.

A magazine due last Wednesday arrived on Monday afternoon. No post since.

306 Medical Centre covers all of SE22. Professional service from reception and the doctors despite Covid restrictions.

I've had no post at all this week after a decent period of deliveries during August.

I was surprised when the section of Melbourne Grove outside the station was suddenly closed considering the businesses that are on that section of road. There's some good reasoning to close the residential section of Melbourne Grove between East Dulwich Grove and LL, but this decision does seem short sighted.

It looks like they're all TfL operated roads, so it'll only be the bus lane section between Melford Road and Wood Vale which is managed by TfL. The rest of LL comes under Southwark.

I live nearby and it did look like it was coming from near the cricket club.

It was a tree that was set alight overnight on Dulwich Common.

I saw the flames rise above the Lordship Lane Estate. It looked as if was coming from one of the houses on Dulwich Common.

The bus stop affected is considerably narrow, so I understand why they've done it, but I would like to see it reopen or replaced to a wider part of the pavement as a temporary measure.

I know when he's here as I can hear him speeding with the milk crashing in the crates as they go over the speed humps!

I haven't queued for at least 2/3 weeks now. Seems the 1m social distancing rule has allowed them to have more people inside.

I'd say in the last month Sainsbury's stock has largely returned to normal, I no longer feel concerned about not being able to get stuff in for a week. While it was very difficult in the early days of the lockdown, full credit to Sainsbury's for what they've done to ensure we've been able to get what we need to the point that I haven't queued to get in.

Nunhead is open on weekday afternoons only for click and collect. Canada Water and Blue Anchor are also open all day for click and collect. Compare that to Westminster Libraries where they've now reopened most libraries and are offering a near-normal service with social distancing measures.

No post on Tuesday or Wednesday this week, but purchased something on Tuesday, posted Wednesday and arrived today.

Well I discovered ONE advantage to these changes. I'm able to cross Court Lane at LL without having to look out for cars.

The Plough was busy on Sunday afternoon with the beer garden full.

The benefit to those on Melbourne Grove is also going to be marginal when the traffic jam on East Dulwich Grove is backing up.

I had post every day last week and one today, but one magazine is late.

I tried a similar system to Echo and found it was terrible and that was before the Covid-19 issues. I now collect from Sadlers on LL since I can no longer collect the green prescription scripts and they've been excellent. They've come a long way from when it was a 1980s chemist relic.

The "benefits" of the scheme are for "leafy Dulwich residents" The extra traffic along Dulwich Common, which has the Lordship Lane Estate on it and East Dulwich Grove where there is also social housing isn't exactly benefiting them is it? Great if you live on Court Lane where you'll no longer have traffic avoiding the South Circular queuing up to get into Dulwich Village, but not for those who live day to day.

The only issue I have is the narrow pavement outside when the school closes is going to be rammed with pupils. It's well used with pedestrians who head into Sainsbury's via the park.

I went over a week ago. A much larger waiting room compared to Dulwich Hospital, which makes it easier to social distance. The screens that call the ticket numbers don't work, so you have to listen carefully for your ticket to be called.

4 days of deliveries so far this week. We may have reached a turning point.
