Or who's done what to who

And if there is a confidentiality clause within the contract regarding the amount paid, would a FOI be able to override that?

East Dulwich is very well served for green spaces although that doesn't preclude the creation of more. Just wonder where the land would come from to create new green spaces - the priority for any available land would be for housing.

Perhaps like Malumbu they compost their food waste?

"The tables outside the Blue Brick were in fact mostly within the cafe's curtilage." All the tables were placed on the pavement, not part of the cafe's curtillage any more than the pavement outside my house is a part of my curtillage. There are no signs of demarcation like studs or different paving which is usual. I believe though many cafe's were awarded licenses by the council during the pandemic allowing tables to be placed on the pavement. "Yes, Jenijenjen [your 'real name', obvs], I have posted over a number of years. Say what you intend clearly about these previous posts, so that other readers can judge, rather than alluding to them obscurely as if they somehow invalidate the matter I raise here. Good grief." Blimey, you're reading something into this post that really isn't there and was not intended. No hidden agenda, merely an observation.

Perhaps, but in keeping with style and content of Lee's previous posts over the years Edit: prepositions changed. Makes a change from pronouns eh?

I had no reaction this time apart from a sore arm at injection point

I would disagree that the tables outside the Blue Brick bothered nobody. They were not within the cafe's curtilage (one table was even placed on the other side of the road!) but on a narrow public footpath where pedestrians have a "public right of way". Added to that, some customers rearranged the tables so the footpath was blocked completely.

I had the covid vaccination at TJ a couple of weeks ago or so and checking the card they gave me it says Spikevax which is Moderna. Edit: just seen you had your jab in the pharmacy whereas I had mine in the first floor premises arranged by ECPS. I have heard/read that all vaccinations are Moderna this time round.

Polite resistance = passive aggression. I'm not knocking it, far less stressful

There was a thread about this a year ago that included a post from the new owners. Be great to have an update - nothing seemed to be happening when I walked by last week. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/343709-kenro-press-empty-shop-forest-hill-road/#comment-1662773

I notice how some of the vociferous posters on the Forum go quiet over Christmas. A very peaceful time

There are other bin lorry operators roaming the area who collect refuse from private businesses.

I would check that you have in fact been switched over to paying on usage rather than the old fixed rate system with an annual increase. We had a meter installed 18 months ago but had to request paying on metered consumption.

Latest announcement from Royal Mail outlines their plan to seek franchisees for 108 crown post offices, East Dulwich amongst them. The plan though is subject to government funding. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/full-list-post-office-branches-110823795.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHUBCvLQyK1GoPmnCSipH5DgciEwdPBpLoiKPhgBx1NLmmE0rC-7qZwjZWuK6TkFLkOqr48IXmho7qYa7Nvu5pU0w9P3qxA-un961hitQYRLgmAdblH1S7mA_gbSJvb_TIkcqrqENDQWFkzUcl7fqI0fGVK9XC72lyyplmwCdaHS

Does Michelle, or is it Belair House, understand the meaning of the word 'sacred'? I'm guessing you'll be pleased to give full details and make a booking for anyone interested in attending

Launched today a new poster featuring Dulwich Picture Gallery in the Great Days Out series from Transport for London.

I'm in East Dulwich and heard them in the distance and also wondered what they were celebrating.

You could always hear the horses late Saturday afternoons returning from policing the Millwall games

Oh dear, OP's forum history shows 1 April to be their preferred posting date

Hmmm ...

This is interesting and I wish the service well. But the biggest problem appears mostly to be with incoming mail which gets as far as the sorting office and then appears to be only randomly delivered to final destinations in East Dulwich. Is City Mail able to help with this?

Here's a section from the 1916 OS map showing the building on the corner of Upland Road and Crystal Palace Road as a police station. I'm guessing it remained a fully operational police station until the opening of the purpose built police station in Lordship Lane And an extract from a map dated 1969

Now the site of what's known as The Dutch Estate. Here's a bit of background again from the Dulwich Society website: "The Council acquired the site from the Dulwich Estate in March 1960. The existing old houses on the site were relatively large and, by the late 1950s, were in very poor condition; as their leases were due to expire in 1964. A report at the Dulwich Estate’s Finance and General Purposes Committee on 27th February 1960 confirmed that this land (the sites of Nos. 131-173 (odd) and 90-140 (even) East Dulwich Grove and ‘Lyncote’ and ‘Ferrodene’ Green Dale) was to be leased to Camberwell Council for 200 years from 25th March 1960 together with the benefit of the leases expiring on 25th March 1964. The ground rent was to be £750 up to that date and £1600 per annum thereafter." https://www.dulwichsociety.com/the-journal/winter-2010/dulwich-estate
