I have lived at Abbotswood Road from its creation, and have enjoyed living here but for one fact. Dulwich Hamlet Football Ground. When they have their games on a Saturday afternoon the traffic is understandably bad but then I knew that when I moved here and with the expansion of Sainsbury's the situation got worse. However recently I have had to put up with the verbal abuse aimed at me when I have asked the louts that play on a Tuesdays and Thursdays evening not to park in my private car parking space. This has been getting worse due to the advent of a yellow line down the beginning of the Road.

Have Dulwich Hamlet any control of those that play for their club?? Then on their forum they ask for public support!!, but complaints made against the club and its members are ignored. If the latest news is to be believed the club will soon be sold and my problems may soon be over. Hip-Hip-Hooray>:D<

Careful for what you wish for, Jean. There could be worse things than the football club there.


It's actually, as far as I know, the five-a-side at astroturf area that causes the issue. Since Sainsburys started enforcing their parking, DHFC gating theirs and the posts going up stopping you from going down the lane to the area itself, plus the yellow lines (of which were absolutely needed) all the parking has been squeezed into Abbotswood Road.


Taking the lane posts down seems the obvious answer, but I have no idea who is responsible for those.


Do they really park in your off-street parking bay? That is a bit cheeky.

Hi Jean


I am a resident of Abbotswood Road and have full sympathy for you.


The guys who play on Tuesday and Thursday ...play games on the artificial pitch next to Dulwich Hamlet football ground.


Is your private parking place...off road? If so they should not park in it at all. I get sometimes annoyed when they are in sitting in their cars chatting to their mates blocking off their mates.


I would recommend making a complaint to Southwark Council Parking Enforcement...they do make occasional visits to our road...so feel free to stop them and comment. I would recommed taking a photo of the offending vehicle in your space.


The club should NOT be asking for public support to park in a public place that is quite outrageous...I would speak to Jack Payne (chairman of Dulwich Hamlet) about this , if its evident.


Hope that all helps!

I have sympathy too Jean. But I wouldn't like to see the posts removed from the road up to the football fields. I live on Burrow Road and our house is right behind that road, and when it was open we suffered terribly with people driving up there, revving their engines loudly, playing loud music while parked etc - really not ideal when trying to get small children to sleep. I hope a solution can be found, but I ask you to please not to suggest removing the posts on the road

Thanks

      Cat Flap

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.

      Looking for good wifi suggestions please!

      With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.

      Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..
