    • PECKHAM PODCAST’s final edition for 2024 is with Nick Dunne, a man of Faith, a family man and former director of Bede House in Bermondsey. Nick is also a pilgrim having completed the Via Francigena, a huge undertaking. Whilst not as famous as the Camino Santiago de Compostela, it is enormously long! And turned Nick into an author too. Nick ran the settlement project Bede House for almost twenty years. Through the work of Community TV Trust I came to know Bede really well and loved it. Bede combined a youth project, a very successful unit that addressed domestic violence, and a third working with local learning-disabled adults. For this latter project, Bede was honoured in 2008 with the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. In all respects this is a heart-warming hour.

    • I understand your frustration seemster! Most schools don’t finish until 3.30pm so you would think you could drive as normal along a local street before this time but alas no. Once the school streets have been set in motion by Southwark Labour then I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do and sadly I would say to you to pay the fine. The Dulwich Village system is the same since it started and people living and driving as normal have been bombarded with the local Labour councillors’ ideas and regulations and carers and family members are affected. I’m in the process of appealing a PCN at the Morrison’s car park in Camberwell at the moment and awaiting a reply. I have proof I paid at the ticket machine so that’s the only reason I’m appealing.

    • Albrighton Community Fridge just up the hill past Sainsburys is a great place to take donations. They have regular sessions to give food to those in need. They have also recently launched a project to rehome unwanted electricals.   https://www.albrightoncommunityfridge.org/
