Love West Dulwich Lamp-post Banner Competition is now live!


Recommended Posts

Love West Dulwich have recently been awarded funds by Southwark in order to install lamppost banners in the area, rather like those that you see in Herne Hill.


As Dulwich is such a hot bed of creativity we are playing to our strengths. Love West Dulwich, in partnership with the Dulwich Festival, are running a competition and inviting entries from artists of all ages and experience who have a connection with West Dulwich to submit artwork celebrating the spirit of the area.


The winners will be judged by a panel including Helen Hayes MP and representatives from Dulwich Picture Gallery and Dulwich Outdoor Gallery. Approximately 50 two metre banners featuring the winning artworks will be installed on lamp-posts throughout West Dulwich in May 2017.


This is a brilliant opportunity for anyone with a connection to West Dulwich to get their work seen in public in various locations around the area.


The deadline for artwork submissions is Monday 30th January 2017. For further details and full competition brief please go to

When you say 'West Dulwich', what area does that encompass? Is Dulwich Village included, or is it considered a separate district? Does 'North Dulwich' exist as a distinct area outside of it being the name of a train station?

West Dulwich, East Dulwich and Dulwich Village are shown on most maps. North Dulwich isn't, and the train station seems to be between East Dulwich and Herne Hill.


Postcodes: SE21 as a postcode seems to cover the Village and West Dulwich and the only other Dulwich postcode is SE22.

Hi


One person's West Dulwich is another person's West Norwood, Gipsy Hill or Dulwich Village but we at Love west Dulwich, an alliance of local businesses and residents see it roughly as follows:


Western border: Martell Road / Rosendale Road

Northern Border: South Circular - ish

Eastern Border: Dulwich College

Southern Border: somewhere along South Croxted Road


Take a look at our map...

We are hoping that this lamppost project will help define the area and give it a bit more identity.

That Rosendale parade is Lambeth but would be considered West Duwlich. Lambeth runs down to the western side of Croxted Road so my shop, the Dulwich Trader is Lambeth but the shops opposite like Dulwich Books are all Southwark.
I've never heard of the Norwood Chamber of Commerce, I guess they may list the area as falling within their realm but they are not active in the area. If you were to ask people on the ground in Rosendale road, both businesses and residents I would be very surprised to hear anyone say Norwood. Indeed, one of the reasons we started Love West Dulwich is because we felt a bit inbetween / peripheral, Lambeth were focused on West Norwood and Southwark on East Dulwich, so we took it upon ourselves to be more proactive, create an identity, foster a sense of community and promote the area, the lamppost banner scheme is part of this initiative.

Am pleased to hear that the winning lamppost banners will be installed this week in West Dulwich in time for the summer Fayre on Saturday 20th May, the businesses on Rosendale Road and the Rosendale Pub are financing their own banners as they do not receive funding from Southwark

This is the banner I like.


I'd like to visit it and take a photograph.


Does anyone know here it was installed?


Still not found the documents on the Southwark Council web-site.


I'm also interested in the mechanism by which Lambeth businesses refunded Southwark Council.

Thank you again.


I went to West Dulwich this morning.


A little disappointed the banners are so flimsy and won't last very long.


I could not get a decent shot at the West Dulwich vermin.

Did you spot that there are also banners on the Lambeth Council side of Croxted Road itself?

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
