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?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
