nice forum Mr Collins by the way......


Does anyone know the reason that the street lights in Peckham are brighter and nicer looking than those in East Dulwich and Camberwell? Is it crime related? or perhaps a wonderful initiative from the SE15 neighbourhood watch brigade....


love to all

Kind words Gaz, thanks.


We noticed the new lights (that haven't been turned on yet) on Adys Road last night on the way back from the Gowlett, they're the silver Triffid like ones aren't they? In geek speak they use silver halide gas so therefore give off the white light rather than the old sodium ones that cast a yellow glow. And yes it's part of the 10 year Bellenden renewal project.


It would be nice for East Dulwich to have it's own unique, designed street lights with white light (not yellow) that don't shine up into the sky and cause unnecessary light pollution.

The following East Dulwich and Dulwich Village streets are having a complete street lighting replacement meeting all the latest standards:

Chesterfield, Ashbourne Grove, Tell Grove, Glengarry Road, Tarbert Road, Trossachs Road, Thorncombe Road, Lycott Grove, Playfield Crescent and Colwell Road.

This is part of Southwark wide programme to ensure all street lighting meets modern standards.

Hi Warren,

I'm one of the East Dulwich councillors. I'm afraid East Dulwich keeps me busy enough without trying to keep tabs of issues in College Ward. I'm just back from holiday and have a zillion things to catch up regarding East Dulwich. So no I can't confirm or deny that your road will get new street lighting this financial year. If in a fortnights time you still have concerns let me know ([email protected]).

Off topic, but relevant to this conversation's history.


Some friendly advice to anyone who edits their messages after posting them...


If, like me, you subscribe to the RSS feed [wikipedia definition of RSS here] for the East Dulwich Forum, you'll see each version your newsreader (bloglines in my case) grabs - which means you can see what's changed in edited messages.


I think this is quite right and isn't technically wrong, because for a brief moment it's a message in public.


Worth remembering... :-)

    • Yes, still odd. Their information seems mostly to have come from the social media post referred to above. And, as you say , reported "cautiously".
    • I have taken books to the Oxfam book shop in Herne Hill in the past and found they had a limit on how many bags they would accept from one person, so worth checking in advance if they have any current restrictions, don't want to lug a heavy bag out of the car and be told they won't accept. I was able to park nearby - in the side street on the other side of the road, but I do know it's luck of the draw how far down that street you have to go to get a space.
    • I would phone ahead to check whether they are accepting donations. I’ve been in the shop a couple of times over the past few years and seen people turned away with book donations. There are a few parking spaces outside the row of shops there and it’s sometimes pot luck but I’ve usually parked ok. Let us know how it goes Sue.   l
    • Hussein and his team have just finished painting our main reception room, kitchen and hallway throughout the house. We also threw a few extra curve balls in while we were away like painting the front door, garden walls and helping fit some new lights. Hussein is a pleasure to deal with: professional, diligent, trust worthy, flexible and a really nice bloke. This is the second time we have worked with him and will definitely do so again.
