It was announced at last week?s Community Council meeting that there was about ?50k un-allocated for the Cleaner Greener Safer Fund. This was due to a shortage of applications. A late application is being prepared for large scale outdoor board games for open spaces around Dulwich. The games will include chess and draughts and scrabble, played on permanent walk-on ?boards? made up of 18 inch concrete squares.

It is hoped that the initiative will encourage inter-generational play and keep older minds active. Scrabble, in particular, is very popular with older residents, and it is hoped it will improve literacy in younger players.

In support of the grant application the applicants will be inviting sponsorship for the playing pieces and help in making the bags for the scrabble tiles.

Hi Sally Eva,


For East Dulwich ward we have ?20,000 unspent capital. BUT we've been holding this back for physical measures to help protect the new North Cross Road market where pedestrians will be more vulnerable than present if the security assessment advises these are needed.


We have ?12,000 of Neighbourhood Funding revenue spending to allocate. This has come from an extra third of a street cleaner not being provided by the council as decided upon for last year. We've been faithfully promised we will get this financial year 17/18 and that they'll use the street cleaning machine East Dulwich ward councillors bought using CGS capital funding several years ago. Any one wants the depressing dull whole story ping me an email.

" physical measures to help protect the new North Cross Road market where pedestrians will be more vulnerable than present if the security assessment advises these are needed."


is this an April fool as well ?


I can't understand it .Which may of course just mean that I'm stupid .James can you explain ?

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
