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."

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

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
