Nero yes the businesses are trying to restrict giving out bags,that is why we ask, do you need a bag?We are looking at biodegradable bags at the moment for the traders on Lordship lane and surrounding Dulwich,East Dulwich shops.

All council tax paying households in East Dulwich,college ward and dulwich village will be entitled to 2 bags per household.

However because some parts of college ward and Dulwich village do cover a large area we can only provide so many households.

great news that the community council is able to back this campaign. just the kind of thing they were created for.


there was a piece about this in the South London Press on Friday


there's no on-line version but you can see a very similar photo of Monica and Marilyn (and me, sorry!) here

I heard Monica, Marilyn and Richard on BBC London Live this morning - well done guys!


It must be really hard to try and change some people's attitude (what about that guy interviewed who said life in London was stressful enough without having bags and this could be the straw that breaks the camel's back!??)


It could be argued (and people have) that there are bigger issues in the world, even in the recycling world*, but you have to take one step at a time and this is a great move which will get people thinking about their habits


*(I wonder if at the miracle of water into wine, people at the wedding said to Jesus, "yeah that's all very well Anglo-Saxon dude but it doesn't solve world hunger does it?")

Thank you sean.BBC radio london picked up the story from the south london press.

Its great Eastdulwich snub are given the chance to show london we can help reduce our carbon foot print.

The guy was right about enough stresses without remembering yo bring a bag,however we know the most important message is that shop keepers independant and chains should always ask " do you need a bag"

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
