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"

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
