Hy all just to let you know we have been given funding for the cloth bags for Dulwich.East Dulwich Village and college ward will be entitled to a free dulwich cloth bag.

Thanks for all your support and hopefully we will have a snippet of the bag at the Wintergreen fair

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.

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"

    • The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.
    • I did see a few Victoria bound 185's on East Dulwich road around 5pm this evening. Coming from the Rye end and heading toward Goose green
