The Spinney beside Dulwich Woods Upper is under threat. If you haven't visited Dulwich Woods Upper and live in East Dulwich it's a treat and very beautiful at this time of year - you can take a stroll through Sydenham Hill Woods and cut down College Road. Remember... Once it's gone, it's gone...


This from the flier posted in the woods:


* A planning application has been made to construct a flat-roofed building of four flats.

* This is a commercial residential development.

* It would cause the loss of this small naturally wooded area, which connects to Dulwich Woods Upper local nature reserve, and would border against the Wood. Many of the trees in the spinney would be felled, others cut back and part of the site hard-surfaced for parking spaces.

* If you object to this please do so in writing or by email before 27th July 2011 to Southwark Council. Quote application no. 11/AP/1923 and the title 'Land Adjacent to 7-14 Spinney Gardens, SE19 1LL'.

* All documents and plans for this application and details of how to object are online at http://www.southwark.gov.uk (click on 'planning' and search spinney gardens). Your help is needed to save our spinney! [email protected]



We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect. - Aldo Leopold

    • Many of you will recall my previous posts seeking recommendation of local eateries for a family meal. Having vegetarians, those who cannot take dairy products or  are gluten intolerant  we  were looking at a menu which could accommodate everyone's requirements. Having been to Love Dulwich twice in t he past for lunch, we went again and discovered that we could reserve for 10 people (would have been 12 ). I am pleased to say Love Dulwich did not disappoint - a wide choice, beautifully cooked and presented, adults and kids loved the food. We booked for 7 pm and were surprised at the number of people already dining there, with several more coming through the evening. Service was good and coped well with multiple orders. Well recommended. 
    • I swerved Megan’s.  I miss Romeo Jones and the charming friendly owner. 
    • This leaflet has the tone of a social media post emanating from Mar-a-Largo at 2am. The Lib Dems adopting the vernacular of the far right. Truly shameful.  What constitutes a RADICAL MARXIST? Is that distinct from a moderate marxist (lower case)? Cultural Marxist is used in right-wing circles as code to disparage Jews. So, exactly what is a RADICAL MARXIST, Lib Dems? Perhaps James Barber could pop like a low-rent (but equally annoying) Microsoft paperclip to explain: “Hi, looks like you’re thinking of voting for a Marxist…”
    • lol! The Greens have picked up a bunch of support into the last few months precisely because they have gone much further to the left. If you wanted a leaflet that made disaffected Labour voters aware that there was a leftist alternative to Labour in Dulwich, and to reassure mainstream Labour voters feel like the Corbynite fringe was fucking off at long last, then this is what it would look like.  Meanwhile the Lib Dems' solution to SEND and social care funding crises, a failure to build any private or social housing, climate change and all the rest is..."community wardens". 🤣 They really seem to be out of tune with the state of the country at the moment: it's crazy that they could have observed the comms failure of Starmer's incremental managerialism and thought to themselves, "you know what people want? More of that attitude, but with even less impact".
