Veolia Southwark will be hosting free real nappy demonstrations at local library baby and toddler sessions (see listing below). The team will be on hand to answer questions about using real nappies and how to apply for the free trial pack (worth ?50).


By using just one real nappy a day, in place of a disposable one, would prevent 730 nappies from being sent for energy recovery. Using cloth nappies instead of disposables not only helps to save the environment but helps to save families money too. Parents can save approximately ?500 per baby and if nappies are used for more than one child, the cost savings add up considerably.


In the UK, 8 million disposable nappies are thrown away, every day. The plastic in disposable nappies can take up to 500 years to break down. Join other parents across Southwark and help to reduce the number of nappies that are thrown away by making the switch to reusable nappies.


Real Nappy week 23-27 April

Libraries:

Camberwell at 10.30am

John Harvard at 11.15am

Dulwich at 10.30am

Canada Water at 11.00am

Peckham at 10.45am

Hi Alik212


Apologies for the confusion. The dates were listed in week order i.e.Camberwell on Monday, John Harvard on Tuesday etc.


I hope that you were able to attend one of the events. If you missed the demonstrations, we would be happy to send you some follow up information and answer any questions you might have about real nappies.


Please send us a private message should you wish to be contacted directly.


Kind regards

    • Another great job from Leon - sorted a consumer unit and EICR for me last minute. Highly recommend 
    • Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x
    • A vet might be able to trace its owners if it's chipped. Also I believe twb who posts on here has a mobile scanner. Poor cat.
    • If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
