It died a death. As it was principally run by one individual, who managed to get the bus route moved to a different street, once the individual in question relaxed, nobody else took over the drive.


Maybe you should take up the reins Marcus? But then a residents association is nothing without a cause.

I don't live in Melbourne Grove. And I wasn't involved in the previous incarnation. I also don't approve of residents associations unless they are set up for a reason. And I think this forum is a much easier way of discussing local issues.

We've checked on this and think that the Residents' Association you are referring to covers Tintagel Crescent, Jarvis Road, Derwent Grove, Elsie Road and 1-46 Melbourne Grove - ie the area bounded by East Dulwich Grove, Melbourne Grove (low numbers), and Derwent Grove/Tintagel Crescent.


They relaunched around February of this year. Tessa will contact the people who were behind it at the time and bring this thread to their attention.


Tessa Jowell MP (Office)

There is, indeed, an active residents association - Vale Residents Association covering Melbourne Grove, Jarvis Road, Derwent Grove, Elsie Road and Tintagel Crescent - which canvassed every house in the neighbourhood had a very successful launch event in September at the Constitutional Club. We are addressing a number of local issues. The chair is Simon Blades of Elsie Road, vice-chair is Sandra Tait of Derwent Grove and the secretary is Trevor Gill of Melbourne Grove. For further information, please contact any of us. - Sandra Tait.

    • Last year I ordered a coffee grinder as a Christmas present, to be sent to a friend in a Greece. The order was made in mid-November. Unfortunately, the retailer sent it by UPS. There started a grindingly frustrating two months of being caught in the Möbius Loop of UPS bureaucracy and incompetence. They kept claiming that the address couldn’t be found and despite having two telephone numbers, not once did they phone the recipient. Then I changed the delivery to an estate agent’s office in the nearby main village, situated on the main street with clear address, telephone numbers  and signs. Again, they claimed not to be able to find the address, which was farcical. Yet again, they made no attempt to phone to check. Eventually, the parcel was delivered at the end of January and yes, a vital part was broken. It was clear that the parcel was lying around in a depot and was chucked in a corner to be covered with other boxes and packets. When I tried to claim the cost of replacing the broken part, they indulged in the sort of passive aggressive stalling that corporate behemoths like them are so good at. Eventually I gave up and took the spare part with me when visiting. I have to say that they are the worst company I’ve ever dealt with, along with Scottish Power. I wouldn’t trust them to deliver anything and make sure I tell anyone who wants to listen that they should avoid them like the plague!
    • what? banging a saucepan not enough for these ungrateful so called "doctors"???
    • Niko is responsive, professional, efficient and super friendly. He fit me in late in the day for an important job . We had a leaking pipe under the sink which was going into the downstairs flat. He didn’t just fix the leak but checked the boiler, pulled out the washing machine and checked all the pipes, he really went the extra mile. Cannot recommend him enough.
    • Perhaps some of you are unaware of the damage that the coalition did to our economy through their unnecessary programme that f'cked public services and led to a massive drop in real term pay across the public sector. Or maybe your teachers, doctors, nurses do not deserve a decent wage.  Quite shocking if you are into this American way of thinking.
