Glad to see Southwark Council committing to going carbon neutral by 2030 - 2decades earlier than previously planned so great news!


Shame it was lounged on here as a post given this is everyone?s futures at stake (unless ED manages to survive in a bubble). Anyway - thats my personal grump out of the way.

It is wonderful news. However, this forum is called East Dulwich Forum. This fabulous and important thread is not specific to East Dulwich, therefore is in the lounge. That's the logic that made sense to me. Well done everyone who worked for this. Now let's see the councillors using public transport.

But...East Dulwich is in Southwark. Southwark is East Dulwich?s borough. The new actions being taken will directly effect all of East Dulwich as well as benefitting the wider community. Also, there are threads all over the place about Peckham.....


I don?t agree with you.

Seconded - I don't see the same logic being applied to other trans-boundary threads e.g'Aircraft noise'; 'Parking Zone - 'Peckham West'; 'Brown bin collection - Council starting to charge?'; 'Ultra Low Emission Zone ? extension of scheme October 2021'; 'Peckham rye adventure playground' etc etc etc.

For anyone genuinely interested in learning more about the climate issues we are facing, I can highly recommend this book:


The Uninhabitable Earth: A Story of the Future Hardcover by David Wallace-Wells

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
