We've no power in our house in Darrell Road - although nearly every other neighbour seemed to be unaffected - which was more than galling! Was told it was a problem at the local substation and one of the major fuses had blown twice, which could indicate a problem with underground cabling. The lady I spoke to thought this might mean road excavation, etc.. I am on a mailing list to receive a text with news of progress. No texts received yet :(


I have therefore decamped with kids to my girlfriend's house in Upper Norwood, where I'm currently luxuriating in electricity.

Hope it's sorted soon for folks who don't have this option - our gas heating doesn't work without electricity. Madness!

Yeah we are on that text-mailing list too FB and havent had a peep yet but we've been back on for a bit now. I didnt think the rain was that heavy though. We had the same thing a year ago when we were living in Barry Rd and the guys digging a hole near Barry's Stores cut through a cable.


Maybe its an annual event, something to set your clock by......as long as it isnt digital

      Any updates? - Sidings East Dulwich on the top of Railway rise

      By beansprout · Posted

      My  understanding is that all developments whatever size, have to have an element of social housing…affordable housing… council housing..No longer sure of percentage but clearly less than years ago.. The point is house builders clearly make a profit or they simply would not  continue building what I refer to as modern  boxes!  Putting housing condensed or what originally was one house with land attached.  Huge development going on in Beckenham - 200 social housing and rest open market.. sited over several houses now demolished… up the road from the park on way into town centre.. might even be completed by now.. haven’t been that way in last year… certainly can’t miss it.. So, for example, let’s say a developer builds houses and flats on a site… social housing I assume would be in a separate block to other flats and I assume house as well. Ie to put it bluntly, away from main site.. Nothing wrong in that at all.  Many years ago, near Borough a developer built flats divided into blocks. . Price range £300/400,000. Social housing was in a different block…. Can’t remember how many… so families , couples etc got a brand new flat with modern kitchen and bathrooms, flooring etc  and could not even keep common parts clean.. trash thrown out and left including out of windows etc..total disregard for community and certainly not  grateful for brand new property and a home.. I hasten to add, not every flat in the social housing sector but certainly a fair few behaved that way.

      Dulwich Pool Discussion

      By Katherty · Posted

      When I've tried to phone Dulwich Leisure Centre reception in recent weeks,  I've been put through to an answerphone and haven't spoken to a person.   Have others found this? Are they not taking calls anymore?

      Urgent call to find Peckham cat

      Saw this on Facebook group - seems like he’s known in the area but needs to get to the vet. Hopefully one of the people feeding him can know that he needs help and that the vets are waiting for him
