Hello Renata,

Earlier in the summer a car crashed into a tree on the corner of Stuart road and Cheltenham Road killing the tree. So far, no tree has been planted to replace it. This area is a pedestrianised triangle. Moreover, due to it being at a distance from housing (to avoid subsidence), there is ample room for more trees in this space. Currently, with the increasing awareness of climate change and the value of tree planting as part of tackling the process, I wonder when/if this could be remedied. In case you are wondering I have informed Southwark Council and the tree planting department. However, there has been no action or information.

If you want to contact Ms Hamvas (who with other current and former councilors does use this forum, but not obsessively) try contacting her directly - a general post such as this may well not be picked up by her for some time if at all (particularly if it drops down the 'pecking order'). As a councilor her contact details are readily available.
Quite right Lilaclou - Climate change is something that already affects millions of human beings and is a critical problem getting worse! Little changes like this can contribute - rather than inaction - so thank you for trying to do something! Renata can be contacted directly on http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgUserInfo.aspx?UID=905 in case you haven't tried this option already.

Hi Lilaclou, (and other posters)

Thank you for your message. As other posters have said, It tends to get to me faster if you email me rather than post on here. I agree trees are very important for our environment. Trees don't normally get planted during the summer months as they shouldn't be planted when they are in full growing mode, but rather when they are without leaves and dormant. Southwark therefore plants replacement trees in the winter.


You mention that you think more trees could be planted here. The best way to get this looked into is to put in an application to Cleaner, Greener, Safer. The scheme is open for applications now! Tree planting fits into the remit of the scheme, as do cycle hangers, environmental improvement projects,road safety etc

Please put in an application. The tree officers would look at the site and check if the additional greening of this location is feasible.They then pass their recommendations to the ward councillors with a costing, so you don't need to work out the cost for the forms.


I will report about the dead tree in case it isn't already on the planting schedule.


My contact details are attached.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
