There's a parking space right at the end of Spurling Rd that, as far as I know, has never seen a car parked in it. Instead, it has become an extremely unpleasant and dangerous dumping ground for all sorts of items - old sofas, boxes, broken glass, old sanitaryware and builder materials. It's a total eyesore and shouldn't be permitted. The council have twice refused to clear it on the grounds it's private land but its an offence to the entire neighbourhood and simply must be sorted out.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to force the council to act?

There is a much better dumping ground by Camberwell Old Cemetery, more space, not well overlooked. I dump all my builders waste, mattresses and tyres there. I'm very grateful to the residents of Southwark for providing, particularly as I am just over the way in Lewisham and don't have to travel far, nor does my Council Tax pay for it.

What sort of sorcery is this, a stranger amongst our midst, posting on our sacred forum after crossing the village boundaries , dumping his rubbish on our streets and in our minds , defiling our youth with radical ideas


Burn the witch

Might there be plans afoot to develop this sight, turning 'unsightly wasteland' into flats?

I lived in Spurling Road in the 1950s and 1960s. Council earmarked it for 'slum clearance' twice in that time as flat roof was letting in water, there was one outside wc for 2 families, no hot water system ,no bathroom and not wired for power. We went to Dulwich Baths every week for a bath. Heating in lounge only via coal fire. Winter months we sat in blankets and hot water bottles. For some reason we could use an very old and small black and white TV but not an electric fire. It was not uncommon to have rubbish dumped in the street- was also the terminus for the 184 bus.

    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
    • To be fair, anything which waylays someone on their way to Palma Nova or Lloret de Mar from spending even more pre-flight time in Spoon's surely has some merit? I think losing a few quid on a litre of Bacardi and 200 Benson & Hedges Gold seems a reasonable price for society to pay. ,
