I can't help thinking that with the way housing stock is set out in most of ED, that being at the doorstep, less than 2 metres apart on many streets is perhaps not so smart...


Maybe tweeting support would be a much better idea.

I did my clapping from my upstairs window away from everyone.

Hey, just to reassure you, ?doorstep? in this context was generally interpreted as ?outside house? rather than having to have your feet firmly planted on your doormat with no common sense or adherence to social distancing.. On our street and I imagine most other streets, we were able to share and enjoy showing our humongous appreciation and respect for the NHS workers on the coal face while still not ignoring the 2 metre guidance by simply standing outside our houses while maintaining the appropriate distance from our neighbours. Hope this Helps x

Personally, I'm incredibly appreciative of the NHS & it's workers, but there's no way I'd risk my or my wife's health by doing this it's ridiculously counter productive. Thankfully it's not happening on our street. I've signed up as a telephone volunteer, something that won't contribute to the spread of the virus & supports the NHS which the government continues to undermine & underfund.

All it required was a bit of common sense re the rules on distancing. Many in our street did it from an upstairs window. Those without common sense are probably better off remaining inside though.

Top part of Barry Road (near Etherow) last night - loud clapping and cheering for around 5 minutes, even the bus driver terminating outside church got out of his cab and stood on the road side clapping. People were either in their front gardens or standing on their doorstep. No problems with social distancing. Good atmosphere.

      Latest One Dulwich update

      By vladi · Posted

      @Earl, Be assured, it is purely a local group. In fact it is a genteel group of Dulwich area residents, mostly ladies , who are a little  reluctant to publish their individual names as they do not wish to be targets for hostility from internet trolls. Local residents who attended the anti-LTN gatherings in Dulwich would have easily recognised the active members of the group. Should you have any queries about funding, it is quite easy to send them an email.

      Wanted: Old Wheelbarrows

      Hi  I have a spare old wheelbarrow that you could have for free. You’d need to come and collect it from Telegraph Hill, so drop me a message if you’re still looking and we can arrange a time best wishes carrie

      This is quite a serious allegation. What evidence is there of this? Pressured how and by whom? This is quite a spin on ‘it’s been agreed with the emergency services’. They think the vehicles pictured driving through with partially covered plates are the result of ‘poor signage’ 🤔  If it is as they say ‘small numbers’ driving through the square, that doesn’t suggest that the signage is unclear. I mean who honestly believes it’s possible to drive through there without noticing the signs / planters (assuming you’re driving with due care and attention)?! 🤨  Also, haven’t ‘One’ opposed any improvements to the layout / landscaping and signage proposed by Southwark? It’s all a bit desperate. At the height of the LTN ‘controversy’ a number of co-ordinated ‘One’ groups popped up across London. It doesn’t feel like a local grassroots movement, but has all the hallmarks of astroturfing. The lack of transparency about it’s funding / sponsorship and structure does not help with this impression.

      Hi there, My children and I are adopting 4 ex-battery hens and seeking a secondhand home for them, let me know if you have anything, of any style that might fit four feathered ladies in. I can collect at your convenience this weekend or during the week.    Warmest, Hannah
