One Dulwich - who is funding it?

I appear to keep getting anonymous glossy leaflets through my letter box from One Dulwich. Does anyone know who is funding this? It seems to be a pro car lobby group trying to fight pro cycling road calming.


Is it masquerading as a community group but actually funded by an individual or organisation? It doesn?t say on their website. Having 800 ?members? doesn?t mean it?s not privately funded. The leaflets and website are quite slick. Is it done by a professional social media company? That would cost money.

No idea

It could well be a few residents who have stumped up a small amount of cash and some of them could have skills in design and so on.


Most of the original members were based in the village so I suspect no shortage of skills or money. Or are you concerned that they have funding via the council which would be typically ironic if it was true.

Not much info - not much at all


Twitter account exists as @realonedulwich -> @onedulwich already exists and refers to this one as "No links to local drivers group with similar name!" twitter followed by 'Dulwich and Norwood Conservatives' but that's no smoking gun.



You can ask them.

I suspect the residents who feel they have been ignored by the council are pulling out all the stops to get as much support as possible for their group (which is not pro-car they just want a more balanced approach to council decision making that impact all residents in Dulwich).


One Dulwich have been very public in their request for people with relevant skills to offer their services to them so I suspect they have been deploying those skills when people volunteer their services.


One Dulwich are now heading up towards 1,000 registered - the momentum is gathering pace, just look at the map of Dulwich where people have registered - it's pretty compelling. https://www.onedulwich.uk/supporters


By the looks of the amount of active One Dulwich de-positioning going on those who have had the exclusive ear of the council for so long are getting worried that the playing field is getting levelled.......

In balance of fairness, I had a pretty glossy one from Clean Air for Dulwich through the door, which pre-empted the OneDulwich one.

Ha - I think that One Dulwich is just funded via people who feel strongly. Look at the area the supporters predominantly live in, they aren't short of cash. The website is a squarespace one, looks glossy but not so expensive and there are lots of retired people involved who have plenty of time to dedicate. Don't think that its anything sinister or funded by a 'car lobby' etc.

Fully agree with the aims of One Dulwich. When the schools go back in September, the closure of this junction will create massive tailbacks and worse traffic conditions in lots of local areas. The original junction was upgraded at huge expense 18 months ago, and actually made it worse. The alleged improved cyclist lane is a major danger to cyclists, as they can?t access it due to the way junction laid out. Basically the only way now to travel from east to west dulwich is via the south circular. As someone who walks, cycles and drives, there are so many ways I would love to see cycling provision improved. This hair brained arbitrary decision by the council must be stopped.

It looks like the maildrop is working - over 1,000 sign-ups now - it seems like One Dulwich have really hit upon something - many of us have been telling the council for a long time that they need to listen to more people and make their consultation outputs more reflective of community feeling as a whole rather than appeasing a small minority of the Dulwich constituents and inflicting misery on others as a result.

Is that an opinion or can you show what your evidence is ?

Well spotted. Bloody cheek to insult the One Dulwich members too! Suggests he or she is worried!

That's how politics works - since 2016 anyway - people have learnt lessons on how to campaign from Brexit and Trump.


Adult arguments seem to be chucked out the window in favour of social media tinsel.


Even the question "who funds you ?" is something thrown around on both sides of Brexit.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      By Sue Klein · Posted

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
