I got one of these from Southwark Council with some guidance and information on the second lockdown.


First note for me is I've got an MOT on 10th November and that is not forbidden by law but not mentioned in the newsletter as a specific purpose to leave home. Any other stuff missed ?


Deliveries to outside my block are also going ahead.

JohnL as you say the legislation allows you to leave home to go to any business that is open or to pick up anything pre-ordered. The guidance from the Council covers the minimum.


Too long or complicated and people won?t read it so it could never cover everything. As some won?t even do the minimum which could mean extra restrictions for more for longer keeping it simple seems like a good approach.


The Council website has a link to the government guidance with more detail and I think that was on what came through the door. The government guidance covers more but runs to pages. How many have found and read it but read the two pages that came through the door?

Hope your MOT is booked in I called yesterday and they advised me to book for an MOT due in January. First available date 21 December.

Where is this newsletter? I don't want to chip in without knowing exactly what it says, and I can't find anything that looks like it or mentions it in any of the Covid-19 council emails I've received, or in the Keep Southwark Safe Campaign webpage https://www.southwark.gov.uk/health-and-wellbeing/public-health/for-the-public/coronavirus/keeping-our-borough-free-from-covid-19/keep-southwark-safe-campaign, apart from the references to the government's own guideline webpages.

Apologies for the quality of the scan - I scanned it on my phone.


This is what came through our door. Having read it again it doesn?t mention being able to leave for an MOT or provide the link for government guidance but it does say ?This includes? so isn?t intended to be complete.

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.

      Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.

      Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou

      Police Incident outside Rose Fish/Parade East Dulwich Roas

      I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
