Hi, if you are a business in SE5, SE22, SE21 or SE15 and would classify yourself as in East Dulwich, Dulwich Village area and are primarily bricks and mortar (although online is still welcome) please join a brand new private group for local business.


The aim of our group is to unite the businesses of the area to create one voice and a large representative body when dealing with Southwark Council on policy that directly impacts businesses.


Recent areas of concern include road closures that impact accessibility, deliveries, parking, loading bays, create congestion and send customers out of Southwark.


Also the CPZ in East Dulwich impacting customer parking in Lordship Lane, now active in Melbourne Grove and Grove Vale

Other areas of interest may include investment in high street appeal, events to promote business, high profile campaigns to support local business.


The group will be a place to gather concerns and support, ideas and momentum towards making sure business can flourish in the area and an opportunity to explore ways business can give back more to the community. We already employ thousands of local people but how can we work with local schools and colleges more, we have a wealth of creativity and business nous amongst us we can share.


On large concerns such as road closures we can use this group to ensure local business are stakeholders in all future decision making of this type.


No matter your opinion on current challenges, you are welcome, the group will be about addressing future challenges, gathering support and looking for positive movements forward for us all.

    • A quick update - my InPost parcels are being accepted sporadically at Barry's, but only one at a time and every few days, after many refusals - one was refused SEVEN times over about ten days - and several phone calls. As a comparison, I had a message from Yodel that a parcel that was going to Barry's is being delivered to another nearby store, which is interesting...
    • The "Community Benefits" are documented on P12-16 of the Consultation Document. Basically unsubstantiated estimates that it benefits local businesses, claims that it provides "opportunities" for local food traders, businesses & people (the term "opportunities" being meaningless - I have opportunities to win the lottery) without any details, facts or figures, and discounted tickets for local residents (which unsurprisingly seldom sell out). The only direct financial benefit to the Park is a £1000 "Biodiversity Fund" and an undisclosed amount for an "Environmental Impact Fee" - looking at how it was spent this year (flower beds in the playground & Sexby garden) I suspect it would be a similarly small figure. The actual site hire fee - claimed as "commercially sensitive" and therefore undisclosed - is spent on: • Funding the council’s free events programme and Cultural Celebrations Fund • Subsidised fees for community events in the borough • Off-setting the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of the free community events programme  Again, no details given, just vague concepts - can anyone name any of these free & subsidised community events? Or what the "Cultural Celebrations Fund" is or does? It doesn't really sound like any of it is worth  the disturbance, restrictions, noise, litter, environmental damage and negative impact on wildlife in our Park.  
    • The organisers must have spent a fortune on the display..imagine how p**s*d off they must have been!!!! Blink and you missed it kind of thing
    • We also recommend Aaron.  Very reliable, reasonably priced and did a fantastic job on our hallway and bedroom ceiling.  A pleasure to work with and left the house very tidy at the end of the job.  Thank you
