The white wall at the side of the property in question had large and ugly tagging on it the other day. I was about to report it to the council (which would then approach the owner and offer to remove it for them) but the day after I passed by and the graffiti had been painted over, so thanks to the owners for doing that.

Blimey, I hope 400K wasn't spent on painting bollards outside the shops. I have noticed the aerosol man has started up again recently. I hope the street gets tidied up a little and bins are sorted out by the time the new hairdressers gets it's grand opening.

Paving or tarmacking the whole of that stretch - from the barber's down to the new shop on the corner of Dunstan's Road - in a uniform way would be a big help and not that difficult. Of course, you'd have to stop the motorists who ride the pavement and park outside the shops (usually the betting shop and the launderette) otherwise it'd get damaged all over again. Anyone know whether driving over the pavement - which seems to the be a thin strip of paving that then gives way to the odd assortment of tarmac in front of various properties - is legal?

I think that the assorted surfaces are due to those sections belonging to the shops/buildings, rather than being part of the pavement. If that is the case then I believe you may put a car or something else on your own land, but you don't necessarily have the right of way across the pavement to get it there. Typically I think a dropped kerb would indicate right of way.

That work seems to have been going on for ages - and is being conducted at a snail's pace! The state of the pavement is always really muddy around there now as well.

P.s. Just checked council website - sounds like it's going to be a dental surgery:

      Yes they do, but that is not the core tenet of representative democracy. At that level, we are voting for a parliamentary representative, irregardless of whether parties exist or not. It's why candidates can stand as independents.

      Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?

      Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
