Hello,

We recently moved to East Dulwich Grove and it seems as our Garden Waste is not being collected. We paid the annual fee for the garden waste collections, the new label still has not arrived, however they tend to be always late. In our previous place in ED waste was collected every week.


Is there anyone here who lives on EDG and can comment on the garden waste collections? Council says it is meant to be picked up every Tuesday, but it seems as it is not. I would ask neighbours, but cannot see any brown bins at the front of their properties.


Thanks :)

I paid the ?40.00 back in early March. Still no Sticker


Have been through to Southwark Council 4 times.

They confirmed by email they had received my payment

and I should get my Bin Sticker by 21st April.


That is tomorrow.


Don't know if it's down to Royal Mail or Southwark Council

We are on a Tues collection and our brown bin is collected weekly. Do you leave it at the entrance to the property so it can be easily collected. On EDG you might need to put it on the pavement?


Re the bin stickers - ours arrived last week, but obviously the post situation isn't great at the moment, i'd expect that there would be some leeway on the existing permits to allow for this. Foxy - assuming your bin was collected this week?

I would suggest two avenues:

1. Complain to your Councillor who will forward an email to officers and chase as necessary

2. Make a formal complaint to the council -https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/complaints-comments-and-compliments/making-a-complaint

I only use my Brown Garden Waste bin a few times a year,


My Garden is Postage Stamp sized but does need some maintenance from time to time.

It isn?t a council election this May, just mayor and assembly.

You will slowly realise that although EDG is a lovely mixed community of wonderful people, who go out of their way to be neighbourly, the local council doesn?t really care about this rd, so pavements, road surface, noise, pollution and cleanliness isn?t a priority. You should have moved onto Melbourne or Townley, Court, Derwent or Calton....all rds that are looked after by the Council. One end is Village Ward the other Goose Green..so both sets of Councillors point the blame to the other set (privately of course). I love this road and the people, I have the best neighbours. Join the EDG group...together we are stronger.

London mayor is Labour, our Council is Labour. Still no brown bin sticker today, Royal Mail just delivered the daily post.

We haven't received our sticker just yet, but I am glad that my garden waste was finally collected :)


It seems as they collect it in the afternoons on East Dulwich Grove, where all other waste very early mornings.

We must have pulled the bin back too early over the last weeks.

Have the threads on this forum about the Royal Mail delivery issues locally completely passed you by?


If all your mail is being delivered daily and none of it has been delayed, you must be about the only lucky person in this area :)

Yes, fortuntunatly we had no trouble with our post, lovely local postman.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
