Three times a week a lorry delivers to the crown and greyhound pub in Dulwich village, for up to an hour each time the engine is left running while the deliveries are made

I?ve contacted the company and told this is a normal practice because it?s refrigerated

I?ve contacted Southwark Council and they just don?t bother getting back to me

Yet for five hours a day five days a week I can?t drive the 30 seconds to my home and have to drive miles just to get home

I have to use my vehicle for work I cannot carry my tools on a pushbike

You can report it if it is visibly smoky (few are nowadays)

Please write to your MP asking them to write to the Secretary of State for the Environment asking them why there are not more controls stopping this. You can also write to the Mayor of London.


Also you may wish to join environmental groups such as Client Earth or Clean Air in London who campaign for better air quality.

Good luck

On a similar note, I have noticed that there is a coffee van in Dulwich Sports Club which spends all Sunday morning with its Diesel engine running right next to the astroturf where kids are playing.


I can?t help thinking there must be a healthier way of making coffee than pumping diesel fumes into the lungs of exercising kids?

    • Loki hasn’t been seen since Sunday. He’s all grey but if you look closely he has faint stripes on the top of his tail. No pedigree, just very much loved. About 4 years old. No collar, but chipped.  please keep an eye out for him. We live on Barry Road SE22
    • I went in here the other day. The fruit is all really good - ripe and fresh. They also sell good bread (and croissants and pastries) from a independent bakery, the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦 The prices (which are marked) are not cheap but they are fair imo. Comparable to the specialist fruit shop on Lordship Lane (Brothers?) for really good quality. It's similar prices to Simply Fresh - but Simply Fresh's fruit and veg is very poor. Beaten about and tasteless. Sainsbury's is certainly cheaper. IMVHO they're a good addition to the Dulwich Village "retail offer".
    • Went actually for the first time yesterday. Terrific food, so was well pleased. Agree with previous poster to support.
    • Hi!! Moving house soon so looking for some cardboard boxes. Anyone know of any shops or cafes that may be giving some away?
