Plastic Free Dulwich is organising a community clean on 31st October @ 10.30 am


We will be tackling Homestall Road and Peckham Rye Park so we'll meet at the Colyton Road entrance to the park.


Given the Halloween date, fancy-dress is optional, but please do wear weather-appropriate clothing


Gloves, bags and litter pickers will be provided. All are welcome - so please join us if you would like to spend an hour or so of your time making a difference.

HIya - I pick up a fair bit of litter (cans and bottles mainly) along the side of Colyton Road, park side, especially nearer to the girls' school. Some of it is hidden by bushes, etc. I don't have a picker-upper so only touch the surface so maybe the hard to reach ones are for you and your volunteers!

They're a good idea, Annie5, but please adopt a DIY attitude if you are keen to help. Just picking up the odd can or bottle and putting it in a recycling bin yourself whilst on your daily walk or errands can make a big difference. I often pick up 7 or 8 items on a typical morning walk, mainly cans and plastic bottles (Lucozade and various lager brands feature most).
I think it could be just a small number who habitually litter and make a god-awful mess. I see people of all types using bins yet very few people dropping. Does it come from cars? (I have seen some people take out nappies and litter from cars and dump it in the gutter. One who did this got very sharp shrift and took it back!)

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
