On Thursday 5th May we once again went to the polls to vote for the administration of our local council.

Did you vote for the previous administration???

Did you change the way you voted?

Are you happy with the outcome in Southwark?

I sometimes vote Lib dem but not very often, Trinidad.


I would have probably voted Labour but the CPZ debacle followed by the LTNs and their obstinate refusals to listen to actual people who live here made it impossible. I also don't believe the current lot do anything for us at all and I remember how hard James Barber worked in comparison.

Waseley, Labour haven?t had a National record since 2009.


They have had a local record here in East Dulwich though and it is not good. Not good at all.


I can see why you would want to try to distract people from that but local Labour councillors will have to answer for it ultimately.

One thing I am aware of is that This neighborhood has better support services than others, particularly around mental health. There are walk-in hubs for children and services for adults. I don't know of many other boroughs that have this, nor whether they are also Labour wards. I'm not suggesting they are perfect, but mental health is a very pressing issue for most people are affected by it in some way.

I certainly won't be voting Conservative


Ruby Fuller was a local 19 year old, former head girl of the Charter School, who died at home obeying the lockdown rules, while Johnston and Sunak broke them, and then lied about it.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
