The state of this country at present, we need something to cheer us up.


To call it "this type of hippy nonsense" says more about you and your prejudices than about the painted bollards :)

Not sure this is at all official painting, seems more ad hoc and impromptu.I live on FHR and I like them! There was a plan from Southwark council last year, which we all had through our doors, saying they would paint them black again. ( This was part of larger "traffic calming" measures. ( taking away parking spaces, really.) I know several neighbours wrote back to council to say they liked the colourful bollards. So we DID vote for this!

I already do. And scarves and mittens. Rats feel the cold just like us, you know :)

I live near to FHR and have seen the bollards in their latest colours and when they were a lot less "accomplished"; they're better now. What cheeses me off about that stretch, though, is the higgledy-piggledy pavement. Can't the council pay for it all to be finished in a uniform way? And is there any way that that blue and yellow shop near the barber's could be spruced up a bit?

No.. Graffiti , litter , vandalism are just my pet hates.


I do not want to live in a slum.


Perhaps I just need to drink more to make sense of it.


Might of thought it was. 'Far Out Man' in '68


Oh wow man, look at the Bollards .... Doing my 'ead in man.


Just seen Ginger Baker in the Sky... :)

I said it starts with painting a few bollards and ends up like the photo I posted..


If you allow even ?Talented Artists? to scrawl on the wall then you open the door to anyone.

Needs to be nipped in the bud before it gets out of control. Bit late for that I feel.


I do not think the folk in Dulwich Village would put up with it.

Well thank God this isn't Dulwich Village, which looks remarkably similar, come to think of it, to the film the Stepford Wives....

The environment is created by the people that live in it.


It can be ruined by just a few anti-social beings..


Then it is a slippery slope to becoming a Slum.


Rubbish, Graffiti, Dog Poo. East Dulwich has it all.


I moved to E.D. in 1980. It was a LOT nicer and a LOT cleaner back then.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
