Sure this has been discussed before but just got a letter through the post about redevelopment of the cemetary. I live on Underhill road and look out to the trees round the perimeter of the cemetary so am a little bit worried by what the letter describes as "some vegetation clearance" to gain access to the site? I sincerely hope they are not using the same supposed tree surgeons who butcher the trees locally


Having also read the redevelopment plan somehow they have justified the removal of old trees by saying they are too old and overgrown?? I am not sure what they expect, it is a natural, old and beautiful bit of woodland in their mind they expect a coppiced and orderly wood and seem prepared to remove trees to achieve this on the pretence of health a safety no doubt ....


Can we have reassurances from the council that the view from Underhill road will remain woodland and won't be thinned or removed by over zealous people with chainsaws.


Thanks

The same politicians without imagination in Camberwell Old Cemetery are taking down the last trees on Camberwell Green: The Orchard.

This is not a neighbourhood specific problem this is borough wide. It isn't just East Dulwich. So please do say STOP. Stop in Cemeteries and stop everywhere there's remnant open space, "wild" spaces, trees. There are so many new ideas for remembering the dead with plaques on trees and benches. Please vote in the next election for new ideas about global warming and water and solar energy. This isn't new age weird this is modern careful detail now.

Can a local historian help me trace the grave of a distant relative, listed as having died in 1858 and buried at All Souls Churchyard, Camberwell, London.


The Churchyard maybe otherwise previously known as All Souls Newington, also as Grovsner Park and also possibly sometime later, (before it's reversion to All Souls, Camberwell) as St. Michaels, Camberwell.


Thankyou

We live on Ryedale and there's a lot of digging going on at the back of our house..with stacks of bricks around too. Rumours of what's going on span the rebuilding of some stone walls (which are the council's property??), to an access road being levelled that will come out next to the Mansions on Underhill Road.


None of us have had any info from the council so if anyone knows what is definitely going on please do tell?


A couple of our neighbours have homes for sale - so questions must be being asked by potential buyers :)

The old wall that was built in 1865 and never been maintained was unsafe. A section has been taken down and rebuilt with a stronger core structure. The original bricks have been cleaned and will (I've been told) be used as the outer skin of the wall so it matches the original wall. No more trees are coming down and no access road. I've been told they will be replacing shrubs etc.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
