Don't you think that the street cleaners of ED do a good job? I do, I am really impressed as the cleanliness of the streets and certainly every morning I see a guy working with real attention to detail on sweeping my road. I was so impressed in fact that I emailed Southwark Council to pass on my thanks. I am even working up to saying thanks to the guy I see every morning...oddly though I'm slightly worried what his reaction might be?! :-S

Dear Chartwell,


Er well, like NO - the streets in up around the Library/Plough are always filthy (too many take-away places combined with the sleaziest pub in ED). I am sure that some of the streets in ED are well cleaned but i guess it all depends where you live. I cycle through some residential parts of Forest Hill en route to work and am amazed how many times i see the street cleaners there - but then Lewisham claim they have the "cleanest streets in London".

D'you know, like a reet sad b@$st@rd, I make it a personal mission to pick up empty drinks containers, take away boxes and general litter on the road. It takes a second, it's not really dirty, and yes, it shouldn't be there in the first place, but wow does it make a difference!


I hope people will try it (it kinda makes you feel a warm glow of social contribution afterwards, reward in itself!).


(BTW it's not because I'm geriatric with little better to do...)

Huguenot, you are a fellow eco-tramp. I very often pick up cans and placcy bottles (Coke, Polish lager, cider and Lucozade being the beverages of choice in Upper East Dulwich) and put them in either my or someone else's recycling bin. Likewise I collect those very visible red rubber bands some of our mucky mail-persons drop, and make them into rubber band balls. Does this trump enviro-grubbing as a sad endeavour? All thoughts welcome. Nero

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
