Hi All

Hope you are well, just wanted to let you know about SNUBS new project. Marilyn and I recently applied and was awarded Cleaner greener safer money to pilot a scheme in East Dulwich. The scheme is food composting on a commercial level. We have these lovely eateries who serve yummy food, and no doubt a little gets thrown out, instead of sending it to landfill we want to use the waste food and turn it into compost for the local allotments and local schools. This is where the next project comes in, we have also received a very small amount of money for container garden beds for the local schools, Goodrich, Heber, Goosegreen and Summers house. In the next few weeks we will be approaching parents/Teachers and local tradesman to help with the construction and development of the container garden beds. Hopefully in the next few months our local children will be growing their own veg. We will need volunteers, I have approached a local tradesman,but if you have green fingers and a little free time please pm me or email me [email protected]


Thanks

ED SNUB

Hi Monica, really interested in the 'container garden beds for the local schools' project.


Let me know if there is anything I can do to help...


Would also be happy to make some sort of donation, winter veg seedlings, packets of seeds, some of my time, etc. I have plenty of experience related to working with inner city schools and kids, so hands on is also a possibility for me... keep me posted.


Sounds like a fantastic community project... well done, you're a great asset to the area...

Thanks Charlie for the compliment, can you pm me your email address, so I can gather a list of volunteers to delegate too. If there are any Teachers from the schools I have mentioned or parent goveners who would like to help please pm me. Marilyn will be speaking to the schools in the next few weeks to organise the start of the project.

Really good idea, but where is 'Summers House', I've never heard of it?

Hi Suzanne Il email you nearer the time, we are in the planning stages at the moment. Kristymac thank you for the offer, Please keep hold of the courgettes and tomato plants, we need seeds and plants, il email you nearer the time

Can you pm me your email, Suzanne I have your email.

Thanks again ladies.

Hi Monica,


Just to echo Charliecharlie, you really ARE an asset to ED. Anyway, can't give up any time but I would be pleased to supply the project with some plants and seeds. E.g. I should have some strawberry plants later on in the year. Also, provided I get a good crop of tomatoes, squashes and pumpkins THIS year, I should have a good collection of seeds for these veg for sowing NEXT year. And who knows, I might have other bits and bobs which I would be delighted to donate to such a brilliant cause. Also, I might see if I can cut and paste your posting to our Allotment Society...you never know...


I shall pm you my email address so you can give me a nudge from time to time.

Hi CharlieCharlie and the other kind people who have volunteered to help Gardens for schools we now have the Garden container beds sponsored and Constructed by local tradesmen, Mcgovern Carpentry.

We have groundwork Southwark who will be supplying the labour for the transportation and placement of the Garden beds. We are elated with how everything is developing, hopefully the gardens for schools will officially start once we have spoken to the Headteachers of the schools.

Thanks again ED, Community action rocks :)-D

Hi guys

Just an update to those who have been asking what is happening. Marilyn Donahue my Fellow Snubber is in the USA, when she returns we will be meeting with the schools to discuss the logistics for the Gardens for Schools. To those who have volunteered time/Plants/seeds I will email you nearer the planting time.

SNUB would also like to thank Dulwich DIY for sponsoring the project.

Cheers guys.:)-D

Hello again Monica,


Have today sent details of your latest project to the "Chair" of our allotment society for possible inclusion in our next Newsletter. Hopefully this will generate more goodies/time etc. for this worthy cause.


LM.

    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant. 
    • Sadly, the price we now all pay for becoming a soft apologetic society.
    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
