There was a lovely stall at the fair yesterday selling ED cloth bags,then i started chatting to a resident who told me that dulwich not ED and nunhead already have cloth bags,with dulwich and nunhead logos that were distribuited by their local community using southwark money.I spoke to and emailed the council today about ED cloth bags and they said they would let me know,if any of you guys have time can you email southwark through their website,recycling page and ask about ED bags and to go about getting them.Im thinking about petitioning our local community council at their next meeting,anyone want to help,let me and il give you the details,two lovely ladies who baked for the WI on sunday expressed interest,so if you want to help get this up,let me know here.

Did anyone else see the 'Loser' magazine flyer posted on the front of the 'I (heart) SE22' bags stall, and indeed flyered all the way up LL? I thought it was having a pop at the 'I'm not a plastic bag' fiasco of late. I saw one woman in SMB's with an I'm not a plastic bag' thing, and she looked bemused as to why people were laughing at her. Fashion gone mad?

There's a post about the bags HERE and asked people to come along and help make the place greener...


I take my hat off to you for the thought, but again, it seems like anyone trying to take responsibility for the environment, and doing their bit, is just ripped off for their trouble!


God, since being with Mrs Keef I'm very surprised at the things I'm becoming passionate about..... That could actually sound very wrong! :-S

Oh dear it seems like I am the only one to mention or at least acknowledge these 'Loser' flyers?.....I have no idea who put them up. I thought it a little odd is all. Oh well. Curious situations often never get explained. Mr Madworld 74 came over to me at the festival to inform me of how much they were on sale for. Just as well the loud music from the band drowned his 'dismay'...is all I can say.

I think this is a very good idea. I keep reading about that small town that has gone plastic bag free. I can see no reason why lordship lane could not do the same thing and I suspect it could be funded from the community council's cleaner greener safer fund. An application form can be found here:

No and they're not cloth. They're made out of harder stuff, sorry I don't know what it's called - like a cross between sea grass or raffia. Nor can I remember exactly what it says but it's got a pic of a green tree and the word Dulwich is in it but not I 'heart' SE22. Must be one of the bags Monica talked about in the first post.


Sorry for rubbish info, I'm too hungry to think.


Anyway pop along to RW and see for yourselves.

Thanks councillor i will do that and hopefully things may roll.The whole idea about Ed cloth bags came from here.The postcards are proving to be very popular i

see.Lots of people walking around with them On LL.I heard a couple of ladies say they were going to post them to the states.Nice 1

    • If I correctly paste this url in, you can see exactly what Tesco plc is proposing to do with the site: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/files/82A133E84D9AF5351A8B38889C17E72D/pdf/25_AP_1353-PROPOSED_ELEVATION_1-4061617.pdf
    • Helen and Steve did an incredible job transforming our garden (erecting a new fence, building decking, laying a new lawn and planting). Helen is very thoughtful and helped to prepare a detailed plan ahead of the work starting aligned to what we wanted and within our budget. The team worked quickly and efficiently and were incredibly polite and professional throughout. Everything was carried out to such a high standard and I couldn’t be happier with the result - we have got so much enjoyment from the garden since then. Highly recommend!
    • Silly question, but have you reported this elsewhere as well as on here? Eg passport office, banks (if there are bank cards), police? Because if someone is carrying around their passport (assuming it's theirs) they must be pretty devastated if they have lost it, and it's fairly unlikely they will see this post, though fingers crossed.
    • * Big, sick & tired sigh * Ok, so here is this year's small selection of Gala litter that has been left behind. I have to emphasise, it is only a small part of what is still there, collected on Tuesday from a relatively small area in the south of the ex-site. I also have to emphasise this only took about an hour of slow wandering, using only my eyes & hands - no specialist equipment, and I'm not a paid employee of a specialist waste management company. And to confirm, this is after "The site was checked at the end of GALA’s tenancy and found to be clear of event-related litter" by the Council / Parks Dept. There's 488 items there, many of which would be potentially hazardous to children, pets & wildlife. Not least the small bag in the bottom left corner, still containing a suspicious white substance. I'm hoping to pass this on to the police for testing, ensuring it is recorded for the purposes of next year's licence consideration.  Please - before anyone posts any comments defending this, denying it is festival related, insulting me, whatever - just go and have a close look yourself, particularly where the tents, stages & toilets were sited. It's obviously from the festival, and there's still loads of it there, all over our park. It is literally being trashed, year after year, despite repeated assurances from the organisers.  I'm sick of it, it's just so depressing.
