LegalEagle-ish summed it up quite nicely: "It's Camberwell"


The ED issues/gossip section is for East Dulwich issues, not Camberwell issues (there is a Camberwell Forum here). Unfortunately we do not cater for the surrounding area issues the same as the BBC news website the TV news do. Josh has started a discussion about it, which is in the "About the Forum" section http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?12,303078 (which was moved to that section because it was about the forum and not an East Dulwich Issue).


It is a rule that was drawn up at the forum's inception and sorry if causes confusion.

I live in east dulwich and was driving home from work when i saw this terrible incident unfolding.


I initially put it in to help ED travellers (topic transport) avoid the area on the way home but also to inform everyone of a major incident in the local area.


No one was to know how serious this was going to be, so i can understand (if you hadn't seen what i had seen) why it was moved at the time.


Anyway - it's really very sad to hear that so many people had died, including young children. awful.

let's hope that "With Southwark?s major regeneration projects running massively behind schedule " and the the fact that


"The Lib Dem-Tory coalition has always acted like it doesn?t have a strategy for dealing with the borough?s chronic housing problems. Now we know that they literally don?t have one. If the Executive can?t piece together a coherent strategy for improving housing, what hope is there of them meeting their targets for decent homes, injecting a bit of customer focus into the unresponsive repairs service, or providing a fairer billing system for its leaseholders .."


Nick Staton might be in Awe of our emergency services, but lets hope the state of this buildings and lack of decent fire escapes does not get flagged up in the report. But hey ED get's a lovely new Gym regeneration and the Livesey still sits shut and empty near another large patch of social housing.


Maybe the www.peoplesrepublicofsouthwark.co.uk should start busing the kids from the estate near the Livesey into ED everyday and bring them back in the evening, then they can play in basketball and tennis courts in Dulwich park, use the 2nd new Fusion gym refit and enjoy the Hornimans museum.

    • Calling All Private Chefs – We’re Looking for You! We’re currently looking for talented private chefs in and around East Dulwich (and across London) for a number of exciting upcoming bookings and events. If you’re a chef, or know someone who is, we’d love to hear from you. Please drop your name, contact info, and a quick intro below or message directly. Thanks! Anthony Bird & Co Events
    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
