The local RSPCA will be having a micro-chipping day for dogs on Sunday 9th August from 12 noon to 4pm.


The session will take place at the RSPCA London South East Branch shop at 380 Norwood Road, West Norwood, SE27 9AA (opposite the end of Robson Road).


Whilst this is not an East Dulwich event, the RSPCA has assured me that Dulwich and East Dulwich residents would be more than welcome.


More information on these sessions can be found on my website here: RSPCA dog chipping success

Yep - I've seen it in the South London Press - it's for dogs and cats - will be taking one of my cats along. I've already had one chipped by the RSPCA in a Bermondsey free event a couple of years ago and they were really friendly and helpful. Don't know if it makes any difference if they are chipped as she went missing a year ago and noboby would have know she was chipped. (Somebody took her in because of poster I had posted). I now put collars on mine for most of the time but don't really like doing this as one of my neighbours recently found Trixie's collar in her garden - so somehow she has been caught up in something and collar has come free (which it's supposed to do).


Will still have Honey chipped on Sunday though!

There will be another micro-chipping session for local pet owners this Sunday 11 October from 12 noon to 4pm.


At the last session, on 9th August, 96 animals were microchipped and the RSPCA received almost ?200 in donations - thank you to everyone who made a contribution. So far this year the local RSPCA has chipped over 1200 animals - a fantastic achievement.


The session will, once again, take place at the RSPCA London South East Branch shop at 380 Norwood Road, West Norwood, SE27 9AA (opposite the end of Robson Road). Pet owners from East Dulwich and the surrounding area will be very welcome.


More information on this and previous sessions can be found on my website here: New chipping session

After a fantastically successful pet chipping day in October (see above) when 124 animals were chipped and donations of ?270 were made, a new chipping session will take place this weekend.


The RSPCA shop in West Norwood will have a free microchipping day on Sunday 6th December from 12 noon until 4pm. The shop is located at 380 Norwood Road, London SE27 9AA (opposite the end of Robson Road).


The RSPCA (as at 12 October) had chipped 1781 animals this year and is hoping that over 2000 will be chipped by the end of the year.


The branch covers the whole of south-east London so users of the East Dulwich Forum are welcome to take advantage of this session. And do please consider making a donation to support this and the other excellent work carried out by the RSPCA locally.

The only downside to these events is the long queues. The last one I took my cat to at the West Norwood shop I had to come away after 10 minutes because there were so many dogs barking madly at all the cats that my cat was too traumatised. I know people will be thinking oh so what but here's a thought - why not have a separate cat chipping session and a dog one?


Just a thought?

Correct the Q is always long but the waiting time is usually less than one hour.


Although it would be good to hold a separate chipping day for cats this is not possible as the events are run by volunteers who give up their time.

Last year the London South East RSPCA Branch chipped over 2300 animals including 107 at their last microchipping day in December.


The next free microchipping day at the RSPCA shop in West Norwood will be this Sunday 7th February from 12 noon until 4pm. The shop is located at 380 Norwood Road, London SE27 9AA (opposite the end of Robson Road).


The branch covers the whole of south-east London so I would reiterate my earlier advice that users of the East Dulwich Forum are welcome to take advantage of this session. And please do consider making a donation to support this and the other excellent work carried out by the RSPCA locally.

We shall also be offering free health checks for your pet along with flea and worm products.


Donations are welcome on the day.

I took my cats to the last one and yes I had to wait, but for no more than an hour and considering it is a FREE (donation only) service - I am extremely grateful that other people donate enough to the RSPCA for them to be able to do this. Most of the dogs that turn up are very well behaved I found and it was little trouble to keep my cats away from any curious ones.

    • Two local ‘High Streets for People’ events happening today: - Southwark celebrates High Streets for People On Saturday 21 June, Southwark Council is bringing residents, families, communities and businesses together to celebrate our High Streets. On Bellenden Road, Peckham, there will be a community event from 11am to 4pm with children’s games, face-painting, live music including a samba band and DJs, food from local businesses, cycling activities and much more. The road will be temporarily shut to vehicles between Danby Street and Choumert Road from 7am to 7pm, with buses diverted during this time to make space for community and family activities. Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets and Waste, said: “What a great way to celebrate the first day of Summer! Streets for People is about putting people first — making our neighbourhoods places where communities can connect, businesses can thrive, and everyone can enjoy cleaner air and safer streets.” Partners in the event include Bellenden Road businesses, London Play, Peddle my Wheels, JoyRiders, Community Cycleworks, the London Samba Band, OurBike, Poetic Unity. North Cross Road market will also be extended on Saturday 21 June, with extra traders taking part. Vehicle access will be restricted up to Lacon Road between 8am and 5pm to accommodate this. Local communities are also organising a number of play streets and street parties to mark the start of summer. The council has approved 18 road closures in June and July, allowing communities to enjoy their streets without traffic for the day. All these activities support Southwark’s Streets for People strategy, which seeks to make streets across the borough cleaner, greener, safer and more welcoming.  Investments are being made in walking and cycling routes, improved air quality, and creating more space for community use. Find out more at www.southwark.gov.uk/highstreetsforpeople As part of its commitment to do something each year that brings residents, community groups and businesses together to take climate action, Southwark Council has also arranged a number of free events as part of London Climate Action Week. You can view the full list of events at www.southwark.gov.uk/climate-week
    • It does seem a common business strategy these days. River Island has just announced a similar restructuring: closing 33 shops and demanding that the landlords of a further 71 locations take a haircut. 
    • If anyone has any spare tickets for Crystal Palace on Sunday let me know!
    • The tenant's business has already failed. If the landlord doesn't accept it, they can have a vacant property, stand in the queue of creditors, and get paid little or nothing. It's a gamble that the restructuring will work and the tenant will start paying rent again. Commercial properties are often hard to let. 🤷
