Hi Jane,


Thank you for your kind words! Our first issue will come out on May 6th, which coincides with the start of this year's Dulwich Festival.


Like The Peckham Peculiar, we will be stocked by local shops, pubs, bars and cafes - we hope to have around 100 stockists (if not more!).


We'll make sure that we'll have an updated list of our stockists online (at http://dulwichdiverter.tumblr.com) - this information will be available from the weekend we come out.


Finally, a quick update on our crowdfunding...


So far, we've raised ?6,658 thanks to 98 generous backers! ?1,285 has come via the East Dulwich Forum so a huge thanks to all who've backed us! If you're interested in seeing what our plans for the newspaper are, please go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/peckhampeculiar/the-dulwich-diverter-a-free-local-community-newspa/


Many thanks,


Mark and Kate and all at The Dulwich Diverter

Hi all,


A quick update on The Dulwich Diverter...


We now have 117 backers (and almost ?1.3k of funding has come via the East Dulwich Forum) so a huge thanks to all who've backed us!


We've already reached our minimum target (and we've still got 30 days to go) so all of the additional money will be invested into increased circulation and/or helping produce future editions, and keeping the project alive throughout 2016 and beyond.

Hi everyone,


Issue one of The Dulwich Diverter officially launches on May 5th, but we've distributed a couple of hundred early copies this afternoon! You can pick them up at about 15 places across Dulwich, including Chener Books, Hop Burns & Black, The Palmerston, Roullier White and Rye Books.


Hope you enjoy reading it!


Kate, Mark and all at The Dulwich Diverter

I picked it up on Saturday and enjoyed it cover to cover, congratulations on a massive achievement.


There's room to be more provocative, creative, alternative and exploratory in the space outside the existing local free press and I hope you grow into that sort of direction.


Congratulations, good luck and keep it up please.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
