What makes this situation even worse is that woods and meadows, memorials and graves are being destroyed because of the Council's discriminatory burial policy. Is there really not one of you who can admit that Southwark's burial policy is wrong?


Discrimination is just another reason why Southwark should stop trying to make new burial plots in the Borough.

Most inner London boroughs provide burial outside the inner city, for obvious reasons. If Southwark claims to want to provide burial for all residents who need it, they should fufil their 2012 promise to explore out of borough options.


Our mission is simple, we're fighting to save the cemeteries as nature reserves with respect for the dead and woods and nature for the living - which means not digging up cemeteries or their green spaces for new burial plots.

Nailed it.


You suffer from the same problem as Theresa May; you can't deal with a difference of opinion. Faced with hard facts you copy and paste the same line every time.


Blanche, no-one here thinks it's wrong for these reasons because *speaks slowly* it's not discriminatory.

That'll be our old pal Lewis, a very curious person indeed.

I got one of those flyers today- sounds like exactly the same one...seems like people are happy for the destruction and desecration to go on.

I am not 'religious' in the 'god' definition and will not therefore demand a plot... but I have a devotion to the precious environment.

    • Yes they do, but that is not the core tenet of representative democracy. At that level, we are voting for a parliamentary representative, irregardless of whether parties exist or not. It's why candidates can stand as independents. 
    • Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?
    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors.
