Basically, it seems it is up to west dulwich to get active and present our issues to the dulwich society. I feel a little bit pissed off that it seems we're all paying to keep the village nice.

Did you know that the sports clubs and schools on dulwich common are on public land and that land belongs to the public. 5 acres of land for one nursery that should be open for public use.

One of the listed thing the dulwich society do is to ensure "pleasant walking" by ensuring decent pavements. I feel west dulwich is being used to fund other areas. This needs addressing.]]> General West Dulwich issues / gossip http://www.westdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?4,1805,5309#msg-5309 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:10:15 +0100 http://www.westdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?4,1805,5308#msg-5308 SoCrox
When trees were being felled around WD railway station a number of us tried to get the Estate interested to do something but they would not. It seems better to try and go through the Dulwich Society who try and apply pressure to the Estate but again without much success to my mind. The Estate and Society have websites which are worth checking out - the Society's one has minutes of a meeting with the Estate where a number of issues were raised and its worth reading as it gives a flavour of their approach (http://www.dulwichestate.co.uk/index.cfm; http://www.dulwichsociety.com/). It's true to say, though, that the Society's focus tends to be on the Village and not on WD so it might be worth trying to get them more interested in the local area. The Society publish a quarterly magazine - £10 annual subscription - sometimes useful for keeping up with what's going on if you can't be bothered to check their website regularly.]]> General West Dulwich issues / gossip http://www.westdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?4,1805,5308#msg-5308 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 10:36:59 +0100 http://www.westdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?4,5306,5306#msg-5306 makar
I am moving into West Dulwich in a a week (very excited) and am wondering about the Tennis courts since the information on them on the net seems sparse. Are they really totally free? Just turn up and play? What times are they open and are they ever flood-lit?

I pay council tax and expect to see the garbage gone and street lights etc, I pay the dulwich estate and I'm not sure what I get because I have to pay more to maintain my tree and area myself. Honestly the pavements round here are quite bad. They work but they are not nice. There is a rat problem and in the croxted road tesco cafe rouge area that doesn't seem to be improving. The old dairy could be used to house a decent nursery or provide more useful shops for the area. As others have said its a neglect. How about some organized questioning of the estate.

I am not as you would say the most computer literate being 63 and have only heard about this West Dulwich Forum and in particular this thread through word of mouth, and thus thought it would be a good idea to present myself onto it.
Firstly, thank you to those for all your support and to those who have criticism, this is completely normal and I take it all on board.
As regards the shop, for the majority of my life I have been serving the community. I trained as a nurse at Guy’s hospital and gained my SRN back in 1967, I’m now also qualified as a GRN and have worked as a nurse for a great deal of my life. In the past five years I have been working in palliative care for many hospitals in London and privately but normally working nights. I decided this was taking a toll on my life and thus decided to open up a City Garden shop with a focus on children, garden games and gifts, so that I could again participate in the local community in which I have lived for 28 years now.
I would love you all to come into the shop and give me your comments in person. I am, shall I say, old fashioned and much more in tune with talking to people face to face and actually getting to know the local community.
I would like to say that I believe I have a range of goods which satisfy all spectrums of West Dulwich and although some things may cater for those with bigger gardens and wallets such as croquet sets we also sell kites, children’s windmills and garden gifts at competitive prices, we also sell all your garden needs for example twine, flower pots, sprays etc.
I, of course, hope that Moe’s Potting Shed will be a success and I need the local community’s support for that: I look forward to meeting you all in the near future. As I said above, I am not particularly computer literate so forgive me but I will not be getting into any further exchanges on this thread, I will leave that all to you. I have enjoyed the posts and it seems you are all very much a lively lot with varied opinions which can only be a good thing.
Kind Regards, Maureen (Moe)]]> General West Dulwich issues / gossip http://www.westdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?4,5112,5266#msg-5266 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 21:21:30 +0100 http://www.westdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?4,1805,5265#msg-5265 dnjc
