Dulwich Going Greener survey

May 17, 2008 at 4:30 am · Filed under Community

Dulwich Going Greener are thinking global and acting local. They want to see what impact the way we live in Dulwich  is having on the global environment. How much does each of our households contribute to the current trend of climate change? 

They have launched a Dulwich-wide survey to find out more about local emission levels, and what attitudes people have towards climate change.  The survey can be completed online, and the hope is that it will give a snapshot of the way people live in Dulwich in 2008 – a baseline to measure changes in the years ahead.

To get a good baseline they need as many responses as possible, whether from committed ‘greens’, outright sceptics, or those in between.   Please take 10 minutes to complete the survey, and pass on details to your friends and neighbours. Go to the survey at www.dulwichgoinggreener.org  and click the link at the top of the homepage.

Labour axe Melbourne Grove Post Office

May 7, 2008 at 8:19 pm · Filed under East Dulwich

Six days after the London elections, Labour have confirmed that all eight post offices in Southwark that were under threat will get the chop – including Melbourne Grove.   You can’t help but wonder at the cynicism of the timing of this announcement.

Clearly the consultation exercise was as much a sham as our local MPs opposition to the closure (she said she wanted the post office saved locally  but voted in the Cabinet and Parliament in favour).

As local counciillors, we presented avidence about how well used these services are, how important they are for the parade of shops in Melbourne Grove and Grove Vale  and of course there was the petition which I presented on behalf of the hundreds of people who signed the petition.  

Shame on Labour for axing the service, for  the cynicism of the announcement and for the hypocrisy of their MPs.
