If you live in Dulwich Village, you may be aware that a planning application has been submitted by The Dulwich Estate and the SG Smith Motor Group to Southwark Council for the redevelopment of the workshop site bounded by Gilkes Place, Gilkes Crescent and Calton Avenue. The application is for twelve houses with underground parking. 

Full details can be found on Southwark Council’s planning website under reference 14/AP/3104 at http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/485/planning_applications/554/search_the_planning_applications_register

We urgently need firm plans for a new secondary school in the Dulwich area.  Existing schools are heavily oversubscribed and local children are increasingly having to travel further afield to get to school.  The Council’s figures show that there will be an under-supply of places from 2016, which will increase sharply by 2018.

Over the coming months I will be highlighting the issues that matter to our communities in Dulwich and West Norwood some of the ways we can work together for change. Keep visiting this page for updates!
