XMAS SCAM
postal delivery scam Someone called this morning saying they had put a wrong postcode in an internet purchase and expected the package to arrive with us. Jane knew there was something fishy. When the package came later, it was addressed to her home address. The package was two mobile phones. The postman said there was a lot of this happening and he took them away to be sent back to the seller. Clearly the fraudster was going to get the phones and we were going to get the bills.
He has just come back and I pretended they had not been delivered. I asked him for an address and number where I could contact him to tell him when they arrived and he got three mobile phones from his pocket and gave me a number (I presume he is not getting the bill for that one either) and an address. Would the police be interested?

HALF MOON LANE CROSSING
CLOSE TO JUNCTION WITH STRADELLA ROAD
Some local person or group has stuck a proposal up
in an empty property and without any attribution to
install a crossing either outside Kindred's Bakers
or nearby. Neither proposal would pass mustard on
technical grounds. However the favoured option
would completely obliterate the short term bays outside 17-27 HML which local traders and residents fought hard to get. No reference has been made to local traders nor indeed the forum as this conflicts with the regeneration proposals for the area.
To object please contact toby.eckersley@southwark.gov.uk as the proposal will go to the Dulwich Community Council shortly

To: alex.professional@gmail.com
Date: Friday, 6 June, 2008, 10:28 AM
Hi,
The Friends of Brixton Market are holding a meeting on 18th June, at 7pm. The meeting is for everyone who wants to see Brixton Market survive the present and thrive in the future.
The current Friends of Brixton Market will be presenting their thinking so far and discuss with others the very serious challenges the market faces. We will also be looking for people who are willing to give ideas or help out in other ways.
The Friends of Brixton Market isn't formally constituted yet and this is an opportunity to get involved at the outset and have a major influence on what shape the group takes. You don't have to be from Brixton, but you should care about the survival of its diverse and affordable street market.
The meeting will be at 7pm 18th June at the Vida Walsh Centre, 2 Saltoun Road, SW2 1EP, by Windrush square.

There's more info about Friends of Brixton Market here: http://www.friendsofbrixtonmarket.org/
Please come! The market needs us! And we're making falafels! Pass the word on.
If you'd like to find out more but can't make it, please email brixtonmarket@googlemail.com.
If you can help with either printing/copying some flyers or handing them out email us. Even if you can only spare 20 minutes it would be a big help :)
Looking forward to hearing from you,

ARE YOU USING TOO MUCH ENERGY
Apologies if you've received this before. More exciting events. Please pass around your networks
Wednesday 28 May, 7pm, Room 8, Lambeth Town Hall
David Fleming*, one of the foremost forward thinkers of our time, will be giving Transition Town Brixton the first outing of his new thinking in a talk
ENERGY and ANARCHY:
he writes: "If we are going to deal with the energy/climate problem with any success at all, we will have to do it ourselves. And we will need to start by thinking in a completely different way. The market is not the solution; it is part of the problem. The neglected philosophy of anarchism has something to tell us which we need to know."
He will also cover Tradable Energy Quotas (TEQs), his excellent system for equitably achieving our carbon reduction targets, and Nuclear Power. It will be followed by Q&A and discussion. See more of David's work at www.theleaneconomyconnection.net

Midsummer Permaculture Introductory Weekend
Permaculture is the foundation of Transition thinking, working with Nature to supply our needs whilst enhancing the environment. It has been described as 'Revolution disguised as organic gardening.' It is much more than gardening, being a design philosophy applicable in all spheres of life that will help us meet the challenges of energy descent. It will be a revelation.
The course will be an introduction to the ethics, principles, observation, design techniques, and practical applications in the city. It will visit at least 2 permaculture sites in Brixton. It is led by Graham Burnett and Mark Elder, both permaculture diploma holders and experienced teachers. Visit Graham's website at www.spiralseed.co.uk
The cost is £120 for the whole weekend, 10-5pm both days. Concessions are available. Please email info@transitiontownbrixton.org with Permaculture in the subject box.
Hope to see you.

POST OFFICE CLOSURE WATCH (continued)
The Government has now announced a further 155 closures of London Post Offices, with a further 7 reprieved and 7 still being consulted on, which is very disturbing to so many communites. Dulwich and Herne Hill Offices are not mentioned and will remain open, although one in Acre Lane and one in Peckham Road sadly find themselves on the list.
We will certainly need to return to this subject at the HH Forum Public Meeting on 29 May, and continue to ensure that all our local Councillors are very much on their guard
