Admin please explain as this is coming up in recent posts.

I have to give away -Princess Mary's Gift Book and Princess Marie-Joses Children's Book. Both fully intact and not torn inside but quite dirty outer covers. Are being sold for next to nothing on EBay. The different language/expressions from those days is quite interesting. Please PM me if you want to collect from Tooting Graveney.....

Stop these posters appearing on our high streets. Spotted this outside St Anselms church and near to primary schools.. Totally unacceptable... Fine the people who put them up!

With reference to household insurance -has anyone else been told that Tooting Graveney is at high risk of flooding and that is another reason I cannot get contents insurance this year? -i see from a 'flood map' that the area immediately adjacent to the Graveney river is risky but not other areas... https://www.getthedata.com/flood-map/tooting-graveney

I am thinking about planning a charity plant sale (like a charity bake sale, but plants!) in the South Tooting/Furzedown area. I am fairly new to the area, so I am seeking recommendations for a good location (like a town hall) or event I could tag on to! Any advice is most welcome! Thank you.

Looking for a caring person who could provide overnight respite care on an ad-hoc basis

Wondering if anyone can help. I’m lost. Had an external hard drive backing up without issue with time machine on my Mac. Downloaded Samsung Switch. Now have an error message saying my hard drive is read only. I’ve deleted Samsung switch. Disconnected and reconnected the hard drive and tried first aid in utilities without success. Time Machine now obviously not working. Any advice gratefully received. Thank you.

If you love nature like I do, getting a call from a friend saying there are waxwings in Balham is pretty amazing - so much so, I dropped my soup, grabbed my camera and went out in the pouring rain and it really was a dream come true to see them.
I've decided to try something different and have created a valentine card (though it could be used for any other time as well) of Balham waxwings. Here's the link if anyone is interested. Thank you.

Sharing this info. in case you have a problem with owners leaving their dog's waste on the street whether bagged or not -
"Dog control
Public Spaces Protection Orders
The council's Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs), previously called Dog Control Orders (DCOs), ensure that all open spaces and the borough's highways and pavements are regulated properly using a single piece of legislation. Bye-laws relating to council housing estates remain unchanged.

Dogs on the public highway and associated pavements:

Owners are required to pick up after their dogs whenever or wherever they foul.
Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times.
A maximum of four dogs may be walked by any individual.
The following aspects of dog control are covered by the orders:

Fouling of land by dogs - an offence is committed when the person in charge of a dog fails to remove faeces deposited by the dog. This will apply borough-wide." .....................

and here is email address of where to report dog fouling by an owner who has no care for other humans - dogcontrol@wandsworth.gov.uk

He’s home!!
After 3 days missing and just discovering him on a building site, being able to hear him but too short to see over the hoarding, running home for a ladder, reaching over a wall and lifting him out, he is home safe and sound!! A massive thank you to everyone who has messaged, called and sent positive vibes, prayers and love!
His brother seems rather pleased to have him home too!

UPDATE: Rusty is home safe and sound!

Please can you help me find Rusty and get him safely home? We live at Amen Corner and he is likely to be somewhere around the Stella, Byton, Otterburn Roads area of tooting graveney. I know he goes into the back gardens of houses (even numbers) of Stella road which also then back onto the gardens in Byton. I have never seen him further afield, although of course this is possible. His brother George is really missing him and I desperately want to find him and bring him home. Please can any of my neighbours in this area and particularly in these roads keep a look out for him and check any sheds, outhouses etc to check he’s not sneaked in. He is quite shy with strangers and can startle easily so may be reluctant to come out of hiding if he’s been scared. I will be leafleting my neighbourhood tomorrow and notifying all the relevant websites, vets etc too. He is microchipped. Thank you all in advance for any help in finding Rusty.

Can anyone recommend a tree to plant in our medium-sized garden? Preferably reaching around 5m tall that doesn't produce fruit or anything. We are overlooked and would like a bit of privacy in the garden. Cheers

Hi All. I’m hoping to find someone local who could repair one seat of a three seater Sherbourne recliner sofa. Mechanism needs an overhaul and the seat may need new foam. Any recommendations gratefully received. Thank you.

Please, if anyone knows of dog friendly pubs and cafes in Tooting, can you let me know? We have guests joining us next week and they are bringing their family dog. Thanks!

Please DM if you're interested.

Hi Neighbours ..does anyone have any spare boys jumpers 9/10 or bigger is fine ?

Hi there,

We're looking for reasonably priced carpet cleaning and removal services. If anyone can help out or knows of any recommendations? We've had to move out due to our landlord unexpectedly selling up! So funds are a little tight.

I’m looking for a tiler to do some tiling for an elder relative in Croydon area. The person would have to remove existing tiles on step outside the front of the house and put new ones up, as some of the existing tiles are cracked. Also looking for a plumber to do some odd jobs. I’d prefer to use someone based on personally recommendation. Thanks

It is indeed the busy season for chimney sweeps, but I still have some appointments available this week, and more the week after, so please text me on 07421385091 with your postcode & preferred day, or email me on sweep@tootsweep.com

It's recommeded that all open fires, stoves and gas fires are swept annualy, not just to remove soot, but to identify faults in the chimney ( builders routing cables & pipes through there is a favourite ! ) and check CO alarms etc.

Best wishes, Ian at TootSweep

We are consulting on pedestrian improvements in Tooting town centre and would like your views.

We have been working with Wandsworth Council to develop a scheme to increase walking levels in Tooting town centre and reduce pedestrian casualties, using an innovative and wide-ranging set of pedestrian safety and urban realm improvements. These would:

• Introduce continuous footways
• Introduce a 20mph speed limit through the area
• Improve existing pedestrian crossings and introduce new ones
• Introduce a community space on Totterdown Street
• Change the turning priority at some side streets, including introducing a one-way system for Moffat Road and Hereward Road

Please visit our consultation page to have your say.
