Would any Newlands resident like this (Next) chair? I have a new one so it is no longer needed. It's in very good order. LMK by emailing [email protected] 😊

Hi everybody. The mega skip will be in Barringer square tomorrow from 9-12. Please make good use of it to dump your bulky waste that’s hanging about your house and gardens!

The next Mega Skip Day takes place from 9am this Saturday 15th August, in seven locations around Wandsworth, including Balham. Skips will close when they're full, or 12 noon – whichever comes first.

Mega Skip Days are an opportunity for people to dispose of bulky items for free. Large skips are placed in neighbourhoods around the borough for all local residents to use.

The skips are open to residents of the London Borough of Wandsworth only. Proof of address may be required on the day.

The skips will be in the following places:

📍 Thurleigh Road, SW12 8UG
📍 Burr Road, SW18 4SQ
📍 Eastwood Street, SW16 6PT
📍 Putney Vale estate, SW15 3EB
📍 Shuttleworth Road, SW11 3DL
📍 Barringer Square, SW17 8EE
📍 Wildcroft Road, SW15 3NG

More info, including details of what you can bring and when the skips will be open, via the Wandsworth Council website here: https://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/rubbish-and-recycling/mega-skip-days/

I’ve seen a few people around the estate walking or playing with their dog today at 30c. Sunstroke is real. Please keep your dogs indoors til the cooler hours during this heatwave.

☀️HOT PAVEMENT WARNING☀️

Yes, even on warm days, in certain conditions, pavements can become hot enough to cause pain, discomfort and even burn your dog’s paws. Although you may think your dog’s paw pads are quite tough, it’s important to remember that they are still made of skin and can be just as sensitive as the bottom of your feet.

On sunny days, pavements can often be deceptively hot and will usually be much warmer than the air outside. Dark and dense pavements easily absorb heat from the sun and are good at keeping hold of it and releasing it slowly. Natural surfaces, including grass, tend to be much cooler, as plants release water to help cool themselves down.

🔸HOW TO CHECK🔸
The best way to tell if a pavement is too hot for your dog to walk on is to place the back of your hand on the pavement for seven seconds. If it’s too painful for your hand, then it’s too painful for your dog’s paws.

If you notice that your dog is limping, looking uncomfortable or whimpering, then look at the bottom of their paws and check the temperature of the pavement with the back of your hand. If your dog’s paws look red, swollen or blistered then it’s important that you quickly take them off the hot pavement and contact your vet for advice as soon as possible.

Is this your bike? It has not been used for over 4 years. It will be removed and given away soon unless claimed.

16/02/2026

Dear residents. Line bikes are a great way for us all to get about but please ALWAYS consider the location when parking: am I blocking access? could someone disabled, with a pram or holding small children walk past without causing them problems or to walk on the road.

Here are two examples of poor parking. 😡
