Increased HGV in Melford Rd and Wood Vale

Recommended Posts

If you live in Melford Rd or Wood Vale (Southwark side) and are angry/frustrated/upset about the increase in HGV and other commercial traffic as well as cars that speed along both of these roads while taking a short cut to the S. Circular, then join myself (Melford Rd) and TA (Wood Vale) as we tackle tfl and Southwark Council for solutions.

Send me a pm, and if there is a good response we will organise a meeting (promises by ward councillor(s) to attend.)

Waiting at the Langton Rise bus stop a few times in the last couple of weeks, I have certainly noticed a significant increase in the amount of traffic on Wood Vale heading towards Lordship Lane/London Road and had wondered what was causing the increase in traffic?

Many reasons probably.The discovery of the short cut to the South Circular;Skip lorries etc relocating premises to outer London since traditional industrial areas of Inner London diminish,the many and various vans delivering online sales, sub-contracting leading to the many extra individual vans and lorries- it's endless- but as usual we get to saturation point before people realise it's affecting their quality of life.

    • I'm basing it on 20+ years cycling in London and seeing the absolute biggest rule-breakers being my fellow cyclists. I once stopped at a zebra crossing to let a man cross and a cyclist behind me called me a putain for stopping.  I've even witnessed a grown man aggressively ringing his bell and swearing at a four year old child for not getting out of his way.... on a footpath.... in Burgess Park.  I genuinely cannot remember the last time a cyclist stopped for me at a pedestrian crossing.  They give the rest of us cyclists and bad name and turn the traffic against us.   
    • Sorry to hear and glad you and hopefully bike OK and doesn't put you off cycling. Please do inform the police even if that sounds a waste of time.  Do consider going to the Motor Insurance Bureau, the slush fund set up by insurers for untraced/uninsured motorists.

    • Hi, Did any one manage to get the license number of the the white van that knocked me off my bike.   He was making an illegal left turn from Matham Grove, a one way street into East Dulwich Grove.  I had my hand up to indicate I was there but he ran me over anyway.  As I was lying on the road under my bike I noticed people had witnessed what had occurred and wondered if anyone has the registeration plate of the vehicle.   Thanks to those who helped me. Please message me here if you have that information or any videos of the event.  I would be grateful.  Relatively unharmed, bruised leg, twisted knee, sore shoulder. However, I need my bike to be looked at to check it is in good working order and road worthy. Sam
