Getting to Charter by 37 bus


Recommended Posts

I appreciate that there is a thread in the main section about this but many mums may not be aware of this.


Children going to the Charter School on the 37 bus are going to be badly affected by the proposed changes to the East Dulwich Grove/ Townley Road junction.


These changes involve narrowing the roadway and reducing the dual lanes at the traffic lights. The Southwark officials attending the drop-in session yesterday admitted that the scheme will increase the tail-backs of traffic on EDG.


In the morning rush hour, the tail back at this junction often goes back as far as the hospital. If this goes ahead then it will certainly go back to around Melbourne Grove which frankly is unacceptable by any measure. It's bad enough already but this will make it worse.


The only official way to oppose this scheme is to use the on-line feedback form on this link:-


https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp


There is another option called "10b" which will allow the traffic to flow better than it is now. To support this option it is necessary to mention 10b in the "Comments" section, as your preference.

The Charter School does not have a defined catchment area - as confirmed on their web site.


Quite a few of the pupils use it regularly and even more when the weather's bad. Lots also come by train to North Dulwich.

I would have thought that an 11yr + child could walk from anywhere within the de facto catchment of Charter. We live well outside of that and our six year old attends Bessemer Grange (v close to Charter) - he manages to walk that every day.

I can't believe the catchment area is so big that people are incapable of walking!!! It says the furthest distance ever offered was 2000m but that could have been 10 years ago! Bet it's not that far these days.

Well they won't be coming from other side of peckham any more as furthest distance offered so far this year for charter is 1,100 metres, we live under 2000 metres away and didn't get a place seems that you practically have to live next door to get in!

I lived on East Dulwich Grove for years and was always stunned to see teenagers waiting for 15 mins for the 37 from outside Pizza Gogo or even, incredibly, from the stop by Alleyn's to go to Charter? a few hundred metres away?from the Townley Rd junction it must be 4 minutes on foot max.

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.     
    • Anyone else received a cold call from this company pretending to be calling on behalf of EE? When I asked how they’d got my data they said ‘from East Dulwich forum’. I have contacted the Admin to find out whether EDF are selling our data to marketing companies or if they’ve been hacked. Alternatively the website is being scraped somehow.    Just warning others in case anyone else receives a call- it’s a scam, do not engage with them 🙂
