James, have you had any update on dates for this as it hasn't been closed so far.


I noticed work starting at the Jarvis Road entrance to Dulwich Hospital today, which I presume is Thames water given they'd left traffic cones there with signs restricting parking at the gate.


Thanks

Wasn't working too well yesterday when someone had misjudged the gap and scraped all the side panels of their car down the side of a flatbed truck. Derwent Grove really doesn't work as a diversion as you can't generally pass 2 cars along it. Lots of gridlock and people getting out of their cars and swearing at each other after sitting and beeping horns.


James - Is there any chance that future diversions could be along main roads rather than sending traffic down a street that is totally inappropriate to accept it? - ie the diversion could have been along East Dulwich Grove, left to the roundabout and then along Grove Vale. I accept this is further, but it is all main roads where 2 cars can pass. A substantial amount of local traffic would use Derwent and Melbourne in any event, but it would reduce the overall amount.

Today the diversion seems to have been (partially- ie not all the signs have been moved) moved to Elsie Road. Cant help thinking that diverting onto a side street near an infant / junior school isn't particularly appropriate either. Official diversion via main roads would seem most appropriate -wouldn't stop the use of these side streets but also wouldn't force such a volume of traffic along them that they get blocked up

    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
