  1. I don't know where they will put it but I agree -- wherever they put it they will do it very well. I must ask about the sheets :)
  2. Depends where you start from. If you are in East Dulwich then Tractorlad has nailed it. If you want to go up the Canal Path then Bellenden, Highshort, across Peckham High St to Melon St and then right to the Path or left to Sumner Road which goes to the same place without babies, loving couples, shopping trolleys etc If you are on the east side try Gordon Road right to the bottom (ie past the Spike) 90 degree bend back to Consort -- personally I would be trying to avoid the narrow passage under the bridge on Copeland/Consort -- dark and intimidating. Earlier today I'm told cyclists were going up Rye Lane and then walking (under police supervision) around the works. That seems the best plan if it is still operating.
  3. I may mean Highshore Road near Lidl. I understand the police are down there now trying to control cyclists/traffic.
  4. The council is suggesting the bus route ie Copeland hanover park but this includes a dangerous pinch point under the railway bridge. There are no facilities for cyclists at, ie no special arrangements. The area to the west of Rye Lane is full of one-way streets. The barrier is the railway and next way under the railway is the Bellenden Gyratory and then Lyndhurst Way or Bellenden Road to Lidl. If you go straight across at the junction of Peckham Road by Lidl you get to Melon St which is closed to motors ie safe. If you turn right at the end of Melon you are back on the canal path. If you turn left you are on Sumner Road which takes you straight up to Burgess Park and is negotiable with care. If you want more detail then PM me or ask here
  5. Birth -- straightforward delivery -- is ?13,000. More probably privately -- that is what the NHS charges if the mother has no right to free treatment
  6. The Motor Insurance Bureau insures cars damaged by hit and run drivers. I should contact them. I would think that they will speak unkindly to Churches. Afterall the implication is that all their vans are so damaged (all the time) that they cannot tell which one has recently been in an accident If they can't be bothered to do that they will have to pay up themselves. https://www.mib.org.uk
  7. There's a new packaging-free shop in Nunhead (near Ayres and Sopers) which does washing up liquid (as well as lots of other things) https://www.southeast15.com/peckham-and-nunhead-shops/byo-plastic-free-shop-nunhead
  8. I should contact your councillor
  9. If your aim is to get rid of it, you can report it as abandoned once it has one flat. No need to screwdriver all four
  10. East Dulwich station is in Zone 2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Dulwich_railway_station
  11. the 37 goes from East dulwich to Brixton. Re cycling: there are very safe routes -- probably take 40 mins -- they don't involve bus lanes.
  12. I don't think (from experience) that they will treat it as abandoned if it is taxed and insured. Free parking is free for all. Obstructing the disabled parking bay might work if the person who needs it complains.

  13. TFL is run by the mayor. The Greater London Assembly members would probably be the people to contact for assistance. The Southwark member is Florence Eshalomi. Caroline Pigeon who is on the Transport Cttee is a former Southwark councillor.
  14. Rye Lane closure: Exhibition and drop in at Rye Lane Chapel in Rye Lane (near Primark) on November 1st 4-7pm. Loads of detail of bus diversions etc. This is being organised by Southern Gas Networks. There will also be details of the rolling programme of works. Full discussion at Peckham and Nunhead Community Council on Weds November 14th. Meeting at Harris Academy(112 Peckham Road SE15 5DZ) starts at 7pm work to start Monday Jan 7th 2019 and last 13mths. https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/rye-lane-to-close-from-january-7th/
  15. An effective way to contact the council over this is to use Fix My Street https://www.fixmystreet.com/my -- or if you feel this is too urgent to phone 0207 525 2000 and report it.
  16. It will. Tree officers love trees. email address and phone no here: http://www.southwark.gov.uk/environment/trees/tree-preservation-orders-and-conservation-areas
  17. One ways (particularly lovely straight ones) tend to increase speed.
  18. Land beside the railway will belong to Network Rail.
  19. apcoa will ticket vehicles parked on the pavement -- the kerb ie the stone edging -- is not enough Phone 0207 708 8587 and report them. Difficulty arises with transient dangerous parking which may be gone by the time they arrive
  20. Veolia charges the council for what it does. The council pays for everything that Veolia does. The council has to decide what the ratepayer (us) will pay for additionally ie what the council will not pay Veolia to do and what it will pay Veolia to do. The bulk household refuse collection was paid for by Southwark for a long time. Many councils have always charged (ie not subsidised) it. Several years ago the council decided that it would no longer subsidise the BHR collection but users must pay. The balance in the decision is between the cost of clearing up after dumping (because of the charge) and the cost of the subsidy.
  21. http://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/recycling/recycling-centres/reuse-and-recycling-centre?chapter=2 Looks like southwark do it. I think it's important to recycle energy-saving bulbs because they contain mercury which is notoriously bad for us.
  22. Report it to Apcoa on 0207 708 8587. They will ticket it and then can arranged for it to be removed as an obstruction.
  23. https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/route/176/ You are right. The journey planner has strange obsessions sometimes. You can google the buses direct -- this also has route obstructions etc which is always useful
  24. Brenchley gardens to walworth road? 63 to Kings on the Rye traffic lights and then 484 (0ver Dog Kennel Hill) or 12 through camberwell green (and up the Walworth Road). https://tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey/ It's by no means perfect but a good place to start. 484 probably the quicker option and probably as fast as a car. If you are at the other end of Brenchley Gardens then the 484 goes from outside St Anthony's church on Inverton Road. If you want the E&C end of Walworth Road then the 12 is the better bet because it goes all the way up. so from that end take the 484 to Camberwell Green and then take half a dozen buses which go up the Walworth Road.
