Melbourne Grove/Grove Vale junction CLOSED 10-16 May
bels123 replied to James Barber's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
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 -
Just seen this new planning application, documents aren't available on Southwark's planning portal yet but one to keep an eye on - 16/AP/1341 | Three storey rear extension to provide additional accommodation to two dwelling houses. | 2 AND 3 RAILWAY RISE, LONDON, SE22 8EE http://planbuild.southwark.gov.uk:8190/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=_STHWR_DCAPR_9565779

East Dulwich Hospital Site Planning Consultation
bels123 replied to Charlie Smith's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Consultation deadline is 19th April yet there is still no online survey to complete. Disappointed that such an important consultation is being managed so poorly - low response rates are likely if you expect people to print the form, use a stamp and post to the return address. Can't even see an email address to scan and send it to. Wonder why it can't be included within Southwark's list online of open consultations? https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/advanced_consultation_finder?st=open -
I was happy with one I hired from this website, just under ?25 incl super sized electrodes for 7 week hire. http://www.tens.co.uk/index.html

The proposed double yellow lines are all on junctions where you shouldn't park if follwing the Highway Code. Unfortunately some drivers completely ignore this and park dangerously close to the corner, meaning visibility is reduced and road safety problems follow. I'm all for it. Here's Southwark's explanation as to why below - Why are double yellow lines being proposed? The current proposals aim to remove obstructive and dangerous parking from all junctions in the area. The Highway Code makes it clear that motorists must not park within 10 metres of a junction, unless in a designated parking bay. However the council has no power to enforce this without the introduction of a traffic order and subsequent implementation of waiting restrictions (yellow lines). By introducing double yellow lines at junctions we ensure that we meet the needs of all road users whilst ensuring that motorists clearly understand where and when it is safe to park. In our experience motorists have a clearer understanding of the meaning of a double yellow line compared to their understanding of the Highway Code and therefore will abide by them without the need for enforcement. Where there are single yellow lines on a junction this can send out mixed messages that it is acceptable to park in these locations at certain times which is why we are proposing upgrading these to double yellow lines as part of this project. Ensuring adequate visibility between road users is important for safety. Visibility should generally be sufficient to allow road users to see potential conflicts or dangers in advance of the distance in which they will be able to brake and come to a stop. Vehicles that are parked at a junction have the effect of substantially reducing visibility between road users and reducing stopping sight distance (SSD). This is the viewable distance required for a driver to see so that they can make a complete stop before colliding with something in the street, e.g. pedestrian, cyclist or a stopped vehicle. Double yellow lines ensure this inter-visibility is provided at junctions and prevents people parking over dropped kerbs. It is noted that almost two thirds of cyclists killed or seriously injured in 2013 were involved in collisions at, or near, a road junction. Children and those in wheelchairs (whose eye level is below the height of a parked car) are disproportionally affected by vehicles parked too close to a junction. The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association (Guide Dogs) strongly recommend that yellow lines are implemented at junctions as these areas are potentially more dangerous to vulnerable road users.

Help getting my sleep back on track post baby
bels123 replied to bels123's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Many thanks to both of you, there's lots for me to think about and try there. Finding ways to help me switch off and relax more easily are the priority in the short term I think. Seeing my GP this week so will mention it there too. Thanks again, really appreciate your advice. -
It's almost a year since we did sleep training for my little one, with the help of the amazing Nicola Watson. He has slept really well ever since, however I am still struggling to have a good night's sleep and have decided to finally try and address it. Not sure what type of person I'm seeking to help me so any advice would be appreciated. Think I've been left with some underlying anxiety issues from the endless sleepless nights before my little one learnt how to self settle. All recommendations appreciated. Thanks
